Comparison of Soxhlet and Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE) for Leachable and Extractable Analysis of Packing Material

Research conducted at the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) investigated the relationship between chemical composition and consumer liking, using Vivino ratings as quality endpoints.

In episode #37 of Analytically Speaking, podcast host Dr. Jerry Workman speaks with Dr. Austin Daniels, application scientist for Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies, about flow imaging microscopy (FIM), a new technology for sub-visible particle characterization in biologics.

Researchers at the University of Caldas (Manizales, Caldas, Columbia) investigated the volatile organic compounds comprising the volatilome of Hass avocado peel, pulp, and seed grown in the northern Caldas (as well as avocados purchased from commercial sources), employing headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) for their extraction and identification.

Researchers from the University of Campinas (Campinas, Brazil) and the Waters Research Center (Budapest, Hungary) introduced a rapid, automated method using laser-assisted rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) with high-resolution mass spectrometry to fingerprint coffee samples and predict sensory properties. LCGC International spoke to Leandro Wang Hantao of the University of Campinas regarding their work and the paper that resulted from it.

This week, LCGC International published a variety of articles on hot topics in separation science. Several analytical techniques were covered in these articles, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–MS (LC–MS).
