Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, more and more different chromatographic approaches with a variety of sample preparation procedures, extraction and detection techniques are used for the isolation, separation, identification and quantification of unknown and known organic compounds from a wide range of natural samples (plant samples, environmental samples such as water or soil samples, etc.). Both extraction techniques and chromatography systems have improved dramatically over the past 30 years.  Equipment has evolved from complex, expensive, and sophisticated research instruments to inexpensive, robust, and easy-to-use routine systems. And as the instruments have improved, more applications have been developed. Today, chromatography is a very useful technique for the analysis of various organic molecules and, when combined with appropriate detectors, offers higher sensitivity and selectivity for trace analysis of multicomponent mixtures. The method is suitable for analysis in biomedical, pharmaceutical, environmental chemistry and some other fields. Various chromatographic techniques are suitable for the analysis of different molecules, large and small, polar and nonpolar, labile compounds, etc. Selective detection methods (such as mass spectrometry) allow rapid confirmation of the identity of a wide range of volatile and nonvolatile organic compounds and provide sensitive and accurate molecular weight and fragmentation data. For this special issue, researchers are invited to submit original work on new or improved extraction techniques and analytical methods that use chromatographic methods for the separation and determination of unknown and known organic compounds from various natural matrices, and also to discuss the potential of newly applied methods.

Objective: To analyze and compare the concentrations and dietary intake of different fatty acids (FAs) in deep-fried dough sticks (Chinese fried bread) across various cities in China. Method: Sixty-one deep-fried dough stick samples were collected from five cities (Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Hangzhou), and the contents of FA monomers were determined using gas chromatography. Moreover, the dietary FA intake was estimated. Results: The mean FA concentration was 18.83 g/100 g (maximum, 41.59 g/100 g; minimum, 4.88 g/100 g). Polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) accounted for the highest proportion of the total FAs at 41.7% (7.86 g/100 g), followed by monounsaturated FAs (MUFAs) at 30.77% (5.79 g/100 g), saturated FAs (SFAs) at 26.27% (4.95 g/100 g), and trans-FAs (TFAs) at 1.18% (0.22 g/100 g). The Guangzhou deep-fried dough stick samples had a significantly different FA composition than those from the other cities, presenting with the highest concentration of SFAs (8.64 ± 4.74 g/100 g) and lowest concentration of PUFAs (5.01 ± 3.41 g/100 g). Beijing had the highest intake of PUFAs and MUFAs, whereas Guangzhou had the highest intake of SFAs. Conclusion: The contents and intake of saturated and unsaturated FAs in deep-fried dough sticks varied across the five cities in China. These results are useful for comparing the nutritional characteristics of deep-fried dough sticks in the different cities of China, thereby promoting further research on the relationship between deep-fried dough stick consumption and human health.

Oncheong-eum (OCE) is a traditional Korean herbal formula comprising eight medicinal herbs for treating skin disorders, including eczema and skin rashes. Here, we sought to simultaneously analyze 22 analytes of OCE using ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS). All analytes were separated on a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) maintained at 45 °C by gradient elution with a mobile phase of 0.1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid–acetonitrile. By applying a multiple reaction monitoring method, we rapidly determined the various analytes simultaneously. The coefficient of determination of the regression equation prepared in the tested concentration range of each authentic reference standard was ≥0.9950 and showed good linearity. The accuracy ranged from 84.23% to 115.47%, and the relative standard deviation values for intra- and interday precisions ranged from 0.84% to 9.57%, respectively. Analysis of OCE samples using this method showed that they contained up to 27.10 mg/g of active ingredients. The method can provide data to improve the consistency and, thus, the future quality of OCE preparations and other traditional herbal formulas. Full article
