Abstract The pattern of organic acids in urine from 15 normal newborn infants was investigated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of trimethylsilylated derivatives. The urine contains large amounts of succinic, fumaric, 2-ketoglutaric, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acids, which are all fairly small components of urine from adults. On the other hand, hippuric acid is a small component in the urine from newborn infants, but a large component later in life. An additional number of differences can be seen. Some previously unrecognized aliphatic dicarboxylic acids were also observed, which are present to some extent in urine from adults.

This study examined the thermal and catalytic pyrolysis of waste Achyranthes Root (AR) using pyrolyzer-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The non-catalytic pyrolysis of waste AR produced various kinds of oxygenates, such as acetic acid, hydroxy propanone, furfural, phenol, cresol, guaiacols, syringols, and so on. By applying nanoporous Al-MCM-41 with acidic properties and mesopores to the pyrolysis of waste AR, the levels of furan and aromatic hydrocarbons production increased with a concomitant decrease in the other oxygenates. The formation efficiency of furans was improved further by increasing the amount of Al-MCM-41 applied to the catalytic pyrolysis of waste AR.

Two gibberellins, one GA1-like, the other GA3-like, were identified in the extracts of roots and tops of 8-,11- and 15-day-old barley seedlings by paper chromatography, paper electrophoresis, thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and bioassay procedures, followed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The amounts of gibberellins in the seedlings ranged from 7 to 11 ng per plant. The concentrations of gibberellins in the seedlings were 32-320 ng/g dry weight and 5-28 ng/g fresh weight; concentrations in the roots were higher than those in the shoots.

Hexanedioic Acid

Abstract Urine from patients with ketoacidosis was found to contain a number of aliphatic 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acids. The acids were purified by silicic acid chromatography and their structures determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of different derivatives. The major compound was 3-hydroxydecanedioic acid. Minor compounds were 3-hydroxyoctanedioic acid, 3-hydroxyoctenedioic acid, 3-hydroxydecenedioic acid, 3-hydroxydodecanedioic acid, 3-hydroxydodecenedioic acid, 3-hydroxytetradecenedioic acid, and 3-hydroxytetradecadienedioic acid. The excretion of 3-hydroxydecanedioic acid correlated positively with the excretion of hexanedioic acid, another metabolite constantly found in ketoacidosis (Pettersen et al., Clin. Chim. Acta 38: 17-24, 1972). We suggest that the 3-hydroxy dicarboxylic acids are formed from fatty acids by a combination of omega-oxidation and incomplete beta-oxidation.

Eclipta Prostrata

The chemical composition of the essential oils from the leaves and stem bark of Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. and the aerial parts of Vernonia amygdalina Delile (Asteraceae) have been analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The investigation led to the identification of 33 and 30 compounds in the oils of the leaves and stem of E. prostrate, respectively, and 40 compounds in the oil of V. amygdalina. While the oil of the leaves of E. prostrata was highly dominated by sesquiterpenoids (89.3%), the stem bark was comprised of sesquiteprenoids (47.7%), straight chain hydrocarbons (25.6%) and monoterpenoids (11.1%). The main constituents of both oils were β-caryophyllene (47.7% and 15.9%) and α-humulene (31.8 and 12.9%) in the leaves and stem, respectively. In addition, ( E)-β-farnesene (10.0%) was also identified in significant amount in the stem bark. On the other hand, the major component of V. amygdalina oil was α-muurolol (45.7%).

Positive Results

Seventy-one (71) food samples were analyzed for the mycotoxin fumonisin by a monoclonal antibody based competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Fumonisins were detected primarily in corn-based products with 7/12, 2/2 and 1/3 and 1/7 yellow cornmeal, blue cornmeal, corn muffin mix, and mixed grain cereal samples yielding positive results, respectively. When the positive samples and randomly selected negative samples were assessed by other methods, correlations (r values) between ELISA and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), ELISA and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and GC-MS and HPLC were 0.478 (p < 0.05), 0.512 (p < 0.05), and 0.946 (p < 0.01), respectively. The results suggested that although the immunoassay could be used for screening of fumonisin in food samples, higher estimates were attained by ELISA than by the other two methods particularly in the more contaminated samples. These observations may result from differences in sample preparation among the methods or because of the presence of structurally related compounds in extracts that are detectable by ELISA but not the other two methods.

Gas—liquid chromatography and gas chromatography—mass spectrometry have been used to study the pattern of sterols in meconium and faeces from newborn infants. Meconium contained metabolites from various steps in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, e. g. lanosterol, 24, 25-dihydro-∆ 8 -lanosterol, 24, 25-dihydro-∆ 9 -lanosterol, 4 α ,14 α -dimethyl-5 α -cholest-7 (and 8)-en-3 β -ol, 4, 4-dimethyl-5 α -cholest-8-en-3 β -ol, 4, 4-dimethyl-5 α -cholesta-8, 14-dien-3 β -ol and ∆ 7 - and ∆ 8 -methostenol. Meconium and faeces from newborns also contained the sulphate esters of 20, 22-dihydroxycholesterol and of 22-, 23- and 24-hydroxycholesterol.
