    Abstract
    In the present study, the profiling of 17 fatty acids (FAs) in avocado seed and pulp was investigated. The fatty acids were extracted with vortex-assisted extraction, methyl esterified and finally preconcentrated by dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction. The preconcentrated fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. The GC–MS data were analyzed using multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) method to overcome general chromatographic problems such as overlapped peaks, background interference and peak shifts. The calibration data were prepared using pure...

    Novel Unbreakable Solid Phase Microextraction Fibers by Electrodepositon of Silica Sol-Gel

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sistani, Habiballah (Author) ; Bagheri, Habib (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Commercial solid phase microextraction fibers posses a few drawbacks such as relatively low recommended operating temperature, instability and swelling in organic solvents, breakage of the fiber, stripping of coatings, and bending of the needle. Some of these problems have been obviated by covalent bonding of the polymer phase to the fused-silica substrate by sol-gel technology, but the easy breakage of the fiber remains a problem. In this study a new technique for preparation of unbreakable, thin and very porous fiber coatings for solid phase microextraction was proposed. In this technique firstly an intermediate film consisting ...

    Abstract
    The components of Iranian spearmint essential oil were identified and quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined with chemometric tools. A multivariate curve resolution (MCR) approach was used to overcome the problems of background, baseline offset and overlapping/embedded peaks in GC-MS. The peaks were resolved using heuristic evolving latent projection (HELP) and multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) techniques. A new pure variable selection method named multivariate curve resolution-objective function equal to zero (MCR-FEQZ) is introduced and was applied in this work. The performance of this technique was evaluated and confirmed...

    Abstract
    Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) cause many significant ecological problems because of their low degradability, high harmfulness, and solid bioaccumulation.Two bacterial strains were isolated from soil that had been polluted with electrical transformer liquid for more than 40 years. The isolates were distinguished as Lysinibacillus macrolides DSM54Tand Bacillus firmus NBRC15306Tthrough 16S rRNA sequencing analysis.This is the primary report of an agent of the genus Bacillus firmus equipped for the removal of PCBs. The strains could develop broadly on 2-Chlorobiphenyl and 2,4-dichlorobiphenyl. GC/MS analysis of individual congeners revealed up to 80% degradation of the xenobiotics in 96h,...

    Abstract
    In analysis of complex natural matrices by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), many disturbing factors such as baseline drift, spectral background, homoscedastic and heteroscedastic noise, peak shape deformation (non-Gaussian peaks), low S/N ratio and co-elution (overlapped and/or embedded peaks) lead the researchers to handle them to serve time, money and experimental efforts. This study aimed to improve the GC-MS analysis of complex natural matrices utilizing multivariate curve resolution (MCR) methods. In addition, to assess the peak purity of the two-dimensional data, a method called variable size moving window-evolving factor analysis (VSMW-EFA) is introduced and examined. The...
