Selective and comprehensive analysis of organohalogen compounds by GC?×?GC-HRTofMS and MS/MS.

ABSTRACT: Thousands of organohalogen compounds, including hazardous chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other persistent organic pollutants (POPs), were selectively and simultaneously detected and identified with simple, or no, purification from environmental sample extracts by using several advanced methods. The methods used were software extraction from two-dimensional gas chromatography-high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC?×?GC-HRTofMS) data, measurement by negative chemical ionization with HRTofMS, and neutral loss scanning (NLS) with GC?×?GC-MS/MS. Global and selective detection of organochlorines and bromines in environmental samples such as sediments and fly ash was achieved by NLS using GC?×?GC-MS/MS (QQQ), with the expected losses of ³⁵Cl and ⁷⁹Br. We confirmed that negative chemical ionization was effective for sensitive and selective ionization of organohalogens, even using GC?×?GC-HRTofMS. The 2D total ion chromatograms obtained by using negative chemical ionization and selective extraction of organohalogens using original software from data measured by electron impact ionization were very similar; the software thus functioned well to extract organohalogens. Combining measurements made by using these different methods will help to detect organohalogens selectively and globally. However, to compare the data obtained by individual measurements, the retention times of the peaks on the 2D chromatograms need to match.

Project description:Shandong matcha has the quality characteristics of bright green color, seaweed-like aroma and strong, fresh and brisk taste. In order to identify the characteristic aroma components and clarify the contribution of the grinding process to the aroma of Shandong matcha. Three grades of Shandong matcha and corresponding tencha material were firstly tested with sensory evaluation, and the volatile components were extracted with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed using GC–MS. The sensory evaluation results showed that high-grade matcha (M-GS) had prominent seaweed-like, fresh and roasted notes, whereas medium and low-grade matcha (M-G1, M-G2) were gradually coupled with grassy, fatty and high-fired aromas. GC–MS results showed that in the HS-SPME method, heterocyclic compounds (45.84–65.35%) were the highest in Shandong matcha, followed by terpenoids (7.44–16.92%) and esters (6.91–15.27%), while in the safe method, esters were the highest (12.96–24.99%), followed by terpenoids (10.76–25.09%) and heterocyclic compounds (12.12–17.07%). As a whole, the composition of volatile components between M-G1 and M-G2 is relatively close, and there are more differences in volatile components between them and M-GS. The volatile components unique to M-GS were screened using the odor activity value (OAV) evaluation method, with components such as 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, 3-ethyl-Phenol, 2-thiophenemethanethiol, 2,4-undecadienal, (E,E)-2,6-nonadienal, (E,Z)- being evaluated. There were other differentially volatile components, that is, volatile components that coexist in the three grades of matcha, but with different concentrations and proportions. M-G1 and M-G2 contained more volatile substances with high-fired aroma, such as 2-ethyl-3-methyl-pyrazine, coumarin and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoxaline. The grinding process not only changes the appearance of tencha, but also increases the content of volatile components of matcha as a whole, enhancing the aroma and flavor characteristics of matcha. In this study, the contents of 24 volatile components in matcha were mainly increased, such as benzene, (2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-, cis-7-decen-1-al, safranal and fenchyl acetate. The dual factors of material tencha and matcha grinding technology are indispensable in forming the differences in aroma and flavor of Shandong matcha at different levels.

Project description:Bacterial metabolites have been observed to be important in new drug formulation for both plant, animals and human beings. The aim of this study was to identify the different bioactive compounds found in three rhizobacterial isolates (B. amyloliquefaciens, B. thuringiensis and Bacillus sp.) from the rhizosphere of Bambara groundnut and to assay for their antibacterial properties. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to carry out the analysis using seven extraction solvents. In the GC-MS analysis, 68 compounds were identified based on peak area percentage, retention time and structure. From the bioactive compounds in B. amyloliquefaciens and B. thuringiensis, the peak area percentage shows that dimethylfuvene from ethyl acetate extraction had the highest relative abundance with 89.11% while Formic acid 2-methylpropyl ester from hexane extraction had the lowest with 6.25%. Others are tridecane, acetic acid butyl ester, paraldehyde, s-(+)-1,2 propanediol, tropone, phthalan and p-xylene with relative abundance of 61.72%, 60.41%, 83.79%, 71.53%, 24.06%, 86.72% and 64.33% respectively. These extracts inhibited the growth of the four test organisms, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus cryophilus and Enterococcus feacalis. Butanol extract from B. amyloliquefaciens had 28 mm zone of inhibition against B. cereus compared to 18 mm and 16 mm by Bacillus sp. and B. thuringiensis respectively. Its zone of inhibition was 24 mm zone against M. cryophilus compared to 12 mm and 19 mm by Bacillus sp. and B. thuringiensis respectively. Butanol extract from B. thuringiensis suppressed E. feacalis and P. aeruginosa having 23 mm and 26 mm zones of inhibition respectively. This was higher compared to Bacillus sp. and B. amyloliquefaciens having 18 mm/15 mm and 21 mm/15 mm against E. feacalis and P. aeruginosa respectively. Hexane and ethyl acetate extract from Bacillus sp. suppressed P. aeruginosa with 12 mm and 17 mm inhibition zones respectively compared to no inhibition zones from hexane extract of B. amyloliquefaciens and B. thuringiensis. Zones of inhibition of 2 mm and 6 mm were observed against P. aeruginosa from ethyl acetate extract of B. amyloliquefaciens and B. thuringiensis respectively. These results suggest that the three isolates are quite rich in the production of bioactive compounds that are also very effective antibacterial agents. These volatile organic compounds are promising compounds for more antibacterial bioactivity development.
