The validated method showed a linear range, from 0.025 to 0.5 μg mL-1 and detection and quantitation limits (LOD and LOQ) of 0.0015 to 0.008 μg g-1 and from 0.005 to 0.025 μg g-1, respectively. Validation was based on analysis at five fortification levels and showed satisfactory recoveries (60.00% to 99.14%) and high precision (RSDs between 2.05% to 17.44%). The method is easy, with low consumption of reagents, is characterized by reliability, sensitivity and therefore is suitable for the monitoring the levels of neonicotinoid residues in tomato. Moreover, the developed method was successfully applied to quantify neonicotinoid residues in market samples of tomato.","PeriodicalId":15534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography & Separation Techniques","volume":"14 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88149126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Section 2.1 Sampling, as stated in the manuscript, the water samples were immediately acidified with HCl (Hydrochloric acid) after filtration. This is an incorrect approach. Since the determination is to be carried out by laser fluorimetry, the addition of HCl will further increase the chloride ion concentration, which is a well-known quencher of uranyl fluorescence [2]. HCl is never used for acidification of water samples for preservation. Nitric acid (HNO3) is always recommended for acidification. It is further stated in Section 2.1 that, for chemical analysis, the water samples were collected in suitable bottles without the acidification step, and the pH and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) were monitored with a multi-parameter TDS and pH meter.

Polyphenolic compounds are known to possess antioxidant properties; hence, their isolation is a rout to add value to the apple pomace waste. The current research investigated the efficacy of subcritical water in the recovery of the polyphenolic antioxidant compounds from the apple pomace using a batch reactor system at 100-bar over a temperature range of 100-200°C. Experimental factors such as; nature of apple pomace, solid-to-solvent ratio, temperature, and residence time were studied and their impact on the yields of polyphenolic content and antioxidant activity were examined. Response surface methodology was used to design the experiment to study the potential interaction of operational parameter effects on overall recovery of polyphenolic compounds. Designed conditions demonstrated selectivity towards significant recovery of the polyphenolic compounds and antioxidant activity by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC). Optimized total Phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the wet apple pomace were achieved at 200°C for 1% solid-to-solvent ratio at a residence time of 30 minutes. Optimum Total phenolic content and ORAC activity of subcritical water extract were 49.86 mg GAE /g dw and 99285 μmol TE/g dw of apple pomace respectively. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC-DAD) in a reverse mode was applied to identify polyphenolic contents of the pomace extracts. Representative Hydrocinnamic acid and flavonoids were, Chlorogenic acid, Phloridzin, Procyanidin B2, Epicatechin and Quercetin glycosides. Water soluble antioxidant compound Protocatechuic aldehyde was identified for the first time only in the subcritical water extract and to date have not been identified in solvent extracts of cider apple pomace.","PeriodicalId":15534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography & Separation Techniques","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77796851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Desired separation was achieved within 20 min using mixture of 3 mM CH3SO3H+CH3CN (90:10) as mobile phase on Dionex Ion Pac SCS1 column at temperature of 30°C. Calibration curve for all the cations (Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+) in the concentration range of 2.5-20 ppm and 3-100 ppm for dialkyl amine were plotted and it was observed that the correlation coefficient (R2) list in between 0.9980 and 1.0. Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) observed for all the abovementioned cations were in the range of 0.81-2.33%. Recovery of all the cations at different concentrations of amine processing matrix was in the range of 80-120%. The lower Limit of Detection (LOD) for Li+, Na+, K+, NH4+ was 0.5 ppm, and for MDEA and all above alkyl amines was 1.0 ppm. The operational simplicity of this method in terms of accuracy and precision can be a good alternative for the estimation of above ions in amine processing solution.","PeriodicalId":15534,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography & Separation Techniques","volume":"222 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74459949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
