We measured tablets containing CS and COL using NIR spectroscopy to develop an evaluation method for PGs in cartilage non-destructively and non-invasively. Calibration curves were constructed using the NIR spectra of the tablets that show the quantitative linear relationship between the concentration and height of the second derivative at 4260 cm<sup>−1</sup> for COL and at 5800 cm<sup>−1</sup> for COL and CS. An equation to calculate the CS-to-COL ratio was derived from the calibrated slopes at 5800 and 4260 cm<sup>−1</sup>, and the utility of the equation was demonstrated by the evaluation of tablets. Moreover, we conducted an evaluation of the CS-to-COL ratio in the aqueous nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus, and the results were consistent with the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)-to-COL ratios obtained through Raman spectroscopy of the same specimens.

Its level in the human body is closely linked to human health, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. The supplementation of exogenous GSH could bring health benefits and GSH detection in food is of considerable importance. However, the existing assays for GSH detection such as high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, electrochemiluminescence and fluorescent nanoprobe were not satisfactory because of the disadvantages of equipment and site requirements. In this study, a multiple-colorimetric detection assay for GSH was developed based on GSH’s reaction with gold nanorods. During the reaction with varying concentrations of GSH, the gold nanorods degraded into spherical nanoparticles with multiple color changes, which could be used to determine GSH concentrations. The transverse surface plasmon resonance absorption peak of gold nanorods (AuNRs) significantly shifted, indicating a novel mechanism distinct from etching or surface coating, which typically altered the longitudinal surface plasmon absorption peak. Under optimized conditions, the assay exhibited commendable specificity and reliability in actual samples. The assay accurately quantified GSH ranging from 1 to 10 µM, with detection limits of 439 nM and 260 nM for spectrophotometry and visual analysis, respectively. It was firstly to use GSH as a reducing agent to react with AuNRs in the presence of AgNO<sub>3</sub> and the mechanism was different from etching or surface coating. The study’s assay shows potential for detecting GSH in food samples and provides an alternative approach for the development of colorimetric detection assays based on AuNRs.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":"41 4","pages":"335 - 343"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While maintaining the total flow rate (<i>F</i><sub>T</sub>) constant, a titrand solution was merged with a titrant solution, both containing the same concentration of Van Urk’s universal indicator, under varying flow ratios.

One of the keys to successfully characterizing liquid gold, which is a complex mixture, is to distinguish Au-containing products from other chemicals. In this paper, we propose a separation based on the difference in collision cross section, of which chemicals with heavy atoms are relatively smaller than those without in ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS). Chemicals containing a single Au atom (and Pt atom) were successfully separated from other species in the two-dimensional distribution map for IM-MS. By a detailed analysis of the spectra obtained by IM-MS/MS with collision-induced dissociation before and after IM separation, we found that liquid gold (gold resinate) was a mixture of a series of (1) Au reacted with α-pinene-related units and (2) Au reacted with abietic acid units. α-Pinene and abietic acid are the main components of turpentine and rosin, the raw materials of liquid gold as reported previously (<i>Anal.
