Abstract The phenolic glycoside arbutin and its metabolite with uroantiseptic activity hydroquinone occur naturally in the leaves of various medicinal plants spices. In this study, an extraction procedure coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed to determine content strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L., Ericaceae) leaves. method showed good linearity (R 2 >0.9987) tested concentration range (0.5-200 μg mL -1 ), as well precision (RSD<5 %), analytical recovery...
A leading Croatian manufacturer of natural mineral waters and soft drinks utilizes two artesian wells located in the western part Pannonian region to produce over 600 million liters per year. In order assess chemical contamination levels sourced from these wells, this study examined presence metal(loid)s [by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)], phthalate esters (PAEs) gas chromatography-mass (GC-MS)], polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) chromatography-tandem...
Propolis has been well known for centuries as a natural preventive and therapeutic agent. Its numerous health benefits are mainly attributed to its high content of phenolic compounds that have remarkable antioxidant activity. Since phenolics may exert dual nature (pro-oxidant antioxidant) the aim this study was investigate safety profile ethanolic extract propolis related flavonoid galangin their ability protect lymphocytes from irinotecan-induced cyto/genotoxicity in vitro. Isolated human...
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and isomeric xylenes (BTEX) are by-products of tobacco smoke traffic emissions. The aim this study was to determine the contribution cigarette smoking urinary levels BTEX present in humans. Nicotine cotinine, biomarkers exposure smoke, as well BTEX, were measured urine smokers (n = 70) nonsmokers 65) using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In smokers, a significant correlation found...
Strawberry tree fruits (Arbutus unedo L.) are a natural source of valuable biologically active compounds. Therefore, the aim this work was to develop green extraction approach using pressurized liquid (PLE) provide highest yield bioactive Different solvents (distilled water, 50% and 96% ethanol) different PLE parameters were investigated: temperature (40, 80, 120 °C), static time (5 10 min), number cycles (1 2). Total phenolic contents (TPC), hydroxycinnamic acids (HCA), flavonols (FL),...
The effect of maternal smoking as a source exposure to toxic metals Cd and Pb on superoxide dismutase (SOD) glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, metallothionein (MT), Cd, Pb, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se Zn concentrations were assessed in umbilical cord blood placenta 74 healthy mother-newborn pairs after term delivery. Sparse discriminant analysis (SDA) was used identify elements with the strongest impact SOD, GPx MT measured compartments, which then quantified by multiple regression analysis. SOD...
Abstract A headspace solid‐phase microextraction method (HS‐SPME) followed by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS) has been developed for the determination of low concentrations nicotine in hair. Parameters affecting SPME procedure including type fiber coating, extraction mode, temperature and time, desorption stirring, salt addition have evaluated optimised. The provided good linearity ( r 2 ≥0.9980) over concentration range tested (0.2–20 ng/mg) limit (0.02 ng/mg)....
