Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Organic acids were determined by ultra-fast liquid chromatography (UFLC, Shimadzu 20A series, Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) coupled with a photodiode array detector (PDA), which used 215 nm and 245 nm as preferred wavelengths. Samples were subjected to metaphosphoric acid extraction, as previously described by Barros, Pereira and Ferreira [22 ]. A SphereClone (Phenomenex, Hauppauge, NY, USA) reverse phase C18 column (5 μm, 250 × 4.6 mm i.d) was used at 35 °C to perform the chromatographic separation and the mobile phase used was sulphuric acid at 3.6 mM using a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Quantification of organic acids was done by comparing the area of their peaks with the commercial standards of each compound, using LabSolutions Multi LC-PDA software (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). Quantification was achieved by comparing the area of organic acid peaks from the different samples with calibration curves obtained from commercial standards. The results were expressed in g 100 g−1 of DW.

A SphereClone reverse phase C18 column (5 µm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., Phenomenex, Torrance, CA, USA) was used for separation at 35 • C. The mobile phase was sulfuric acid 3.6 mM at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. To quantify the compounds, calibration curves plotted using commercial standards (L-(+)-ascorbic acid, citric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, shikimic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid and quinic acid) procured from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA) were used. All tests were carried out in duplicate, expressed in terms of mean ± standard deviation (SD) and expressed in g per 100 g of dry weight (dw).

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.
