Here is some of the most popular content posted on LCGC International this week.

A joint study by the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Reading and Synergy Flavours aimed to identify volatiles that contribute to the aroma of cooked cheese, including the role of fat content in development during cooking.

Although automated peak detection functionalities are available in commercially accessible software, utilizing visual inspection and manual adjustments to achieve optimal true positive rates is often necessary. A recent study conducted by the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (Delhi, India) used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS) to distinguish hetero-variants (glycoforms) resulting in a monoclonal antibody (mAb) able to be characterized, revealing discernible peaks at the intact level. LCGC International spoke to Anurag Rathore, corresponding author for the article, about his department’s findings.

Researchers are pushing the boundaries of traditional column design and improving overall chromatographic performance.

Researchers from the Department of Bioscience and Technology for Food, Agriculture and Environment at the University of Teramo (Italy) used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) investigated the contribution of Kluyveromyces marxianus to the gross composition and aroma profile of cow cheeses.

Scientists from Institut de Combustion, Aérothermique, Réactivité et Environnement (ICARE-CNRS) in Orléans, France and Chromatotec in Saint-Antoine, France recently created a new algorithm for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air.

As part of our ISC 2024 coverage, we recently interviewed Anneli Kruve of Stockholm University about her scientific background and her presentation about eludicating toxic chemicals' structures using LC/HRMS.

Scientists from around the world presented their groundbreaking technologies for in-field chromatography analysis during the International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC) in Liverpool, U.K.

A pilot study conducted by the University of Split School of Medicine (Split, Croatia) used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to measure the urine levels of nicotine and its metabolites in research participants exposed to second-hand smoke in nightclubs.

Regarded as one of the pioneers of the green chemistry movement, John Warner took the stage at the ISC in Liverpool to speak about the pivotal role separation scientists must play in advancing green chemistry.

As part of our ISC 2024 coverage, we recently interviewed Caitlin Cain of the University of Michigan about her scientific background and her thoughts on winning our Rising Stars of Separation Science Award for Gas Chromatography.

As part of our ISC 2024 coverage, we recently interviewed Bram Huygens of Vrije Universiteit Brussel about his scientific background and his thoughts on receiving our Rising Stars of Separation Science Award for Liquid Chromatography.

As part of our ISC 2024 coverage, we recently interviewed Alexandre Goyon of Genentech about his research and his being awarded our Rising Stars of Separation Science Award for Outstanding Achievement in Pharmaceutical Analysis.

As part of our ISC 2024 coverage, we recently interviewed Amarande Murisier of the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland (CHUV) about her winning the Rising Stars of Separation Science Award for Biopharmaceutcal Analysis and her scientific background.

A recent study ascertained metabolic biomarkers and investigated the metabolic alterations associated with aqueous humor (AH) in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Analysis was performed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify and quantify metabolites.
