Volatile compounds play vital roles in food sensory attributes and food quality. An analysis of volatile compounds could illustrate the sensory attributes at the microscale level. Here, untargeted profiling approaches for volatiles in five most-consumed meat species were established using headspace SPME-GC/high resolution Orbitrap MS. An extended high-resolution database of meat volatile compounds was established to enhance the qualification accuracy. Using sulfur-containing compounds, aldehydes, and ketones as the research model, the parameters including fiber coating types, extraction temperature, extraction time, and desorbing time were optimized. Principle component analysis, volcano analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis were applied to run the classification and the selection of discriminant markers between meat varieties, respectively. Different varieties could be largely distinguished according to the volatiles’ profiles. 1-Octen-3-ol, 1-octen-3-one, 2-pentyl furan and some other furans degraded from n-6 fatty acids would contribute to distinguishing duck meat from other categories, while methyl esters mainly from oleic acid as well as dimethyl sulfoxide and carbon disulfide possibly produced from the sulfur-containing amino acids contributed to the discrimination of beef. Therefore, volatiles’ profiling not only could interpret the aroma style in meat but also could be another promising method for meat differentiation and authentication.Keywords:differentiation;GC-HRMS;SPME;statistical analysis;untargeted profiling;volatiles

Flame aerosol synthesis (FAS) is an excellent strategy for continuous, fast, and mass production of small-size upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which have high potential applications in fields like biological imaging, colour display and optical temperature sensing. However, flame-made UCNPs have received less attention, and relevant studies are limited. Herein, for the first time, we successfully fabricated cerium (Ce)-doped homogeneous ultrasmall Y 2 O 3 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ UCNPs using a liquid-fed FAS method. Ce was doped to improve the upconversion luminescence (UCL) of the Y 2 O 3 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ UCNPs. The overall UCL intensity was enhanced ∼77.9-fold for an optimal concentration of 20 mol% Ce-doped UCNPs, compared with the UCNPs without Ce doping with a relatively homogeneous ultrasmall size of 8–10 nm. Further studies confirmed that both trivalent (Ce 3+ ) and tetravalent (Ce 4+ ) simultaneously exist in the Y 2 O 3 hosts and are critical in enhancing the UCL properties. In addition, the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) method was used to evaluate the thermal properties of the fabricated UCNPs. Ce doping significantly improved the thermal sensitivity of Y 2 O 3 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ UCNPs. An excellent relative sensitivity ( S R ) of 0.622% K −1 at 598 K was obtained for flame-made UCNPs doped with 20 mol% Ce.

Flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) is a potential strategy to scale-up the fabrication of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) from the laboratory to industrial-scale production. The traditional FSP method involves the addition of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) to the precursors to obtain pure homogeneous ultrafine nanoparticles. However, there is still a lack of investigation into how the physical and optical properties are affected by 2-EHA. Here, for the first time, we report the role of 2-EHA in manipulating the morphology, size, and upconversion (UC) properties of Yb3+/Ho3+ co-doped Y2O3 UCNPs. The Y2O3:Yb3+/Ho3+ UCNPs were synthesized by adjusting the molar ratios of 2-EHA to trivalent rare earth ions (RE3+) in the precursor solution via the FSP method. The influence on the morphology and upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties of the UCNPs by 2-EHA was studied in detail. As the ratio of 2-EHA to RE3+ (2-EHA/RE3+) in the precursors increases from 0 to 3, the synthesized UCNPs initially form a mixture of large hollow particles and homogeneous ultrafine nanoparticles at low ratios and then uniform ultrafine nanoparticles at relatively high ratios. The typical green (550 nm) and red (667 nm) UCL reduce as the 2-EHA/RE3+ ratio increases. Moreover, the effect of 2-EHA on the temperature sensing behavior of the Y2O3:Yb3+/Ho3+ UCNPs was evaluated via the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) method based on the non-thermally coupled 5F4/5S2 and 5F5 levels of Ho3+ ions. The highest absolute sensitivity (SA) and relative sensitivity (SR) of 6.259% and 0.483% K−1 at 323 K, respectively, were determined and the sensitivity dependence on the 2-EHA/RE3+ ratio of the UCNPs was comparatively estimated.

