Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is an important cultivar of the Citrus genus which contains a number of nutrients beneficial to human health. Grapefruit peels are usually thrown away in this part of Nigeria. The research work investigated the bioactive components present in an indigenous citrus peel, grape (Citrus paradisi). Grape fruits were purchased from the fruits garden market in D-Line, Port-Harcourt metropolis and washed with ionized water and allowed to shade dry. The peel of the fruits were separated and subjected to cold extraction using 95% ethanol. The extracts obtained were further extracted in dichloromethane and subjected to GC/MS analysis for characterization of various bioactive components. The gas chromatographic model: 789A (GC) analysis was performed on an agilent technologies interfaced with mass selective detector model: 5975(MSD). The results revealed 25 bioactive components in grape peel with n-Hexadecanoic acid showing the highest concentration of 20.36% and retention time of 18.522min. Nootkatone was the lowest component in the grape peel with concentration 0.74% and retention time of 16.459min. Results shows that grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) has considerable potential as a source of natural bioactive components with different retention times. These fruits residues which otherwise regarded as waste hold promising potentials for medicinal therapy and value added food supplements.

Abstract Enzymatic digestion with beta-glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) was used to release intact oxazepam from urine samples containing the d5-analog internal standard. The resulting specimens were extracted with Du Pont PREP Type W cartridge (processed by a PREP Automated Sample Processor), Bond Elut Certify, and J.T. Baker "spe" columns for comparison of the columns' extraction recovery and overall effectiveness. Methyl iodide/tetrahexylammonium hydrogen sulfate and N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide/trimethylchlorosilane (10 g/L) were used for the methylation and trimethylsilylation studies. We used a Hewlett-Packard HP 5790 mass-selective detector equipped with a 13-m J & W DB-5 column (5% phenyl polysiloxane phase) for gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis and the Thru-Put Target software package for data processing. After several exploratory experiments, we adopted the Du Pont PREP system methylation procedure because of its effective recovery, the superior stability of the derivatization product, the possibility of incorporating a clean-up step, and the potential for high throughput. The extraction recovery from a set of control samples was 87%. Coefficients of variation obtained for six replicates of GC/MS analysis and for the overall procedure were 1% and 3%, respectively. Excellent linearity was established in the 50-8000 micrograms/L concentration range studied. With the use of 3-mL samples, a 20-microL final reconstitution volume, oxazepam at 50 micrograms/L was easily detected under the adopted operation conditions.

World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 80% of the population of developing countries use traditional medicines, mostly natural plant products, for their primary health care needs. In the past few decades, the medicinal value of plants has been assumed more important dimension owing largely to the discovery that extracts from plants contain not only primary metabolites but also a diverse array of secondary metabolites with antioxidant potential. Medicinal plants are potential sources of natural compounds with biological activities and therefore attract the attention of researchers worldwide. Antioxidants are vital substances which possess ability to protect the body from damage due to free radical-induced oxidative stress. The purpose of current study was to determine the antioxidant activities and bioactive components of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) (Samonsabar) seeds by using UV Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Aqueous extract of fennel seeds showed more antioxidant activity (IC50: 0.28 ug/ml) than ethanolic extract (IC50: 0.83 ug/ml) and comparable to standard antioxidant, ascorbic acid (IC50: 0.59 ug/ml). GC-MS analysis was fruitful in identification of compounds based on peak area, retention time, molecular formula, molecular weight, MS Fragmentions and pharmacological actions. Ten bioactive phytochemical compounds from aqueous extracts and 11 from ethanolic extract of fennel seeds were identified. These findings indicated that fennel seeds are potential to provide preventive properties against oxidative damage. These results will give scientific information for quality control of indigenous drug to herbal medicine users and local practitioners using fennel for different types of ailments

Background:Increased consumer demand for curry leaves free from pesticides demands fast and reliable analytical methods for the analysis of pesticide residues.Objective:The optimization of a QuEChERS based sample preparation technique with improved analytical accuracy by removing interfering matrix components for LC-MS/MS analysis of pesticide residues from curry leaves.Methods:A modified QuEChERS solid phase extraction method was developed and validated for the analysis of 26 pesticides in fresh and dried curry leaves. The effects of the sample preparation steps and column retention time on the matrix suppression of analyte ions were also evaluated.Results:Validation parameters were found within an acceptable range. The matrix effect evaluation studies showed that the QuEChERS sample preparation was able to minimize the ion suppression of analytes due to co-eluting matrix of components and that a d-SPE clean up step had major role in reducing matrix effect. The gradient mobile phase with longer retention time for analytes resulted in comparatively lesser matrix effects than the isocratic mobile phase of non-polar nature. Even after the clean up, a considerable number of compounds had more than 20% reduction in their MS response in the gradient mobile phase.Conclusion:This study emphasized the need of proper sample clean up before a LC-MS/MS analysis and the usage of matrix matched standards and mobile phase that ultimately results in an appropriate analyte separation in reasonable retention times.
