Water pollution management is an important process that faces difficulty with handling microplastics. University of Porto (Portugal) researchers aimed to optimize existing methods to help rectify this issue.
Oxygen heterocyclic compounds are notable components in citrus-scented creams, though quality control is important when using these compounds. Researchers recently created a workflow for extracting these substances using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) for microwave-assisted extraction (MAE).
Shimadzu researchers aimed to develop a more efficient supercritical fluid chromatography method for solid-state injection and streamlining sample pretreatment.
