The effect of knockout of sulfotransferases 1a1 and 1d1 and of transgenic human sulfotransferases 1A1/1A2 on the formation of DNA adducts from furfuryl alcohol in mouse models.

Carcinogenesis 35(10) , 2339-45, (2014)

Furfuryl alcohol is a rodent carcinogen present in numerous foodstuffs. Sulfotransferases (SULTs) convert furfuryl alcohol into the DNA reactive and mutagenic 2-sulfoxymethylfuran. Sensitive techniques for the isotope-dilution ultra performance liquid chromat...

Comparison of Aroma-Active Volatiles in Oolong Tea Infusions Using GC-Olfactometry, GC-FPD, and GC-MS.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 63 , 7499-510, (2015)

The aroma profile of oolong tea infusions (Dongdingwulong, DDWL; Tieguanyin, TGY; Dahongpao, DHP) were investigated in this study. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) with the method of aroma intensity (AI) was employed to investigate the aroma-active comp...

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...

Extension of a dynamic headspace multi-volatile method to milliliter injection volumes with full sample evaporation: Application to green tea.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1421 , 103-13, (2015)

An extension of multi-volatile method (MVM) technology using the combination of a standard dynamic headspace (DHS) configuration, and a modified DHS configuration incorporating an additional vacuum module, was developed for milliliter injection volume of aque...

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...

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...

Efficient production of the liquid fuel 2,5-dimethylfuran from fructose using formic acid as a reagent.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 49(37) , 6616-8, (2010)

Development of accurate classification method based on the analysis of volatile organic compounds from human exhaled air.

J. Chromatogr. B. Analyt. Technol. Biomed. Life Sci. 861(1) , 101-7, (2008)

Analysis of exhaled air leads to the development of fast accurate and non-invasive diagnostics. A comprehensive analysis of the entire range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled air samples will enable the identification of VOCs unique for certain ...
