Validation of aqueous two-phase extraction method.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, consumer interest in food with natural ingredients has increased. This need has led to the research of new sources and green extraction methods. Betalains are compounds responsible for giving color to cacti fruits. The aim is to obtain low-sugar betacyanins extracts from jiotilla Escontria chiotilla using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) to color food with the extract. The effect of principal parameters of ATPS (Ethyl alcohol- KH₂PO₄/K₂HPO₄) as tie-line length (TL;40,50 and 70), phase volume ratios (Vr; 1 and 3) on the partitioning of betacyanins, betaxanthins, total sugars, reducing sugars, and antioxidant activity in the extract was evaluated. The yields were determined from the top and bottom phases of the aforementioned parameters. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA, α = 0.05) showed that TLL and Vr were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The lowest bottom sugar yield (25.78 ± 3.14%) corresponds to TLL = 40, Vr = 3. Under these conditions, the corresponding value for betacyanins yield is 62.98±4.52%. For the first time, the ATPS was used to extract betacyanins from cactus fruit.•Escontria chiotilla, as a biological source, contained a high percent of betalains•Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) was statistically optimized•The developed method enriches the valorization of environmentally related plants waste materials.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Aqueous Two-Phase Extraction and Properties of Water-Soluble Polysaccharides from Malus hupehensis.

Project description:Malus hupehensis (M. hupehensis), an edible and medicinal plant with significant antioxidant and hypoglycemic activity, has been applied to new resource foods. However, the structural characterization and biological effects of its polysaccharides (MHP) are less known. The optimum extraction parameters to achieve the highest extraction efficiency (47.63%), the yield (1.68%) and purity of MHP (89.6%) by ultrasonic-assisted aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) were obtained under the liquid-to-solid ratio of 23 g/mL, ultrasonic power of 65 W, and ultrasonic time of 33 min. According to the analysis results, MHP was composed of Man, GlcA, Rha, GalA, Glc, Gal, Xyl, Ara, and Fuc, in which Ara and Gal were the main components, and the content of GlcA was the lowest. In in vitro activity analysis, MHP showed a significant antioxidant capacity, and an inhibition activity of α-glucosidase and the advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation in the BSA/Glc reaction model. MHP interacted with α-glucosidase and changed the internal microenvironment of the enzyme, and inhibited the AGEs formation, which provides more evidence for the antihyperglycemic mechanism of MHP. The results suggest that ATPS is an efficient and environmentally friendly solvent system, and M. hupehensis has broad application prospects in functional foods, healthcare products, and pharmaceuticals.

A modified method of separating Tl(I) and Tl(III) in aqueous samples using solid phase extraction.

Project description:In spite of the development of new measurement techniques in recent years, the rapid and accurate speciation of thallium in environmental aqueous samples remains a challenge. In this context, a novel method of solid phase extraction (SPE), involving the anion exchange resin AG1-X8, is proposed to separate Tl(I) and Tl(III). In the presence of diethylene triamine pentacetate acid (DTPA), Tl(III) and Tl(I) can be separated by selective adsorption of Tl(III)-DTPA onto the resin, Tl(III) is then eluted by a solution of HCl with SO2. The validity of this method was confirmed by assays of standard solutions of Tl(I) and Tl(III). The proposed method is shown to have an outstanding performance even in solutions with a high ratio of Tl(I)/Tl(III), and can be applied to aqueous samples with a high concentration of other electrolytes, which could interfere with the measurement. Portable equipment and reagents make it possible to use the proposed method routinely in the field.

One-step sorting of single-walled carbon nanotubes using aqueous two-phase extraction in the presence of basic salts.

Project description:We demonstrate a simple one-step approach to separate (6,5) CNTs from raw material by using the aqueous two-phase extraction method. To reach this goal, stable and inexpensive K2CO3, Na2CO3, Li2CO3, and K3PO4 basic salts are used as modulators of the differentiation process. Under the appropriate parameters, near monochiral fractions become available for straightforward harvesting. In parallel, we show that the isolation process is strongly affected not only by pH but by the inherent nature of the introduced chemical species as well. The results of our study also reveal that the commonly used ingredients of the biphasic system make a strong contribution to the course of the separation by having far from neutral pH values themselves.

