Petromyces albertensis produced xylitol and D-xylulose when cultivated on a medium containing D-xylose. These fermentative products were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography. A large amount of xylitol was obtained from a D-xylose medium containing ammonium acetate and yeast extract at an initial pH of 7.0. Maximum production of xylitol and of the enzymes concerned with its production was observed after 10 days of cultivation. A D-xylose (100 g/L) medium supplemented with 1% (v/v) methanol gave the highest yields of xylitol (39.8 g/L) and D-xylulose (2.8 g/L). Key words: Petromyces albertensis, D-xylulose, xylitol.

AbstractMass balance analysis is a highly useful tool for chemical engineering analysis of biological processes. Specifically, composition and amounts of inputs to a cell could be correlated with measurement of metabolic byproducts and outputs for inferring metabolic fluxes flowing through specific cellular metabolic pathways. However, the composition of many common microbiological growth medium remains ill-defined with batch-to-batch variation. Thus, a need exists for developing methods for effective fractionation and separation of common growth medium. Using 5 g/L yeast extract, 10 g/L tryptone, and LB Lennox medium as model systems, this work attempted the fractionation of the three complex growth mixtures using C-18 reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Results revealed no effective fractionation of the three mixtures. More importantly, experiment results indicated that appropriate choice of detection wavelength for visualizing the chromatogram made a huge difference to understanding the effectiveness of fractionation achieved. Specifically, in the case of yeast extract, tryptone and LB Lennox medium, 194 nm may be a more appropriate detection wavelength compared to 280 nm. Collectively, C-18 RP-HPLC was not effective in separating 5 g/L yeast extract, 10 g/L tryptone and LB Lennox medium with hydrophilic mobile phases (ethanol/water mixture).Graphical abstractShort description: Visualization of the reversed phase HPLC chromatogram at 194 nm revealed broad peaks and lack of distinct peaks indicative of fractionation of LB Lennox medium by the chromatography method. More importantly, complex ensemble of different components in the growth medium present a significant separation challenge that precludes separation or fractionation by modern liquid chromatography methods. Overall, combinatorial use of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic mobile phase with a C-18 reversed phase column could reveal the presence of a couple of main fractions in a mixture otherwise unable to be separated into distinct components.

Using the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, bifenthrin isomers can be split at a polysaccharide derivatives chiral stationary phase column, and two well distinguished peaks of bifenthrin isomers are obtained. The effects of mobile phase ratios, temperatures, and detection wavelengths on the separation results are discussed. The optimal chromatographic conditions are as follows: the mobile phase ratio is methanol: ammonium acetate salts = 80:20, the column temperature is 35°C, and the wavelength is set as 220 nm. Under the optimal conditions, the resolution of bifenthrin enantiomer can be as large as 3.0.

ABSTRACTThe Morphology character and andrographolide quantification on Sambiloto (A. Paniculata) that growth in Sawah Dangka Jorong Gaduik, Tilatang Kamang, Agam (S 00o16159.311 E100o23110.311)  have been studied.  The Morphology character  of  A. Paniculata on generative fase  have been done in the field and Laboratorium of Biology Department, Andalas University. Quantification of  andrographolide constituen were analysed by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in Chemical of Nature Resources Laboratorium, Pharmacy Faculty, Andalas University. The result showed that Morphology character of  Sambiloto ( A. Paniculata ) include parameters  ie. range of height plant ( 27-45 cm) ; range of nodus numerous ( 10-14 ); range of leaf-7 size (length; width)  ( 3.8-4.1 ; 0.8-1.1) cm; range of branch numerous ( 8-10), leaf dry weight rate  (2.482 g ), stem dry weight rate  ( 5.882 g ), and day old flowering rate  ( 110 day ). The Result of quantification secondary metabolite with high economic value, namely andrographolide showed respectively with level  2.208% (vegetative) and  2.780 % (generative).  Key Words : Andrographis paniculata, morpology chracter, andrographolide quantification  ABSTRAKTelah dilakukan studi tentang Karakter morfologi dan kuantifikasi senyawa andrografolide pada tanaman Sambiloto (A.

Benzoic acid analysis in curry paste samples were carried out by using high performance liquid chromatography using ultrasonic extraction. Methanol-0.05 M ammonium acetate buffer pH 4.40 in the ratio of 55:45 (%v/v) at a flow rate of 1.00 mL/min was used as the mobile phase and benzoic acid detection was performed at 226 nm using an UV-Visible detector. Under the optimum conditions, linearity of spiked samples ranged from 50 to 3,000 mg/kg. Matrix matched calibrations had determined that benzoic acid contents in southern sour, red, and green curry paste samples were 67.59, 78.62 and 72.33 mg/kg, respectively. Recoveries were obtained from 89.34 to 101.70%, 83.37 to 130.30% and 92.75 to 113.56% with R.S.D. ranged from 2.71 to 6.53%, 4.02 to 11.58% and 5.81 to 6.35%, for southern sour, red, and green curry paste samples, respectively.

A reversed-phase h.p.l.c. system is described for the separation of the four type-III heptacarboxylic porphyrinogen isomers. The effects of buffer concentration, pH and type and proportion of organic modifier in the mobile phase on retention and resolution of isomers were studied. Optimum separation on an ODS-Hypersil column was by elution with a ternary mobile phase of acetonitrile, methanol and 1 M-ammonium acetate, pH 5.16 (7:3:90, by vol.). Isomer identification was based on a comparison of their retention times with those of authentic standards, and was further confirmed by h.p.l.c. analysis of the characteristic mixture of three pentacarboxylic porphyrins formed after partial decarboxylation of individual isomers in 0.3 M-HCl at 160 degrees C.

The relative glucosinolate composition of the florets from field-grown broccoli, determined using high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, varied slightly with growing site and B fertilization, but was cultivar-dependent. Differences among growing sites, in total glucosinolate concentration, were greater than differences between the two cultivars used in the study. Key words: Brassica, broccoli, glucosinolate, nutrition
