RESUMO

In this work, the combination of experimental and theoretical results was employed to confirm an interaction between Cdots and AgNPs in the silver/Cdots hybrid nanoparticles. The experimental data obtained by UV-vis, IR, ζ potential, and TGA techniques were correlated and interpreted by calculations obtained by DFT. In particular, an interaction between the -COO- functional group of the Cdots with AgNPs was revealed. As consequence of this interaction, a frequency shift and a higher absorption intensity in the IR of the -OH group in the Cdots was theoretically predicted and also observed in the experimental IR spectra. Moreover, a bonding and charge distribution analysis was also carried out. These results constitute new physical insight for the Ag@Cdots system. Additionally, based in this type of interaction, energy calculations explained the negative charge surrounding the AgNPs, which was detected by ζ potential measurements. This systematic methodology not only is useful for this nanoparticles system but also could be used to analyze the interaction between the components that constitute other types of hybrid nanoparticles.

RESUMO

Determining fat content in hamburgers is very important to minimize or control the negative effects of fat on human health, effects such as cardiovascular diseases and obesity, which are caused by the high consumption of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. This study proposed an alternative analytical method based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) and Successive Projections Algorithm for interval selection in Partial Least Squares regression (iSPA-PLS) for fat content determination in commercial chicken hamburgers. For this, 70 hamburger samples with a fat content ranging from 14.27 to 32.12mgkg-1 were prepared based on the upper limit recommended by the Argentinean Food Codex, which is 20% (ww-1). NIR spectra were then recorded and then preprocessed by applying different approaches: base line correction, SNV, MSC, and Savitzky-Golay smoothing. For comparison, full-spectrum PLS and the Interval PLS are also used. The best performance for the prediction set was obtained for the first derivative Savitzky-Golay smoothing with a second-order polynomial and window size of 19 points, achieving a coefficient of correlation of 0.94, RMSEP of 1.59mgkg-1, REP of 7.69% and RPD of 3.02. The proposed methodology represents an excellent alternative to the conventional Soxhlet extraction method, since waste generation is avoided, yet without the use of either chemical reagents or solvents, which follows the primary principles of Green Chemistry. The new method was successfully applied to chicken hamburger analysis, and the results agreed with those with reference values at a 95% confidence level, making it very attractive for routine analysis.

RESUMO

The quantification of zinc in over-the-counter drugs as commercial propolis extracts by molecular fluorescence technique using meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (H2 TCPP4 ) was developed for the first time. The calibration curve is linear from 6.60 to 100 nmol L-1 of Zn2+ . The detection and quantification limits were 6.22 nmol L-1 and 19.0 nmol L-1 , respectively. The reproducibility and repeatability calculated as the percentage variation of slopes of seven calibration curves were 6.75% and 4.61%, respectively. Commercial propolis extract samples from four Brazilian states were analyzed and the results (0.329-0.797 mg/100 mL) obtained with this method are in good agreement with that obtained with the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) technique. The method is simple, fast, of low cost and allows the analysis of the samples without pretreatment. Moreover the major advantage is that Zn-porphyrin complex presents fluorescent characteristic promoting the selectivity and sensitivity of the method.

RESUMO

The determination of phenolic compounds is of great importance owing to their high toxicity. Some of them are present in tobacco smoke and it is important for their monitoring in air of closed room. A simple, rapid and sensitive method was developed for simultaneous determination of hydroquinone, resorcinol and phenol in this kind of samples. Synchronous fluorescence technique was used and the data were processed by using the partial least-squares (PLS) chemometric algorithm. The concentrations for experimental calibration matrix were varied between 0.02 and 0.2 mg L(-1) for hydroquinone, between 0.05 and 0.6 mg L(-1) for resorcinol and between 0.05 and 0.4 mg L(-1) for phenol in accordance with the national legislation. The cross-validation method was used to select the number of factors. To check the accuracy of the proposed method a recovery study on real samples was carried out.