This work presents the investigation of two new pentiptycene (PP)-functionalized triblock copolymers (PEPE1, PEPE2) for gas chromatographic (GC) analyses with an aim to address the separation problems toward analytes of high resemblance in properties and a wide variety of components in complex samples. Up to date, these two materials are not reported in any fields. The PEPE1 and PEPE2 columns showed close column efficiency (above 4000 plates/m) but differed in polarity, morphology and separation performance. As testified by the challenging Grob test mixture, the PEPE1 column exhibited comprehensively higher separation capability than the PEPE2 column and the commercial reference columns. Also, the PEPE1 column achieved high-resolution performance for both apolar and polar isomers of high resemblance, such as xylenes, phenols and anilines. Moreover, it displayed high inertness towards carboxylic acids and excellent separation repeatability and reproducibility tested by the aniline isomers with the RSD values in the range of 0.01–0.04% for run-to-run, 0.09–0.13% for day-to-day and 1.2–2.0% for column-to-column, respectively. Its application to GC–MS analysis of the essential oil from tea flowers demonstrated its advantageous separation performance towards a wide range of components and proved its feasibility for practical analyses of complex samples.

Trace Co 2+ , when present in large quantities, is harmful to the environment and therefore cannot be ignored. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a standard method used to detect metal ions , however, detecting trace Co 2+ under high saline conditions can be challenging. Similarly, existing Co 2+ treatment methods are prone to secondary pollution and have high energy consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to find an efficient and non-polluting method for Co 2+ detection and treatment. This study successfully synthesized nitrogen-rich carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) based on natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) using a one-step solvothermal method. The prepared N-CQDs exhibited excellent fluorescence and high salt tolerance. The simultaneous detection and treatment of trace Co 2+ in water under high salinity conditions were achieved for the first time. The response of the N-CQDs to Co 2+ under saline condition was linear in the range of 5–250 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.2269 μM. Feasibility of practical application was assessed by quantitative detection of Co 2+ in real water samples. Furthermore, the N-CQDs can treat Co 2+ , and the removal rate was 99.98%.

Development of energy-efficient lubricants is a way to reduce energy consumption for transportation, with the tendency to design molecules that are beneficial in reducing the viscosity of synthetic oils. Oligoether esters (OEEs), as a low-viscosity ester base oil, have characteristics such as simple synthesis and excellent lubrication effect, however, the application of OEEs in tribology field has rarely been investigated. The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of structure on the lubricating performance of OEEs and to develop a predictive model for OEEs based on quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) through a combination of experiment and statistical modeling. Results showed that glycol chains contribute positively to lubrication with the ether functional groups increasing the sites of adsorption. Compared to branched-chain OEEs, straight-chain OEEs exhibited reduced wear, which was mainly due to the thicker adsorption film formed by the straight-chain structure. Furthermore, carbon films were detected on lightly worn surfaces, indicating that OEEs underwent oxidation during the friction process. Based on the results of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS), it could be found that the predictive models of viscosity–temperature performance, thermal stability performance, coefficient of friction (COF), and wear volume (WV) performed well and robustly. Among them, COF and WV can be best predicted with an R 2 of about 0.90.

In this work, a metal–organic framework MIL-68(In)–NH2 incorporated high internal phase emulsion polymeric monolith (MIL-68(In)–NH2/polyHIPE) was prepared and applied as a solid phase extraction adsorbent for the extraction and detection of trace triazine herbicides in environmental water samples by coupling with HPLC-UV detection. The fabricated material showed good adsorption for simazine, prometryn, and prometon in water samples because of π–π interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions. Under optimal conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of simazine, prometon and prometryn was 800 μg g−1, 800 μg g−1 and 6.01 mg g−1, respectively. The linearities were 10–800 ng mL−1 for simazine, prometon and prometryn. The limits of detection were 31–97 ng L−1, and the recoveries were 85.6–118.2% at four spiked levels with relative standard deviations lower than 5.0%. The method has a high sensitivity for the determination of three triazine herbicides in environmental water samples.

