| gas analysis by gas chromatography: Principles and Applications of Gas Chromatography in Food Analysis Michael H. Gordon, 2013-03-08 The food analyst plays an important role in modern society. Stricter control over additives in food and concern about the effects of contamination of food by industrial and agricultural chemicals are among the developments which are leading to an increasing emphasis on detailed and accurate analysis of food. However. analysis of food is required for many reasons, including detection of toxic components, monitoring legislation, detecting adulteration, formulation of controlled diets, controlling formulation during product development and detecting changes in food during storage and processing. Foods comprise a complex mixture of components and food analysis requires efficient methods of separation with high sensitivity or specificity of detection. Although many food components are involatile or thermally labile and therefore not suitable for analysis by gas chromatography, other components are volatile and this technique is the preferred analytical method. Developments in methods of derivati zation, injector design and column technology have also extended the applicability of gas chromatography to the analysis of relatively involatile compounds. |

| gas analysis by gas chromatography: Lipid Oxidation Edwin N. Frankel, 2014-01-23 In this second edition, Edwin Frankel has updated and extended his now well-known book Lipid oxidation which has come to be regarded as the standard work on the subject since the publication of the first edition seven years previously. His main objective is to develop the background necessary for a better understanding of what factors should be considered, and what methods and lipid systems should be employed, to achieve suitable evaluation and control of lipid oxidation in complex foods and biological systems. The oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is one of the most fundamental reactions in lipid chemistry. When unsaturated lipids are exposed to air, the complex, volatile oxidation compounds that are formed cause rancidity. This decreases the quality of foods that contain natural lipid components as well as foods in which oils are used as ingredients. Furthermore, products of lipid oxidation have been implicated in many vital biological reactions, and evidence has accumulated to show that free radicals and reactive oxygen species participate in tissue injuries and in degenerative disease. Although there have been many significant advances in this challenging field, many important problems remain unsolved. This second edition of Lipid oxidation follows the example of the first edition in offering a summary of the many unsolved problems that need further research. The need to understand lipid oxidation is greater than ever with the increased interest in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, the reformulation of oils to avoid hydrogenation and trans fatty acids, and the enormous attention given to natural phenolic antioxidants, including flavonoids and other phytochemicals. |

| gas analysis by gas chromatography: Gas Chromatographic Environmental Analysis Fabrizio Bruner, 1993-09-06 Gas Chromatographic Environmental Analysis ist die erste wirklich komplette, aktuelle und einheitliche Darstellung der analytischen Techniken der Umweltchemie in Buchform. Das Buch beschreibt die Grundlagen der Gaschromatographie in der Umweltuntersuchung. Nach einer Einführung in die Gaschromatographie und einer kritischen Bewertung der verschiedenen Säulentypen beschreibt der Autor sorgfältig die notwendige Meßapparatur. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Einspritzung sowie den Nachweis- und Kalibrierungssystemen. Ein Akzent liegt auf der Spurenanalytik, die wichtig ist z.B. für die Erkennung von Fluorkohlenwasserstoffen in der Atmosphäre. Daneben werden auch andere Techniken wie HPLC und Massenspektrometrie vorgestellt, um so ein vollständiges Bild der Umweltanalytik von heute und morgen zu geben. Da das Buch für Chemiker und analytische Chemiker sowohl in Forschung als auch Industrie, für Verfahrenstechniker, Umweltbiologen und -geologen geschrieben ist, beschäftigt sich Gas Chromatographic Environmental Analysis besonders mit den Methoden, die in den USA und anderen hochindustrialisierten Staaten eingeführt sind. Damit ist es eine willkommene Bereicherung für die Bibliotheken von chemischen Betrieben, Verwaltungen, Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen. |
| gas analysis by gas chromatography: Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry Diane C Turner, Mathias Schäfer, Steven Lancaster, Imran Janmohamed, Anthony Gachanja, Jason Creasey, 2019-11-28 Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful way to analyse a range of substances. It is used in everything from food safety to medicine. It has even been used to protect endangered vultures through analysis of poisonous pesticide molecules in their environment! I want to apply this technique, where do I begin? Is GC-MS is the right technique to use? How do I prepare my samples and calibrate the instruments? This textbook has the answers to all these questions and more. Throughout the book, case studies illustrate the practical process, the techniques used and any common challenges. Newcomers can easily search for answers to their question and find clear advice with coloured images on how to get started and all subsequent steps involved in using GC-MS as part of a research process. Readers will find information on collecting and preparing samples, designing and validating methods, analysing results, and troubleshooting. Examples of pollutant, food, oil and fragrance analysis bring the theory to life. The authors use their extensive experience teaching GC-MS theory and practice and draw on their combined backgrounds applying the technique in academic and industry settings to bring this practical reference together. The authors also design and teach the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Pan Africa Chemistry Network GC-MS course, which is supported by GSK. |
