摘要:By virtue of high shear dispersing emulsification(HSDE) technology,the extraction of four kinds of polyphenols(e.g.(-) epigallocatechin gallate,(-) epigallocatechin,(-) epicatechin gallate,and (-) gallocatechin gallate),gallic acid and caffeine in the tea leaves was studied by using 20% ethanol aqueous solution as extraction solvent.The kinetics and thermodynamics of the extraction process were investigated.The kinetic equations in extraction process of the four kinds of polyphenols,gallic acid and caffeine were obtained according to kinetic theory,and the rate constant k was also calculated.The values of thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy,entropy and free energy were computed based on thermodynamic theory.Furthermore,the extraction mechanism was explored on the basis of kinetic and thermodynamic analyses.The optimal conditions of the extraction method through HSDE technology were as follows:extraction solution:20% alcohol aqueous solution,solid-liquid ratio:1∶50,rotation speed:10 000 r/min,extraction time:180 s,extraction temperature:313.15 K.Under the optimum conditions,the extraction efficiencies of active ingredients in tea leaves could reach up to 95%.Compared with other pretreatment methods for tea leaves,the proposed method possesses many advantages such as higher extraction speed,less consumption of extraction solution and higher extraction efficiency.The method would have a good prospect in application of the extraction of natural product.
摘要:An internal standard quantitative method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 24 phthalate esters(PAEs) in sea foods by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).1.0 g Sample was taken into glass centrifuge tube,followed by adding 100 μL internal standard solution(10 mg/L),0.5 g NaCl and 5 mL acetonitrile-acetate ester(1∶1) extraction solution.The solution was mixed for 1 min,and extracted by ultrasonic for 5 min and centrifuged for 5 min at 4 000 r/min.The extraction step was repeated with 3 mL acetonitrile-acetate ester.The two extracted solvents were concentrated to 1-2 mL,and then cleaned up through a glass Florisil SPE column.The analyses of 24 PAEs were carried out by GC-MS under selected ion monitoring(SIM) mode.The results showed that 24 PAEs had good linear relationships(r>0.999) between 0.05 mg/L and 10.0 mg/L.The limits of quantitation(LOQs) of 24 PAEs were in the range of 1-500 μg/kg,and the limits of detection(LODs) were in the range of 0.1-100 μg/kg.The average recoveries of 24 PAEs in fish and prawn samples ranged from 73% to 120%,with relative standard deviations(RSDs,n=6) of 2.0%-19.7%.The method was well suitable for the determination of PAEs in sea foods with its high sensitivity and precision.
摘要:A uniform and stable inorganic-organic nanocomposite containing single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) and dodecyl aldehyde(DA) was obtained by ultrasonication method.The dispersant was dropped on a glassy carbon electrode surface for dryness to get a modified electrode(SWNTs-DA/GCE).Then the amino modified single-stranded probe DNA was covalently immobilized on SWNTs-DA/GCE by a facile amine-aldehyde condensation reaction,from which a novel DNA electrochemical sensor was constructed.The layer by layer assembly process of the biosensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- ions as electroactive probes.The analytical performance of the biosensor was investigated through using methylene blue(MB) as the hybridization indicator,and the results showed that the peak currents of MB on the biosensor had a good linear relationship with logarithm values of the target DNA concentrations(lgCS2) in the range of 1.0×10-15-1.0×10-10 mol/L(r=0.998).Based on three times of the signal to noise ratio(S/N=3),the limit of detection was estimated to be 2.0×10-16 mol/L.The selectivity experiments further showed that the complementary sequences,three base mismatched sequences and the non-complementary sequences could be well distinguished by the biosensor.

