Most studies focus on total NP content, with limited research on individual isomers. This study developed a method to separation and detection of 10 NP isomers using GC-FID-MS combined with Deans switch. It can effectively transfer NPs from the first gas chromatography column (DB-5MS) to the second column (CP-ChiraSil-DEXCB), achieving efficient separation of the 10 isomers. Sewage and sludge samples from wastewater treatment plants were prepared using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and solid-liquid extraction. NP isomers in sewage samples were enriched with a phenol-specific SPE column, rinsed with 10 mL methanol-water (v/v 2:8), and eluted with 3 mL methanol and 5 mL dichloromethane. NP isomers in sludge samples underwent three ultrasonic extractions with 30 mL ethyl acetate-dichloromethane (v/v 1:1).

This method was based on the enactment of veterinary drug compounds by Korea, Canada, the United States, and the European Union in recent years. The samples were extracted using 85% acetonitrile and separated on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) with a gradient elution of methanol-0.2% formic acid water as the mobile phase. The detection of the analytes was achieved through the use of positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes, while the quantification was conducted via the matrix-matched external standard method. Following optimization, the linearity of the target veterinary residues in the ten matrices was observed to be satisfactory, having a range of 0.5–50.0 ng/mL (R² &gt; 0.991).

However, due to the complexity and low content of the components in these samples, developing rapid and sensitive methods for the isolation and extraction of flavonoids still remains a challenge in medical and food science. Herein, a 4-formylphenylboronic acid functionalized magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanomaterial (Fe₃O₄@FPBA) was synthesized and applied as a sorbent of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) to covalently extract flavonoids from leaves of <em>Lonicera japonica</em> Thunb.. The structure, morphology and magnetic properties of Fe₃O₄@FPBA particles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) technologies. Employing luteoloside, luteolin, lonicerin, hyperoside, quercetin and rutin as model compounds, Fe₃O₄@FPBA as sorbent, a MSPE coupling with capillary electrophoresis (CE) method was developed and optimized to detect the flavonoids. Adsorption kinetics display that the adsorption of flavonoids by Fe₃O₄@FPBA is in line with the Quasi-second-order model, which is controlled by chemisorption mechanism, with the equilibrium adsorption capacity ranging from 3.66 to 6.16 mg/g. The isothermal adsorption model shows that the adsorption is more consistent with Freundlich isotherm equation, and the exponent n is around 1. In addition, the material was applied to the leaves of <em>Lonicera japonica</em> Thunb. extract. Four kinds of flavonoids and three other o-hydroxyl compounds were covalently extracted and magnetically separated. Moreover, the material can still maintain high adsorption properties after recycling 5 times. The material possesses strong magnetism and boric acid ligands, which can realize rapid and high-capacity separation and enrichment of flavonoids in liquid samples. Therefore, the strategy offers an innovative method for the extraction and purification of flavonoids from complex natural plants and also provides a research basis for the discovery of new medicinal compounds based on natural products.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography A","volume":"1744 ","pages":"Article 465729"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the analysis of odorants, gas chromatography (GC) plays a dominant role and is particularly indispensable for odorant screening by GC–olfactometry (GC–O).

Using a set of 14 test compounds, we evaluated ten different GC injection approaches. Artifact-producing reactions were particularly 1,2-eliminations. Linalyl acetate additionally showed [1,3]-sigmatropic shifts. On-column injection was confirmed as the gold standard, with virtually zero artifact formation observed not only with classic cold on-column injection in the oven, but also with on-column injection in a programmable temperature vaporizing (PTV) injector. Substantial artifact formation was observed when a high fixed injector temperature was combined with splitless injection. This applied to the injection of liquid samples but even more so to headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS–SPME) approaches. In conclusion, we recommend using on-column injection whenever aiming at a representative odorant spectrum, such as in GC–O. In targeted analysis, critical approaches such as SPME should be carefully tested for artifact formation.

First, the applicable rage of HAWat and EBuWat solvent systems were quantified by the methanol concentration at the column inlet when template molecules peak in a HPLC analysis (B%). Then, we analyzed the relationship between the logarithmic partition coefficient (<em>log K</em>) of template molecules and the alcohol solvent ratio by using different brands of chromatography columns. Moreover, the prediction function was developed by correlating the best solvent composition of CCC solvent system with the B% of template molecules.
