Phenolic content,antioxidant and antibacterial activity of selected natural sweeteners available on the Polish market

Seventeen natural sweeteners available on the Polish market were screened for total phenolic content, by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and for antioxidant activity, using the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay and the 2,2′-Azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation decolorization assay (ABTS^·+). In addition, we analyzed antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus strains: both those susceptible and those resistant to methicillin (MRSA). The results of the study showed that total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity differ widely among different samples of sweeteners. Phenolic content, expressed as a gallic acid equivalent, ranged from 0 mg kg^?1 in white, refined sugar, xylitol and wheat malt syrup to 11.4 g kg^?1 in sugarcane molasses. Antioxidant activity was lowest in refined white sugar, xylitol, brown beet sugar, liquid fructose, and rape honey; it was average in spelt syrup and corn syrup, and highest in sugar cane, beet molasses, date and barley syrups. Despite the great variety of sweeteners, a strong correlation was noted between the concentration of phenolics and antioxidant properties, as determined by the ABTS^·+ method (r = 0.97) and the FRAP assay (r = 0.77). The strongest antibacterial activity was observed in sugarcane molasses, which was lethal to S. aureus strains at 2 and 4% concentrations in medium for susceptible and MRSA strains respectively. Other sweeteners kill bacteria in 6–15% solutions, whereas some did not show any antibacterial activities against S. aureus strains, even at 20% concentrations. Due to their high antioxidant and antibacterial activities, some of the tested sweeteners have potential therapeutic value as supporting agents in antibiotic therapy.     

Development of simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of bendiocarb in its formulations and environmental samples

Facile, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of bendiocarb in its insecticidal formulations, fortified water, food grains, agriculture wastewater and agriculture soil samples with prepared reagents. The method was based on alkaline hydrolysis of the bendiocarb pesticide, and the resultant hydrolysis product of bendiocarb was coupled with 2,6-dibromo-4-methylaniline to give a yellow color product with λmaxof457 nmorcouplingwith2, 6−dibromo−4−nitroanilinetoproducearedcoloredproductwithλ_max of474~nmorcouplingwith2, 4, 6−tribromoanilinetoformorangeredcoloredproducthasaλ_max of465 nm.Underoptimalconditions, Beer'slawrangefor2, 6−dibromo−4−methylaniline(DBMA)wasfoundtobe0.6−−14.0~μgmL ^-1, 0.8−−10.0 μgmL ^-1 for2, 6−dibromo−4−nitroaniline(DBNA)and0.4−−10.0 μgmL ^-1 for2, 4, 6−tribromoaniline(TBA).Themolarabsorptivityofthecolorsystemswerefoundtobe4.126~×~10⁴ lmol ^-1 cm ^-1 forDBMA, 3.254×10⁴ l~mol ^-1 cm ^-1 forDBNAand2.812×10⁴ lmol ^-1 cm ^-1 forTBA.Sandell'softhecolorreactionsare0.018 μgcm ^-2(DBMA), 0.052 μgcm ^-2(DBNA)and0.065 μgcm ^-2$ (TBA) respectively. The effect of the non-target species on the determination of bendiocarb was studied. The formation of colored derivatives with the coupling agents is instantaneous and stable for 18 h, 30 h, and 12 h. Performance of the proposed methods were compared statistically in terms Student's F and t-tests with the reported methods.     

Fenton氧化处理爆炸物污染土壤的实验研究

采用摇瓶和玻璃柱试验考察了Fenton氧化处理爆炸物污染土壤中2,4-DNT、2,6-DNT以及COD等的去除效果及其最佳参数.当3%H2O2投加量达到26.46mmol、FeSO4和H2O2的物质的量之比约为1∶73.56时,2,4-DNT和2,6-DNT均可被完全氧化,COD去除率可达到87%.对于2,4-DNT和2,6-DNT,反应时间只需要2h,但要同时去除其它芳香族硝基化合物,则反应时间需要超过8h.土壤直接Fenton氧化的效果并不理想,而对洗出液进行Fenton氧化可以取得很好的效果.通过反应动力学分析和丙酮抑制试验得出,2,4-DNT比2,6-DNT容易氧化.GC-MS分析结果表明,不仅土壤中的2,4-DNT、2,6-DNT可被氧化,其它的硝基芳香族有机化合物也可被氧化去除.
