Mushroom samples were collected from Kenya's Arabuko-Sokoke and Kakamega National Reserved Forests and identified using morphological and molecular techniques.

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to analyze the chloroform, 70% ethanol, and hot water extracts of all the species examined. A total of 51 compounds were isolated from all extracts and classified as carboxylic acids, esters, phenols, fatty acids, alcohol, epoxides, aldehydes, fatty aldehydes, isoprenoid lipids, and steroids. Tetracosamethyl-cyclododecasiloxane (18.90%), oleic acid (72.90%), phenol, 2, 6-bis (1, 1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-, and methylcarbamate (26.56%) were all found in high concentrations in <i>A. auricular judae</i>, <i>M. xanthopus</i>, <i>T. umkowaani</i>, <i>T. elegans</i>, and <i>T. versicolor</i>, respectively. Fatty acids make up the majority of the compounds isolated from the <i>T. elegans</i> chloroform extract and the <i>T. umkowaani</i> 70% ethanol extract, respectively. Particularly, these fatty acids play crucial roles in the anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic, anticancer, and antibiofilm formation activities.

To ensure food safety, sensitive and effective analytical methods have been developing rapidly. This review describes sample extraction and cleanup methods, and different analytical techniques are used for the determination of veterinary drug residues in milk and meat. Sample extraction methods, such as solvent extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, and cleanup methods such as dispersive solid-phase extraction and immunoaffinity chromatography, were summarized.

The stem bark of <i>A. nobilis</i> is known to contain brucine and is used to treat intestinal parasites, stomachaches, gonorrhoea, wounds, etc. The extensive use has led to high market value and adulteration of their herbal products. In this work, the antioxidant properties of extracts of <i>A. nobilis</i> are verified, and a validated RP-HPLC method is used to estimate the brucine content of extracts and products containing <i>A. nobilis</i>. Stem bark extracts from ethyl acetate, 96% v/v ethanol, 70% v/v ethanol, and water of <i>A. nobilis</i> were investigated for phytochemical content using standard methods and their antioxidant activity using DPPH and phosphomolybdenum assays. An RP-HPLC method was developed and validated using brucine as a reference standard.

In this study, we present the steps of the validation process with its statistical tests applied to the dosage of di-iode. Shapiro–Wilk test revealed that our method has a random character. Homogeneity of variance analyses using the Cochran test confirmed the precision of the method. The Fisher test revealed the linearity of the model of correlation between I2 concentration and the response. The relation between response and concentration is A = 1000 C + 0.002. From the parameters of the linear regression of the model, we deduced the limits of quantification and XLq = 4·10−5 mol·L−1 and XLd = 1·10−5 mol·L−1. Thanks to tightness of the sample, the method of I2 dosage was successfully applied in iodine quantification to monitor acetone iodination during time in the context of kinetic studies with minimum system trouble.
