Summary: Chemometric analyses showed that VOCs in mouse urine were dysregulated by prostate cancer and could distinguish tumor-bearing mice. VOCs in human urine could classify any type of prostate cancer and separate aggressive grades with higher sensitivity and specificity. The overlap in VOC structure and functionality between mice and humans suggests the merit of murine models for identifying biomarker candidates.

Summary: This study investigated 46 strains of Streptococcus thermophilus isolated from commercial starter cultures and evaluated the aroma of the fermented milk produced by these strains. Different types of fermented milk were classified based on their sensory attributes, and their volatile compositions were analyzed using HS-GC-IMS and HS-SPME-GC-TOF/MS. Key compounds were identified using PCA and OPLS-DA, and these compounds could be used as indicators to develop fermented milks with specific aroma and flavor features.

Summary: The consumption of synthetic cathinones has been increasing in recent years due to its affordability and accessibility as an alternative to amphetamines. Developing procedures capable of detecting and monitoring their consumption is crucial, and urine has been widely used for this purpose as it is non-invasive and provides larger sample volumes than other biological matrices. Chromatographic techniques are the most reported approach for determining cathinones in urine samples.

Summary: Dynamic vapor microextraction (DVME) was extended to casework containers for the first time in this study, investigating the effects of different container types, oven temperatures, and collection volumes on the recovery of target compounds. The presence of polymer bag material led to losses of low-volatility species, while glass jars allowed for the recovery of target compounds across the entire volatility range.

Summary: Headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) was used to investigate the impact of four probiotics on the volatile components of fermented coffee. The results showed that the aroma of green beans increased after fermentation, while that of roasted beans decreased. The use of probiotics in coffee fermentation can significantly enhance the aroma and improve the quality of commercial coffee beans.

Summary: The study examined the contamination of BTEX in the subsurface of gas stations and nearby residences in Braganca, northern Brazil. The combination of ground penetrating radar (GPR), gas chromatography (GC), and mass spectrometry (MS) was utilized to detect and diagnose the presence of BTEX in water samples. The results showed low-amplitude reflections in the vadose zone of gas stations using GPR, and GC-MS identified benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and/or xylene in 19.7% of the water samples collected. The integrated application of GPR and GC-MS proved effective in diagnosing the subsurface contamination of the surveyed gas stations.

Summary: Biosorption using phosphorylated hazelnut shell waste (FHS) is a promising method for lithium removal and recovery. This study investigated the performance of a continuous-flow packed-bed column system using FHS for ultra-low level lithium removal. The results showed that the lihium biosorption capacity of the FHS column was unaffected by the bed height, but decreased with increasing flow rate.

Summary: In this study, an ionic covalent organic framework (iCOF) surface grafting monolithic sorbent was prepared for in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of aristolochic acids (AAs) in various samples. The density of quaternary ammonium ions in the iCOF was modulated for enhanced adsorption of AAs. The iCOF surface grafting monolithic sorbent was confirmed by different means. Several operating conditions were optimized to develop the online in-tube SPME-HPLC method, which showed good linearity, low limits of detection, and high recoveries for AAs in serum samples. This study presents a feasible approach for the application of COF-based monolithic sorbents in sample preparation.

Summary: A chitosan-alginate sponge with multiple cross-linking networks was developed for adsorption and enrichment of anionic dyes from food samples. The sponge showed better three-dimensional network structure, mechanical behavior, and stability compared to pure chitosan and alginate sponges. The adsorption performance and selectivity of the sponge were systematically studied, and it maintained high adsorption capacity and selectivity for anionic dyes. The sponge also showed satisfactory reusability and was successfully combined with high-performance liquid chromatography for the enrichment and detection of anionic dyes in candy and cocktail samples.

Summary: Analysis of in vivo exposure to traditional Chinese medicine using mass spectrometry is helpful for identifying effective ingredients and developing new drugs. This study focused on Forsythia suspensa (Lian Qiao) and used metabolomics technology to explore its in vivo exposure. By comparing the differences before and after administration, a complete set of nontargeted analysis strategies for TCM exposure was established. The study identified 393 Lian Qiao-related chemical components in mice after administration, including prototypes and metabolites. This study provides a reference for research on the active ingredients of Lian Qiao in vivo.