摘要:A carbon nanotube(CNT) thin film field emission cathode was prepared by drop casting method,and its field emission characterisitic was studied by ultra violet photoelectron emission spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.The results indicated that the field emission curves of the CNT thin films obeyed the Fowler-Nordheim(FN) theory.The minimum turn-on field and the threshold field were 3.33 MV/m and 5.44 MV/m,respectively.The field enhancement factor was found to be around 103.The ultraviolet photoelectron emission spectral analysis showed that the low-energy cut-off edge of the CNTs thin film gradually decreases as the applied bias increases,which indicated that the applied bias has pull down the effective emission barrier greatly so that electrons can emit at smaller electrical field without geometric enhancement.The reduction of effective emission barrier is explained by the contact effect from the CNTs/Ni interface.In addition,the bias drop on the thin film also leads to the reduction of the surface barrier,which is particularly obvious in the unpurified CNTs thin film,and it is related to the residue of amorphous carbon(a-C) in the thin film.

摘要:The electrochemical behavior and reaction mechanism of scutellarin on the graphite electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammetric method on graphite electrode.A couple of sensitive and quasi-reversible redox peaks were obtained,with an oxidation peak at 0.154 V and a reduction peak at 0.073 V.The voltammetric behavior of scutellarin in different pH values showed that its oxidation reaction on the electrode involved two electrons and two prontons.The voltammetric behavior of scutellarin at different scan rates showed that its oxidation process was an adsorption-controlled process at low scan rates and a diffusion-controlled process at high scan rates.In 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffers(pH 7.0),the oxidation peak current of scutellarin in differential pulse voltammetric(DPV) curve was proportional to the concentration range of 5.0×10-7-5.0×10-5 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.5×10-7 mol/L.This method was applied in the determination of scutellarin in Erigeron breviscapus with recovery of 98%.

摘要:The effect of column temperature on the retention behavior of organic acids(aliphatic carboxylic acids and benzenecarboxylic acids) in ion exclusion chromatography with direct conductivity detection was investigated.Chromatographic separations of organic acids were performed on a Shim-pack SCR-102H ion-exclusion column using p-toluenesulfonic acid or sulfuric acid as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min at various column temperatures from 25 ℃ to 50 ℃.The separations of six common aliphatic carboxylic acids(formic acid,acetic acid,propionic acid,butyric acid,valeric acid and caproic acid)were performed using 0.2 mmol/L p-toluenesulfonic acid as mobile phase.Six kinds of benzenecarboxylic acids(o-phthalic acid,salicylic acid,benzene acetic acid,p-hydroxybenzoic acid,benzoic acid,o-methylbenzoic acid) were eluted and separated using 0.08 mmol/L sulfuric acid as mobile phase.The results indicated that the retention values of organic acids were decreased with the increase of column temperature.However,for each organic acid,the effect degree of temperature is different.That is to say,the variations of retention values for each organic acid are different with the change of temperature.In general,the variations of retention values for strongly retained organic acids are greater than that for weakly retained species.Through the linear regression data,the conclusion that the linearities of the Van’t Hoff plots for organic acids are satisfactory may be derived.By changing the column temperature,the retention value variations of organic acids(especially the strong retain organic acids) can be realized,the peak shapes and separations of organic acids can be improved.
摘要:Reference materials are helpful to the evaluation of the performance of laboratories and for the quality control of analytical procedures.However,reference materials containing veterinary drugs in royal jelly powder are not available.A method regarding the preparation of reference material for metronidazole residue in royal jelly powder was presented.About 400 packages of royal jelly powder were obtained from the non-compliant sample by the procedure of homogenation,cryodesiccation and packaging.The homogeneity,short-term stability and long-term stability were examined by F-test or t-test,and all of them could meet the requirement for reference material at a confidence level of 95%.The value of metronidazole in this sample was certified through the collaborative analysis program by 8 expert laboratories at home and abroad using different sample preparation procedures,but exclusively LC-MS/MS method.The data were evaluated by Grubbs test and Cochran test.Meanwhile,the uncertainty due to sample homogeneity,short-term and long-term stabilities and variabilities in the characterization procedure was estimated.
