Analysis of natural product remain challenging issues for analytical chemist, since natural products are complicated system of mixture. The most popular methods of choice used for quality control of raw material and finished product are high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS). The utilization of FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflectance) method in natural product analysis is still limited. This study attempts to expand the use of FTIR spectroscopy in authenticating Indonesian coffee powder.The coffee samples studied were taken from nine regions in Indonesia, namely Aceh Gayo, Flores, Kintamani, Mandheling, Papua, Sidikalang, Toraja, Kerinci and Lampung.The samples in the form of coffee bean from various regions were powdered . The next step conducted was to determine the spectrum using the FTIR-ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) using ZnSe crystal of 8000 resolution. Spectrum samples, then, were analyzed using chemometrics. The utilized chemometric model was the principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). Based on the chemometric analysis, there are similarities between Aceh Gayo coffee with Toraja coffee, Mandailing coffee, Kintamani coffee and Flores coffee. Sidikalang coffee has a similarity to Flores coffee; Papua coffee has a similarity to Sidikalang coffee; Lampung coffee has a similarity to Sidikalang coffee, while Kerinci coffee has a similarity to Papua coffee.

Natural Honey

The photoluminescence of carbon quantum dots synthesized from natural honey and mixtures of honey and sugar has been studied. An increase in the sugar content leads to a decrease in the photoluminescence intensity without changing the shape of the luminescence spectrum of these quantum dots aqueous solutions, which is associated with a decrease in the yield of their synthesis in the sugar presence. The discovered effect can be used to detect sugar in honey. When examining five different market samples of flower honey using this method, two of them showed a significant decrease in the photoluminescence intensity. A laboratory test for compliance with GOST 19792-2017 Standard requirements established an excess of the sucrose content in these samples. Luminescent determination of sugar in honey does not require complicated equipment and can be used to develop a new analytical method for determining the sugar content in counterfeit natural honey.

AbstractA total of 568 new simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based markers for barley have been developed from a combination of database sequences and small insert genomic libraries enriched for a range of short simple sequence repeats. Analysis of the SSRs on 16 barley cultivars revealed variable levels of informativeness but no obvious correlation was found with SSR repeat length, motif type, or map position. Of the 568 SSRs developed, 242 were genetically mapped, 216 with 37 previously published SSRs in a single doubled-haploid population derived from the F1 of an interspecific cross between the cultivar Lina and Hordeum spontaneum Canada Park and 26 SSRs in two other mapping populations. A total of 27 SSRs amplified multiple loci. Centromeric clustering of markers was observed in the main mapping population; however, the clustering severity was reduced in intraspecific crosses, supporting the notion that the observed marker distribution was largely a genetical effect. The mapped SSRs provide a framework for rapidly assigning chromosomal designations and polarity in future mapping programs in barley and a convenient alternative to RFLP for aligning information derived from different populations. A list of the 242 primer pairs that amplify mapped SSRs from total barley genomic DNA is presented.

Abstract In this paper, we report on electron microscopy studies of single crystals of the natural mineral lorándite, TlAsS2. The main focus of this investigation was to address the question as to whether those lorándite crystals are chemically and structurally homogeneous, in order to be utilized as an effective neutrino detector within the lorándite experiment (LOREX) project. Apart from few secondary minerals, being present only at the surface of the lorándite samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated homogeneous crystals. Similarly, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging revealed a homogenous and undisturbed crystal structure, with the only exception of local coffee-bean contrasts; however, rarely observed. These specific contrast variations are known to be a typical strain indicator caused by a local deformation of the crystal lattice. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) in conjunction with electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) did not show any significant chemical difference when analysing regions on or off those coffee-bean features, indicating a chemically homogenous mineral. Since the presence of lattice disturbing secondary phase precipitates could be excluded by imaging and complementary chemical analysis, crystal defects such as dislocations and stacking faults or minor fluid inclusions are discussed as the probable origin of this local elastic strain. The experimental results confirm that the studied lorándite single crystals fulfil all structural and chemical requirements to be employed as the natural mineral that allows to determine solar neutrino fluxes. In addition, critical issues regarding the rather challenging sample preparation of lorándite are reported and a quantification of the maximum tolerable electron dose in the TEM is presented, since lorándite was found to be sensitive with respect to electron beam irradiation. Furthermore, the limits of EDS measurements due to peak overlapping are shown and discussed utilizing the case of Pb in lorándite. In this regard, a comparison with the Tl- and Pb-containing natural mineral hutchinsonite, TlPbAs5S9, is also included.

Abstract Interspecific cross is a powerful means to uncover hidden within- and between-species variation in populations. One example is a bristle loss phenotype of hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, although both the pure species have exactly the same pattern of bristle formation on the notum. There exists a large amount of genetic variability in the simulans populations with respect to the number of missing bristles in hybrids, and the variation is largely attributable to simulans X chromosomes. Using nine molecular markers, I screened the simulans X chromosome for genetic factors that were responsible for the differences between a pair of simulans lines with high (H) and low (L) missing bristle numbers. Together with duplication-rescue experiments, a single major quantitative locus was mapped to a 13F–14F region. Importantly, this region accounted for most of the differences between H and L lines in three other independent pairs, suggesting segregation of H and L alleles at the single locus in different populations. Moreover, a deficiency screening uncovered several regions with factors that potentially cause the hybrid bristle loss due to epistatic interactions with the other factors.