Thermo-responsive aqueous two-phase system for two-level compartmentalization.

Project description:Hierarchical compartmentalization responding to changes in intracellular and extracellular environments is ubiquitous in living eukaryotic cells but remains a formidable task in synthetic systems. Here we report a two-level compartmentalization approach based on a thermo-responsive aqueous two-phase system (TR-ATPS) comprising poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and dextran (DEX). Liquid membraneless compartments enriched in PNIPAM are phase-separated from the continuous DEX solution via liquid-liquid phase separation at 25 °C and shrink dramatically with small second-level compartments generated at the interface, resembling the structure of colloidosome, by increasing the temperature to 35 °C. The TR-ATPS can store biomolecules, program the spatial distribution of enzymes, and accelerate the overall biochemical reaction efficiency by nearly 7-fold. The TR-ATPS inspires on-demand, stimulus-triggered spatiotemporal enrichment of biomolecules via two-level compartmentalization, creating opportunities in synthetic biology and biochemical engineering.

Data on the extraction of benzoic, salicylic and sulfosalicylic acids from dilute solutions using PEG-based aqueous two-phase systems.

Project description:The use of green chemistry principles in the extraction of aromatic acids from dilute aqueous solutions has been considered. The extraction of a number of aromatic acids important for the food and pharmaceutical industries in heterogeneous systems based on poly(ethylene) glycol 1500 (PEG-1500) has been studied for the first time. This research presents a data of the quantitative characteristics of the extraction of benzoic, salicylic and sulfosalicylic acids using a PEG-1500 (15 wt %)/Na2SO4 (9 wt %) aqueous two-phase system under various conditions (temperature and рН). The effect of various phase-forming salts (Na2CO3, (NH4)2SO4, and (NH4)2HPO4) in a PEG-1500-based aqueous two-phase system on the extraction of aromatic acids has been found. For salicylic and sulfosalicylic acids, distribution coefficients when using (NH4)2HPO4 have been obtained that considerably exceed values for conventional water-organic solvent systems.

Variations in bile salt surfactant structure allow tuning of the sorting of single-wall carbon nanotubes by aqueous two-phase extraction.

Project description:Being some of the most efficient agents to individually solubilize single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), bile salt surfactants (BSS) represent the foundation for the surfactant-based structure sorting and spectroscopic characterization of SWCNTs. In this work, we investigate three BSS in their ability to separate different SWCNT chiral structures by aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE): sodium deoxycholate (DOC), sodium cholate (SC) and sodium chenodeoxycholate (CDOC). The small difference in their chemical structure (just one hydroxyl group) leads to significant differences in their stacking behavior on SWCNT walls with different diameter and chiral structure that, in turn, has direct consequences for the chiral sorting of SWCNTs using these BSS. By performing several series of systematic ATPE experiments, we reveal that, in general, the stacking of DOC and CDOC is more enantioselective than the stacking of SC on the SWCNT walls, while SC has a clear diameter preference for efficiently solubilizing the SWCNTs in comparison to DOC and CDOC. Moreover, combining sodium dodecylsulfate with SC allows for resolving the ATPE sorting transitions of empty and water-filled SWCNTs for a number of SWCNT chiralities. We also show that addition of SC to combinations of DOC and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate can enhance separations of particular chiralities.

Novel properties of recombinant Sso7d-Taq DNA polymerase purified using aqueous two-phase extraction: Utilities of the enzyme in viral diagnosis.

Project description:Using Sso7d from Sulfolobus solfataricus as the DNA binding protein fused to Taq DNA polymerase at its amino terminus, we report the hyper-expression and a novel purification methodology of Sso7d-Taq polymerase (S-Taq) using aqueous two-phase extraction system followed by Ni-affinity chromatography. The utility of such a fusion enzyme in carrying out PCR of human genes from whole blood directly and in detecting hepatitis B virus from clinical samples is demonstrated in this article. We present data on the enhanced thermo-stability of S-Taq DNA polymerase over Taq DNA polymerase and also provide evidence of its higher stability with detergents in comparison to Taq polymerase. The purified S-Taq protein showed acceptable limits of host genomic DNA levels without the use of DNases and other DNA precipitating agents and shows promising potential for use in PCR based diagnostics, in-situ PCR's and forensic science.

