Forbidden Fruit Now Edible: New Mass Spectrometry Approach for Food Pesticide Detection

To ensure high crop yield, the addition of pesticides to crops may seem like a necessary evil. However, most applied chemicals have adverse side-effects to our health. Consequently, simple, effective, and accurate methods of pesticide detection is critical for safe food consumption. Unfortunately, most direct methods of pesticide detection that do not require sample preparation can only provide qualitative results. Furthermore, methods that are capable of quantitative analysis require complicated, time-consuming procedures of sample preparation prior to analysis. Anastasia Albert from the University of Muenster, Carsten Engelhard from the University of Siegen and other colleagues from Germany have evaluated ambient desorption/ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (ADI-HR-MS) for quantitative pesticide detection in fruit, and have devised a streamlined procedure for effective analysis. Find out more about their discovery by accessing the link below:

Rapid blood test for critically ill newborns

Test for methylarginines in newborn infants

Test for methylarginines in newborn infants

Developing an analytical technique for use in the field of neo-natal intensive care presents a significant challenge to researchers. Newborn infants who are very premature and unwell can’t safely provide large blood samples for analysis, and a fast turn-around of lab results is crucial for a life-saving diagnosis.

Methylarginines (MAs) are nitric oxide synthase inhibitors which have been linked to respiratory problems in newborns. Researchers led by Susan Lunte at the University of Kansas, USA, report the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to measure and track methylarginine concentrations in infant blood plasma for the first time. Their newly developed sample preparation and separation methods are specifically designed to cope with low volume plasma samples, and the results confirm that infants in neo-natal intensive care units (NICUs) have extremely high MA levels.

A new PLS method for studying nonlinearity

Statistical methods such as partial least squares (PLS) and principle component analysis (PCA) have been used to process vibrational spectra in order to understand certain trends between samples and their spectra. However, these methods and similar ones break down when the variables demonstrate a nonlinear relationship.

Guangzaho Huang and researchers at Wenzhou University explored updating a genetic algorithm to process nonlinear data. They found that this genetic algorithm PLS (GS-PLS) model performed more effectively than other PLS models did, particularly when nonlinearity was the primary restricting factor.  The GS-PLS worked in both simulated data sets and using near infrared spectra from different materials.

To read more about this new method, click the link below. It will be free to read until May 11th.