High viscosity ester base oil, as an eco-friendly lubricant base oil with high performance, can significantly reduce the friction, wear, and energy consumption of large machinery. However, there is less research on the preparation of heterogeneous catalysts for synthesis of high viscosity ester oil. In this work, Sn/Zr mixed oxide catalysts were prepared for the green synthesis of ester base oil with high viscosity. This approach gets rid of additional template, surfactant, organic solvent, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, and halogen, thereby avoiding the potential environmental pollution. A superior powdered catalyst MO-Sn 8 Zr-9.0-160-18 was developed with optimized Sn/Zr molar ratio, pH, hydrothermal temperature, and hydrothermal time of 8:1, 9.0, 160 °C, and 18 h, respectively. Results of catalyst characterization indicated that the developed catalysts were mesoporous materials with hydrophobic properties, allowing for free diffusion of macromolecules, adsorption of reactants, and desorption of water. Additionally, the specific surface area, pore volume, pore diameter, and surface hydrophobicity of catalyst were enhanced by doping Zr, so the catalysts with higher [Sn/Zr] ICP /[Sn/Zr] XPS exhibited better catalytic activity. Preformed catalyst was prepared by simple mechanical mixing method to achieve better catalyst separation. The specific surface area, acid amount, and acid strength of catalyst were indeed improved significantly after catalyst molding. By programmed heating, the preformed catalyst achieved a maximum carboxyl conversion of 97.2%. Moreover, spent catalyst could be reactivated via solvent washing, drying, calcination, and hydrogen reduction, exhibiting good reusability.

This work presents a novel column fabrication approach for capillary gas chromatography (CGC) through the condensation reaction of a hydroxyl-terminated polymer with a cross-linker inside a capillary column. In this work, polypropylene glycol (PPG 4000) and tris[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]isocyanurate (ICS) were employed to fabricate the PPG-gel capillary column for GC analyses. Inside the column, a 3D cross-linked organogel network forms on the capillary inner surface by condensation of PPG 4000 with ICS under the given mild conditions. As a result, the PPG-gel column exhibited moderate polarity and showed distinctly advantageous resolving performance and inertness for carboxylic acids over the PPG column by the conventional static coating method. Also, it achieved high-resolution separations of the isomer mixtures of alkanes, alkylbenzenes and halobenzenes. Moreover, the PPG-gel column exhibited dramatically improved solvent stability because of its cross-linked organogel network. The organogel column displayed excellent column repeatability and reproducibility with the RSD% values in the range of 0.01–0.04% for run-to-run, 0.71–0.84% for day-to-day and 2.4–3.1% for column-to-column. The proposed organogel approach is facile and applicable to other analogous materials and has a promising future for wide applications.

Here we report the first example of employing p- nitro-octadecyloxy-calix[8]arene (C8A-NO 2 ) as stationary phase for capillary gas chromatographic (GC) separations. The statically coated C8A-NO 2 column provided column efficiencies of 2554 plates/m and showed moderate polarity. Its selectivity and retention behaviour were investigated by a number of mixtures of diverse analytes and their isomers. It was found that the C8A-NO 2 column exhibited high resolving capability for aliphatic and aromatic analytes from apolar to polar nature, especially for positional and structural isomers. Among them, advantageous resolving capability over the commercial polysiloxane DB-1701 and DB-17 columns was obtained for chloroaniline and bromoaniline isomers. In addition, the C8A-NO 2 column was applied for the determination of isomer impurities in commercial reagents of geraniol, cis -decahydronaphthalene, and trans -decahydronaphthalene.

High-efficiency photoluminescence quaternary hexagon Zn–Cu–In–S (ZCIS) nanoplatelets (NPls) have been synthesized by a two-step cation exchange method, which starts with the In2S3 NPls followed by the addition of Cu and Zn. It is the first time that In2S3 NPls are used as templates to synthesize ZCIS NPls. In this paper, the reaction temperature of In2S3 is essential for the formation of NPls. The photoluminescence wavelength of NPls can be tuned by adjusting the temperature of Cu addition. To enhance the stability of the resulting NPls and to improve their optical properties, we introduced Zn2+ and obtained ZCIS NPls by cation exchange on the surface. It is worth noting that the obtained ZCIS NPls show a shorter fluorescence lifetime than other ternary copper sulfide-based NPls. This work provides a new way to synthesize high-efficiency, nontoxic, and no byproduct ZCIS NPls.

The mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases are not fully understood yet. However, an increasing amount of evidence has suggested that these disorders are related to oxidative stress. We reported herein that lipoamide (LM), a neutral amide derivative of lipoic acid (LA), could resist oxidative stress-mediated neuronal cell damage. LM is more potent than LA in alleviating hydrogen peroxide- or 6-hydroxydopamine-induced PC12 cell injury. Our results reveal that LM promotes the nuclear accumulation of NFE2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), following with the activation of expression of Nrf2-governed antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. Notably, silencing Nrf2 gene annuls the protection of LM, which demonstrates that Nrf2 is engaged in this cytoprotection. Our findings suggest that LM might be used as a potential therapeutic candidate for oxidative stress-related neurological disorders.
