Volatile sulfur compounds in tropical fruits
Publication date: April 2018Source: Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, Volume 26, Issue 2Author(s): Robert J. Cannon, Chi-Tang HoAbstractGlobal production and demand for tropical fruits continues to grow each year as consumers are enticed by the exotic flavors and potential health benefits that these fruits possess. Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are often responsible for the juicy, fresh aroma of tropical fruits. This poses a challenge for analytical chemists to identify these compounds as most often VSCs are found at low concentrations in most tropical fruits. The aim of this review is to discuss the extraction methods...

Characterization of key aroma-active compounds in lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)
Publication date: April 2018Source: Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, Volume 26, Issue 2Author(s): Shi Feng, Mingyang Huang, Jonathan Henry Crane, Yu WangAbstractVolatile compounds in ‘Sweetheart’ lychee were examined using gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS). Solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) technique was used to identify the aroma-active compounds in lychee. Further characterization of the most important odorants in ‘Sweetheart’ lychee was achieved using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Thirty-one key aroma-active odorants were identified in the flavor dilution (FD) facto...

A simple and robust quantitative analysis of retinol and retinyl palmitate using a liquid chromatographic isocratic method
Publication date: April 2018Source: Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, Volume 26, Issue 2Author(s): Satoshi Yokota, Shigeru OshioAbstractVitamin A is a vital nutritional substances that regulates biological activities including development, but is also associated with disease onset. The extent of vitamin A intake influences the retinoid content in the liver, the most important organ for the storage of vitamin A. Measurement of endogenous retinoid in biological samples is important to understand retinoid homeostasis. Here we present a reliable, highly sensitive, and robust method for the quantification of retinol and retiny...

Effects of electrode gap and electric current on chlorine generation of electrolyzed deep ocean water
Publication date: April 2018Source: Journal of Food and Drug Analysis, Volume 26, Issue 2Author(s): Guoo-Shyng Wang Hsu, Shun-Yao HsuAbstractElectrolyzed water is a sustainable disinfectant, which can comply with food safety regulations and is environmental friendly. A two-factor central composite design was adopted for studying the effects of electrode gap and electric current on chlorine generation efficiency of electrolyzed deep ocean water. Deep ocean water was electrolyzed in a glass electrolyzing cell equipped with platinum-plated titanium anode and cathode in a constant-current operation mode. Results showed that cu...
