Amotosalen hydrochloride was purchased from MedChem-Express (> 98%). Coumarin 120 was supplied by Radiant Laser Dyes. Pure water (Fisher Chemical, HPLC gradient grade) and methanol (VWR Chemicals, HPLC gradient grade, ≥ 99.8%) were used as solvents. The HPLC-purified and lyophilized DNA oligomers were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. A,T-only (5′-(TA) 20 -3′) single strands were employed to form double strands consisting of 40 base pairs. G,C-only (5′-(GC) 4 -3′) single strands were employed to form double strands consisting of 8 base pairs. Longer A,Tstrands were employed because of the lower propensity of A,T-only DNA to form double strands [32] . Solutions of the oligonucleotides were buffered with PBS (Sigma-Aldrich, one tablet dissolved in 200 mL yielded 10 mM phosphate buffer, 2.7 mM potassium chloride, 137 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.4 at 25 °C). Annealing of the oligonucleotide strands in solution was performed 24 h before the measurements. The solution was heated in a water bath up to 95 °C and cooled down to room temperature within several hours. All DNA concentrations refer to base pairs (bp). This is required due to the different strand lengths of A,T-only and G,C-only DNA.

Stored samples (−20°C) were further cooled to −45°C over night and then homogenized using a knife mill (Grindomix GM 3000, Retsch). An aliquot of the homogenate (10 g) was processed according to the QuEChERS multimethod for pesticides12 using acetonitrile (HPLC gradient grade, VWR) as solvent and QuEChERS tubes I and II (DisQuE 50 mL Tube/AOAC – Acetate and DisQuE 2 mL Tube – AOAC, Waters) for clean‐up. For SDS, DBNS, and docusate extract I (after clean‐up with tube I) was analyzed, and for DMDA, spiroxamine, and trifloxystrobin extract II (after clean‐up with tube I and II). Two replicates of each homogenate were processed and analyzed in separate series on consecutive days. For quality control, fortified samples were processed and analyzed in each series.

For use as reagents, 6-Hydroxy-2, 5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox n 648471, Calbiochem San Diego, CA, USA,), 2,2′-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS, A 1888, Sigma Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany)), 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH, Sigma Aldrich), phosphate buffer solution (PBS), Ethanol (EtOH), Methanol (MtOH HPLC grade), Trifluoracetic acid, (TFA, Sigma Aldrich), nitric acid and acetic acid (HPLC gradient grade) were obtained from VWR Chemicals (Radnor, PA, USA). All other reagents were of analytical grade and the water was ultra-pure-grade. Phenolic standards: ferulic acid, tyrosol, isorhamnetin 3-O-rutinoside (narcissin) and kaempferol 3-O-glucoside were purchased from Extrasynthese (Genay, France). The in vitro digestion enzymes: α-amylase from Bacillus sp; pepsin, pancreatin, mucin, lipase from pigs; and bovine bile extract were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy).

Quantification of Total Phenolics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total phenolics were determined by using Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (Singleton and Rossi, 1965 ). Twenty milligrams of powdered samples (freeze-dried) was extracted for 10 min with 500 μL of 70% methanol (HPLC-Gradient grade, VWR chemicals) at 70 °C. The mixtures were centrifuged at 3500g for 10 min and the supernatants were collected in separate tubes. The pellets were re-extracted under identical conditions. Supernatants were combined and used for total phenolics assay and for HPLC analysis. For total phenolics assay 20 μL of extract was dissolved into 2 mL of distilled water. 200 μL of dissolved extract was mixed with 1 mL of Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (previously diluted tenfold with distilled water) and kept at 25 °C for 3–8 min; 0.8 mL of sodium bicarbonate (75 g L−1) solution was added to the mixture. After 60 min at 25 °C, absorbance was measured at 765 nm. The results were expressed as gallic acid equivalents.

HPLC Analysis of Compound Extraction

About 100 mg of sample powder were extracted in 10 mL of 70% methanol for 15 minutes (HPLC Gradient grade, VWR chemicals) and filtered using a 0.45 μm PTFE syringe filter. The analysis used a Shimadzu LC-20AT high performance liquid chromatography system with a UV-VIS SPD20A detector and SIL-20HT autosampler made in Japan. Furthermore, 20 μL of the extract were analyzed using a column temperature of 35°C and a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. A nonpolar C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm) with a 5 μm particle size was used. Eluent A was a 40-minutes gradient program using 1% (v/v) acetic acid in ultrapure water, while eluent B used acetonitrile as follows: 0 to 5 minutes: 10% B, 5 to 15 minutes: 40% B, 15 to 20 minutes: 60% B, 20 to 30 minutes: 90% B, 30 to 40 minutes: 10% B. Subsequently, the absorbance was measured at 272 nm [22 (link)].

Defatted Hempseed Meal Amino Acid Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hempseed meal used in this study was produced as a by‐product after cold oil processing and supplied by a local Irish farm. Defatted hempseed meal pellets were ground using an electric mill (Lloytron E5012WI, Kitchen Perfected Blender with Mill, Lancshire, UK) and vacuum preserved until further analysis. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) were of reagent grade and purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). The amino acid calibration standard mix (analytical standard grade) was purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich (Copenhagen, Denmark). Acetonitrile (high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gradient grade) and methanol (HPLC gradient grade) were from VWR International (Søborg, Denmark). The ultrapure water used in all the experiments was obtained using a Milli‐Q system (Millipore, MA, USA).

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.
