Furanic compounds and furfural in different coffee products by headspace liquid-phase micro-extraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry: survey and effect of brewing procedures.

Food. Addit. Contam. Part. B. Surveill. 8(1) , 73-80, (2015)

In this study, the levels of furan, 2-methylfuran, 2,5-dimethylfuran, vinyl furan, 2-methoxymethyl-furan and furfural in different coffee products were evaluated. Simultaneous determination of these six furanic compounds was performed by a head space liquid-p...

On the Diels-Alder approach to solely biomass-derived polyethylene terephthalate (PET): conversion of 2,5-dimethylfuran and acrolein into p-xylene.

Chemistry 17(44) , 12452-7, (2011)

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a polymeric material with high global demand. Conventionally, PET is produced from fossil-fuel-based materials. Herein, we explored the feasibility of a sustainable method for PET production by using solely bio-renewable re...

Light effect and reactive oxygen species in the action of ciprofloxacin on Staphylococcus aureus.

J. Photochem. Photobiol. B, Biol. 76(1-3) , 13-8, (2004)

Oxygen consumption by Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 sensitive to ciprofloxacin was determined with an oxygen selective electrode. Increase in the O(2) consumption was observed with 0.45 micromL(-1) ciprofloxacin while higher concentrations gave rise to a r...

In vitro effects of aldehydes present in tobacco smoke on gene expression in human lung alveolar epithelial cells.

Toxicol. In Vitro 27(3) , 1072-81, (2013)

Tobacco smoke consists of thousands of harmful components. A major class of chemicals found in tobacco smoke is formed by aldehydes, in particular formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acrolein. The present study investigates the gene expression changes in human lun...

Kinetics of the reactions of OH radicals with 2- and 3-methylfuran, 2,3- and 2,5-dimethylfuran, and E- and Z-3-hexene-2,5-dione, and products of OH + 2,5-dimethylfuran.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 45(5) , 1859-65, (2011)

Furan and alkylfurans are present in the atmosphere from direct emissions and in situ formation from other volatile organic compounds. The OH radical-initiated reactions of furan and alkylfurans have been proposed as relatively clean in situ sources of unsatu...

Shock tube and chemical kinetic modeling study of the oxidation of 2,5-dimethylfuran.

J. Phys. Chem. A 117(7) , 1371-92, (2013)

A detailed kinetic model describing the oxidation of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), a potential second-generation biofuel, is proposed. The kinetic model is based upon quantum chemical calculations for the initial DMF consumption reactions and important reactions o...

Gas- and particulate-phase specific tracer and toxic organic compounds in environmental tobacco smoke.

Chemosphere 61 , 1512-1522, (2005)

Cigarette smoke constituents are worthy of concern and characterized as carcinogens. Different experiment conditions may affect the environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) constituents. A study was undertaken in a 75.5-m3 spare office to evaluate ETS constituents i...

High-level ab initio enthalpies of formation of 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-methylfuran, and furan.

J. Phys. Chem. A 116(47) , 11768-75, (2012)

A high-level ab initio thermochemical technique, known as the Feller-Petersen-Dixon method, is used to calculate the total atomization energies and hence the enthalpies of formation of 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-methylfuran, and furan itself as a means of rationali...

Assessment of environmental tobacco smoke contamination in public premises: significance of 2,5-dimethylfuran as an effective marker.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 44(21) , 8289-94, (2010)

Contamination by environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on premises where smoking is permitted is evaluated. Although all target VOCs evaluated show significant differences between smoking and nonsmoking indoors, the results obtained indicate that 2,5-dimethylfura...

Mechanisms and energetics for acid catalyzed β-D-glucose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfurl.

J. Phys. Chem. A 115(42) , 11740-8, (2011)

Car-Parrinello based ab initio molecular dynamics (CPMD) coupled with metadynamics (MTD) simulations were carried out to investigate the mechanism and energetics for acid-catalyzed β-d-glucose conversion to 5-hydroxymethylfurfurl (HMF) in water. HMF is a crit...
