Abstract

Molecular imprinting technology (MIT) is a technique for generating polymers bearing biomimetic receptors. It offers several advantages to the agrofood industry in areas such as analysis, sensoring, extraction, or preconcentration of components. It has the potential of becoming a tool for acquiring truly simple, rapid, and robust direct measurements. In this review, the special features of MIT that have bearing on food science and technology are highlighted.

An analysis of the SFSTP guide on validation of chromatographic bioanalytical methods: progress and limitations.

The Société Française des Sciences et Techniques Pharmaceutiques (SFSTP) published in 1997 a guide on the validation of chromatographic bio-analytical methods, which introduces new concepts in three different areas: stages of the validation, test of acceptability of a method and design of experiments to perform. In 'stages of validation', the SFSTP guide requires two phases to validate a method. The first phase, called 'prevalidation', is intended to (1) identify the model to use for the calibration curve; (2) evaluate the limits of quantitation; and (3) provide good estimates of the precision and bias of the method before designing the 'validation' phase per se. In the 'test of acceptability', the use of the interval hypotheses is envisaged by the SFSTP guide, not on the parameters of bias and precision, but on individual results by mixing mean bias and intermediate precision in a single test. The SFSTP guide also avoids the use of Satterthwaite's df for testing the acceptability. The reasons for those choices are discussed extensively. In 'design of experiments', much effort has been devoted to improving the quality of results by optimally designing and sizing the experiments to perform in validation. The rationale for using near D-optimal designs for the calibration curve is demonstrated and sample sizes are proposed to correctly size the validation experiments.

Isothermal Kováts retention indices of sulfur compounds on a poly(5% diphenyl-95% dimethylsiloxane) stationary phase.

Isothermal Kováts retention indices of 21 sulfur compounds relevant to the fuel gas and food industries are reported on a poly(5% diphenyl-95% dimethylsiloxane) capillary column stationary phase. Measurements were performed at four temperatures and the temperature dependence of the values modeled with Antoine-type equations. Indices were calculated using a non-linear technique, and the predicted values were found to agree with values obtained using traditional logarithmic predictions. We demonstrate that there is sufficient separation between retention indices to predict the identity of a compound by its retention index.

Efficiency of preparative and process column distribution systems.

An analytical method for computing the residence time distribution of the liquid distribution system in chromatography columns is described. The impact of the distributor design on the separation efficiency is predicted as a function of media properties and packed bed dimensions. The efficiency loss due to the distributor when increasing column diameter during scale-up is quantified. It is shown that this loss can be compensated by modulating the local bed height via a moderate inclination of the bed support. It is concluded that the selection of an appropriate distributor design concept with optimised dimensions enables a scale-up of chromatographic separations without any significant loss of chromatographic efficiency due to the distribution system.
