Abstract Reference materials (RMs) and certified reference (CRMs) are essential for ensuring compliance of food products with international standards. In fish, mercury content is closely monitored due to associated human health risks. This study developed a CRM total (Hg) methylmercury (MeHg) in striped catfish ( Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum ) from the Colombian Amazon. The process involved raw material selection, sample preparation, homogeneity, stability, resulting INM-039–1. Total Hg was...

Microbes are suitable candidates to recover and decontaminate different environments from soluble metal ions, either via reduction or precipitation generate insoluble, non-toxic derivatives. In general, microorganisms reduce toxic ions generating nanostructures (NS), which display great applicability in biotechnological processes. Since the molecular bases of bacterial still unknown, search for new -environmentally safe less expensive- methods synthesize NS have made biological systems...

In this work a study of several variables that affect the matrix effects (ME) was performed. The choice given among four extraction solvents and different clean-up methods which were compared in order to find method produces least ME gives highest response for 18 compounds. Variability under identical chromatographic conditions five fruits also studied. Finally we evaluated analyte/matrix ratios assess ME. results showed significantly better responses (P < 0.05) achieved by using mixture...

The enzymatic synthesis of short-tailed alkyl glucosides is generally carried out in an aqueous-organic biphasic reaction medium with a rather low fatty alcohol concentration the aqueous phase (where occurs). Thus, hydrolytic reactions have significant impact on performance. Given this background, use acetone as cosolvent was studied for butyl-β-galactoside Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase. liquid-liquid equilibrium mixture components (acetone/1-butanol/aqueous solution) determined and...

Abstract Titrations are a group of techniques that have contributed considerably to developing the chemical industry and chemistry itself. Currently, Consultative Committee for Amount Substance has recognized titration as one primary methods determining amount substance. In this context, an accurate gravimetric complexometric method was implemented determine purity ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) disodium salt dihydrate using lead nitrate-certified reference material (CRM). The...

Liver plays a major role in metabolism and acts as source of energy for the body by storing glycogen. With growing interest investigation biological effects recent years, it is important necessary to develop accurate comparable analytical methods elements bio-samples. It has, however, been 10 years since tissue sample (bovine liver) CCQM-K49 key comparison. The purpose CCQM-K145 ensure traceable measurement results essential toxic such P, S, Zn, Mn, Ni, Mo, Sr, Cr, Co, Pb, As Hg bovine liver...

Pesticide quantitation in foods relies on the availability of matrix reference materials, which, however, are scarce because general instability pesticides. In particular, no avocado material has been developed.This research aimed to develop a support determination pesticide residues avocado.Avocado was spiked with 11 selected pesticides at levels 0.01-0.35 mg/kg. The production process included assessment between-unit heterogeneity, stability during dispatch, and best storage conditions...

After completing a supplementary comparison SIM.QM-S7, the National Metrology Institute of Colombia (NMIC) requested to Research Council Canada (NRC) subsequent bilateral comparison, because INMC considered that its results in SIM.QM-S7 unrepresentative standards. In this context, NRC agreed coordinate with aim demonstrating measurement capabilities trace elements fresh water. Participants included NMIC and LATU. No method was prescribed by coordinating laboratory. Therefore, NMIs used...