A green hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent for extraction of phenol from aqueous phase.

Project description:Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), have been recognized as effective materials for the extraction of different compounds. In this study, the performance of a novel hydrophobic DES was evaluated for the extraction of phenol from aqueous solutions. Octanoic and dodecanoic fatty acid precursors with a definite molar ratio of 3:1, respectively, were used for the DES having a low melting point of 8.3 °C. The purity and stability of the product were confirmed via characterizing by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR methods. The liquid-liquid equilibrium of the water + phenol + DES ternary system at different temperatures of 293.2, 298.2 and 308.2 K was accordingly studied through cloud point titration method and refractive index measurement. Interestingly, the important parameters of the solute distribution coefficient and the separation factor were, respectively, within the high levels of (6.8321-9.7787) and (895.76-2770.17), indicating the amazing capability of the DES. Reasonably, both of these parameters decreased with temperature. The NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were employed to reproduce the obtained tie-lines and to determine the interaction parameters at each temperature. The low level root mean square deviations for the mentioned models were, respectively, within (0.0014-0.0027) and (0.0045-0.0063); confirming satisfactorily agreement with the experimental data.

An Aqueous Two-Phase System for the Concentration and Extraction of Proteins from the Interface for Detection Using the Lateral-Flow Immunoassay.

Project description:The paper-based immunoassay for point-of-care diagnostics is widely used due to its low cost and portability over traditional lab-based assays. Lateral-flow immunoassay (LFA) is the most well-established paper-based assay since it is rapid and easy to use. However, the disadvantage of LFA is its lack of sensitivity in some cases where a large sample volume is required, limiting its use as a diagnostic tool. To improve the sensitivity of LFA, we previously reported on the concentration of analytes into one of the two bulk phases of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) prior to detection. In this study, we preserved the advantages of LFA while significantly improving upon our previous proof-of-concept studies by employing a novel approach of concentrating gold nanoparticles, a common LFA colorimetric indicator. By conjugating specific antibodies and polymers to the surfaces of the particles, these gold nanoprobes (GNPs) were able to capture target proteins in the sample and subsequently be concentrated within 10 min at the interface of an ATPS solution comprised of polyethylene glycol, potassium phosphate, and phosphate-buffered saline. These GNPs were then extracted and applied directly to LFA. By combining this prior ATPS interface extraction with LFA, the detection limit of LFA for a model protein was improved by 100-fold from 1 ng/μL to 0.01 ng/μL. Additionally, we examined the behavior of the ATPS system in fetal bovine serum and synthetic urine to more closely approach real-world applications. Despite using more complex matrices, ATPS interface extraction still improved the detection limit by 100-fold within 15 to 25 min, demonstrating the system's potential to be applied to patient samples.

Aqueous two-phase systems enable multiplexing of homogeneous immunoassays.

Project description:Quantitative measurement of protein biomarkers is critical for biomarker validation and early disease detection. Current multiplex immunoassays are time consuming costly and can suffer from low accuracy. For example, multiplex ELISAs require multiple, tedious, washing and blocking steps. Moreover, they suffer from nonspecific antibody cross-reactions, leading to high background and false-positive signals. Here, we show that co-localizing antibody-bead pairs in an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) enables multiplexing of sensitive, no-wash, homogeneous assays, while preventing nonspecific antibody cross-reactions. Our cross-reaction-free, multiplex assay can simultaneously detect picomolar concentrations of four protein biomarkers ((C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), CXCL9, interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6) in cell supernatants using a single assay well. The potential clinical utility of the assay is demonstrated by detecting diagnostic biomarkers (CXCL10 and CXCL9) in plasma from 88 patients at the onset of the clinical symptoms of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
