Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Shimadzu (QP2020) instrument integrated with a mass spectrometer was used to perform gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for different solvent extracts of CR. In brief, 100 µL of the filtrate was suspended in 900 µL of respective solvents (ethanol, methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, hexane and petroleum ether). To eliminate the impurities, the mixture was filtered by a syringe filter (0.25 μM). Then, the filtered samples were injected into Shimadzu (QP2020) GC-MS instrument equipped with 30 m long SH-Rxi-5Sil-MS capillary column (0.25 µm film thickness and 0.25 mm inner diameter) by auto injector in 1:10 split ratio. The inlet temperature program was at 50 °C initially and it was increased gradually (6 °C /min) up to 280 °C. Injector temperature was maintained at 250 °C, pressure at 68.1 kpa and helium was used as a carrier gas with 1.2 mL/min flow rate (linear velocity of 39.7 cm/s). The ionization energy of 70 eV was used to perform ionization in an electron impact mode at 200 °C. The results obtained for CR extracts were compared with the standard mass spectra (NIST 2005 MS collection) libraries. The relative percentage of each compound was determined by calculating the average peak area to total area ratio.

For carbon source investigation with isotopic labelled 13CH4: 20 mg Cu0.029-def-WO3 photocatalyst was dispersed in 3 mL H2O, then the reactor was vacuumed for 30 min and refilled with 1 bar O2 and 5 bar 13CH4. The reaction was conducted for 6 h to gain more concentrated products for detection facilitation. As H13CHO tended to exist as HO13CH2OH in aqueous solution, the products were identified by 13C NMR (AVANCE III, JEOL Ltd).

The reaction was conducted for 6 h to gain more concentrated products for detection facilitation. The as-produced HCH18O was measured with GC-MS (QP2020, Shimadzu Co., Ltd) equipped with the Cap WAX column to identify the existence of H218O.

Fatty Acid Profiling and Lipid Quality Indices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lipid content was determined by the chloroform-methanol extraction method [15 (link)] and the extracted lipid was subsequently used for fatty acid analysis. The methyl esterification and analysis of the fatty acids were based on the method described by Ma et al. [13 (link)] using a gas chromatography and mass spectrogram (GC-MS; QP2020, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with Rxi-5 sil MS (30 × 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm). Fatty acids were identified by the external standards (37 Component FAME Mix, Supelco, Bellefonte, PA, USA) and quantified by the internal standard concentration (methyl heptadecanoate, Sigma, Shanghai, China). The atherogenic index (AI) and thrombogenic index (TI) used as evaluating fat quality indices [16 (link)] were calculated as follows: AI=(C12:0+4 × C14:0+C16:0)(ΣMUFAs+ΣPUFAs)
TI=(C14:0+C16:0+C18:0)(0.5 × ΣMUFAs+0.5 × Σn-6 PUFAs+3 × Σn-3 PUFAs+Σn-3 PUFAs/Σn-6 PUFAs)
where MUFA and PUFA represent monounsaturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids, respectively.

Volatile Compounds Analysis in Fish Fillets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The volatile compounds in fillets were assayed by the method described in our previous study [17 (link)] using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS, QP2020, Shimadzu, Japan) coupled with automated solid-phase microextraction (SPME) system (AOC-6000, CTC, Zwingen, Switzerland). Volatile compounds were identified by chemical standards (Sigma, Shanghai, China) and linear retention indices (calculated using a series of n-alkanes). The concentrations were quantified by the ratio of the peak area to the internal standard (2, 4, 6-trimethyl-pyridine, Sigma, Shanghai, China). Odor activity value (OAV) was used to evaluate the contribution of each volatile compound. When the OAV was equal to or greater than 1, it was considered that the substance was an odor-active compound contributing to the overall aroma [18 (link)]. The OAV was calculated as: OAV=Ci/OTi
where Ci is the concentration of the volatile compound, OTi is the odor threshold of the compound reported in the literature [17 (link)].

The analysis of FA composition in samples was carried out by a gas chromatography and flame ionization detector (GC-FID) system (Shimadzu QP2020, Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) equipped with an Rtx-2330 capillary column (0.20 µm, 60 m × 0.25 mm, Restek, Bad Homburg, Germany) [65 ]. Approximately 0.1 g of oil sample was added to 10 mL of hexane and shaken vigorously. To obtain FAMEs, 0.5 mL of the solution of potassium hydroxide (2N) in methanol was added to this mixture and vortexed for 20 s. After holding in the dark for 2 h, 1 µL of this solution was injected into the GC with a split mode (1:100). The temperatures of the injection port and detector were set at 250 °C. The oven temperature was first set at 140 for 5 min. Then, it was increased to 240 °C at a rate of 4 °C/min and maintained at isotherm for 12 min. The carrier gas was helium at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The peak identifications and calculation of their areas as relative percentages were performed by using the mixture standards of FAMEs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
