This study focuses on developing a quantification method for phosphatidylcholine (PC) and total phospholipid (PL) in krill oil using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Signals derived from the choline and phosphate groups were selected as indicator variables for determining PC and total PL content; calibration curves with a correlation coefficient of >0.988 were constructed with calibration samples prepared by mixing krill oil raw material and fish oil in different ratios. The limit of detection (LOD, 0.35–3.29%) of the method was suitable for the designed assay with good accuracy (97.90–100.33%). The relative standard deviations for repeatability (0.90–2.31%) were acceptable. Therefore, both the methods using absorbance and that using second-derivative were confirmed to be suitable for quantitative analysis. When applying this method to test samples, including supplements, the PC content and total PL content were in good agreement with an average difference of 2–3% compared to the 31P NMR method. These results confirmed that the FT-IR method can be used as a convenient and rapid alternative to the 31P NMR method for quantifying PLs in krill oil.

A new flow-through Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) sensor for oil in water analysis based on solid-phase spectroscopy on octadecyl (C18) silica particles has been developed. The C18 non-polar sorbent is placed inside the sensor and is able to retain hydrocarbons from water samples. The system does not require the use of chlorinated solvents, reducing the environmental impact, and the minimal sample handling stages serve to ensure sample integrity whilst reducing exposure of the analyst to any toxic hydrocarbons present within the samples. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were recorded by co-adding 32 scans at a resolution of 4 cm−1 and the band located at 1462 cm−1 due to the CH2 bending was integrated from 1475 to 1450 cm−1 using a baseline correction established between 1485 and 1440 cm−1 using the areas as analytical signal. The technique, which provides a limit of detection (LOD) of 22 mg L−1 and a precision expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) lower than 5%, is considerably rapid and allows for a high level of automation.

Abstract A simple method was optimized and validated for determination of ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) in raw material and feed additives by HPLC for use in quality control in veterinary industries. The best-optimized conditions were a C8 column (250 4.6 mm id, 5.0 m particle size) at room temperature with acetonitrile100 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0; 75 + 25, v/v) mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 275 nm. With these conditions, the retention time of RAC was around 5.2 min, and standard curves were linear in the concentration range of 160240 g/mL (correlation coefficient 0.999). Validation parameters, such as selectivity, linearity, limit of detection (ranged from 1.60 to 2.05 g/mL), limit of quantification (ranged from 4.26 to 6.84 g/mL), precision (relative standard deviation 1.87), accuracy (ranged from 96.97 to 100.54), and robustness, gave results within acceptable ranges. Therefore, the developed method can be successfully applied for the routine quality control analysis of raw material and feed additives.

A new, simple, rapid and precise novel hyphenated diffuse reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRS-FTIR) technique for the simultaneous determination of the most frequently used cationic surfactants (CS+) i.e. cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and anionic surfactant (AS-) i.e. sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in domestic, sewage and river wastewater samples has been stabilised. CS+ and AS- were analyzed using DRS-FTIR, the most steady and strongest vibrational IR peak at 2917.13 cm-1 for CTAB and 1226.07 for SDS were selected for the simultaneous quantiflcation of CS+ and AS- under the optimized condition such as effect of samples volume and effect of temperature. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantiflcation (LOQ) of the present method were 5 µg/mL and 15 µg/mL, respectively. The absorbance and peak area were determined by the DRS-FTIR method, which shows excellent linearity with a correlation coefflcient value of 0.985 and 0.981 for the concentration range of 10-100 µg/mL. The standard deviation (SD) and relative standard deviation (RSD) for six replicate measurements were found to be 0.052 µg/L and 2.8 %, respectively.

Metamizole is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) that functions as an analgesic, antipyretic, and antiinflammatory. Examination of active substance contents is a requirement that must be met to ensure the quality of drug preparations. The aims of this study were to develop and validate the Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometric method for the quantitation of metamizole content in marketed tablet preparation. Identification and determination of metamizole contents by Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometric method used methanol solvent in the wavenumber range 4000 cm–1 to 650 cm–1. The results showed that the specific wavenumbers of metamizole were 1649.3 cm–1; 1623.3 cm–1; and 1589.7 cm–1; and the contents metamizole in marketed tablet preparation ranged from (97.954 ± 0.121)% to (104.541 ± 0.257)%. From the validation method, the recovery result is 100.129%; the relative standard deviation is 0.057%; the limit of detection is 2.09526 mg/mL; the limit of quantitation is 6.34928 mg/mL; and the range 40 mg/mL to 60 mg/mL. The quantitation of metamizole contents can be carried out by Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometric method with accurate and precise quantitation results.

The IRμs™ is the first fully integrated system for Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscopy. FT-IR microscopy combines light microscopy for morphological examination with infrared spectroscopy for chemical identification of microscopic samples or domains. Because the IRμs system is a new tool for molecular microanalysis, its optical, mechanical and system design are described to illustrate the state of development of molecular microanalysis. Applications of infrared microspectroscopy are reviewed by Messerschmidt and Harthcock.Infrared spectral analysis of microscopic samples is not a new idea, it dates back to 1949, with the first commercial instrument being offered by Perkin-Elmer Co. Inc. in 1953. These early efforts showed promise but failed the test of practically. It was not until the advances in computer science were applied did infrared microspectroscopy emerge as a useful technique. Microscopes designed as accessories for Fourier transform infrared spectrometers have been commercially available since 1983. These accessory microscopes provide the best means for analytical spectroscopists to analyze microscopic samples, while not interfering with the FT-IR spectrometer’s normal functions.

AbstractThe development of detecting residual level of abamectin B1 in apples is of great importance to public health. Herein, we synthesized a octopus-like azobenzene fluorescent probe 1,3,5-tris (5′-[(E)-(p-phenoxyazo) diazenyl)] benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) benzene (TPB) for preliminary detection of abamectin B1 in apples. The TPB molecule has been characterized by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectrometry, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance, fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) and fluorescent spectra. A proper determination condition was optimized, with limit of detection and limit of quantification of 1.3 µg L−1 and 4.4 μg L−1, respectively. The mechanism of this probe to identify abamectin B1 was illustrated in terms of undergoing aromatic nucleophilic substitution, by comparing fluorescence changes, FT-IR and ESI-MS. Furthermore, a facile quantitative detection of the residual abamectin B1 in apples was achieved. Good reproducibility was present based on relative standard deviation of 2.2%. Six carboxyl recognition sites, three azo groups and unique fluorescence signal towards abamectin B1 of this fluorescent probe demonstrated reasonable sensitivity, specificity and selectivity. The results indicate that the octopus-like azobenzene fluorescent probe can be expected to be reliable for evaluating abamectin B1 in agricultural foods.
