The biologically active iron chelators 2-pyridylcarboxaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone, 2-pyridylcarboxaldehyde benzoylhydrazone monohydrate and 2-furaldehyde isonicotinoylhydrazone.

In the crystal structures of the respective title compounds, C12H10N4O, C13H11N3O.H2O and C11H9N3O2, variations in the torsion angles of the aromatic pyridyl and benzoyl groups are observed, and the disposition of the heterocyclic aldehyde is shown to be influenced by the ring size of this group.

Growth of a strictly anaerobic bacterium on furfural (2-furaldehyde).

A strictly anaerobic bacterium was isolated from a continuous fermentor culture which converted the organic constituents of sulfite evaporator condensate to methane and carbon dioxide. Furfural is one of the major components of this condensate. This furfural isolate could degrade furfural as the sole source of carbon and energy in a defined mineral-vitamin-sulfate medium. Acetic acid was the major fermentation product. This organism could also use ethanol, lactate, pyruvate, or fumarate and contained cytochrome c(3) and desulfoviridin. Except for furfural degradation, the characteristics of the furfural isolate were remarkably similar to those of the sulfate reducer Desulfovibrio gigas. The furfural isolate has been tentatively identified as Desulfovibrio sp. strain F-1.

Adaptation of a recombinant xylose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain to a sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate with high content of fermentation inhibitors.

Adaptation of a xylose-utilizing genetically engineered strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to sugarcane bagasse hydrolysates by cultivation during 353h using medium with increasing concentrations of inhibitors, including phenolic compounds, furaldehydes and aliphatic acids, led to improved performance with respect to ethanol production. The remaining xylose concentration in the medium at the end of the cultivation was 5.2g l(-1), while it was 11gl(-1) in the feed, indicating that approximately half of the xylose was consumed. The performance of the adapted strain was compared with the parental strain with respect to its ability to ferment three bagasse hydrolysates with different inhibitor concentration. The ethanol yield after 24h of fermentation of the bagasse hydrolysate with lowest inhibitor concentration increased from 0.18gg(-1) of total sugar with the non-adapted strain to 0.38gg(-1) with the adapted strain. The specific ethanol productivity increased from 1.15g ethanol per g initial biomass per h with the non-adapted strain to 2.55gg(-1) h(-1) with the adapted strain. The adapted strain performed better than the non-adapted also in the two bagasse hydrolysates containing higher concentrations of inhibitors. The adapted strain converted the inhibitory furaldehydes 2-furaldehyde (furfural) and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) at a faster rate than the non-adapted strain. The xylose-utilizing ability of the yeast strain did not seem to be affected by the adaptation and the results suggest that ethanol rather than xylitol was formed from the consumed xylose.

Analysis of potential and free furfural compounds in milk-based formulae by high-performance liquid chromatography. Evolution during storage.

A simple and reproducible HPLC-diode array detection method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of potential and free furfural compounds (5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde, HMF; 2-furaldehyde, F; 2-furyl methyl ketone, FMC; and 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, MF) in milk-based formulae was developed and validated. The method showed good linearity with determination coefficients over 0.999. The limits of detection and quantification were acceptable for all furfurals. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for repeatability and reproducibility were <4.28. Recoveries in all furfurals were between 94.5 and 98.7%. In addition, we report the evolution over shelf life of furfural compound levels in an experimental powder formula for pregnant women stored at 25 and 37 degrees C from production until 15 months.

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of methyl anthranilate, hydroxymethylfurfural and related compounds in honey.

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for determining 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (hydroxymethylfurfural), 2-furaldehyde (furfural), furan-2-carboxylic acid (2-furoic acid), furan-3-carboxylic acid (3-furoic acid), furan-3-carboxaldehyde (3-furaldehyde) and 2-aminobenzoic acid methyl ester (methyl anthranilate) in honey and honeydew samples is described. To prevent matrix interference and to isolate the compounds, a clean-up step which implies a solid-phase extraction on polymeric cartridges and an elution with 0.5 ml methanol is recommended. The compounds are separated on a reversed-phase column with a gradient of (A) 1% aqueous acetic acid-acetonitrile (97:3, v/v) and (B) acetonitrile-water (50:50, v/v), with UV detection at 250 nm. The method is applied to the analysis of samples from different botanical origin.
