Abstract:The convenient determination of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) for a commercially available dietary supplement was developed using gas chromatography (GC)-flame ionization detector (FID). Chromatography was performed on a capillary column (0.32 mm I.D × 30 m, 0.25 µm) coated with dimethylpolysiloxane using diethylene glycol methyl ether as an internal standard. The performance characteristics of GC were evaluated in terms of selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ). The calibration curve was highly linear (the coefficient of determination: 0.9979) within the concentration range of 10.0~800.0 µg/mL for MSM. The recoveries for three fortified concentrations were 96.7~97.1%, 96.6~97.3% and 96.8~97.2%, respectively. The LOD and LOQ of the method were 0.29 µg/mL and 0.97 µg/mL, respectively. All obtained results were acceptable according to the guidelines of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists for dietary supplements. Thus, the validated analytical method using the GC-FID system is suitable for the determination of MSM in dietary supplement formulations for quality control.

This study is intended to increase the understanding of multicultural children's parent-child which I used as a control. To do this a survey was conducted of students with basic communication ability in the 5 th and 6 th grades who are enrolled in elementary school in Gyeonggi Province. In the study, the multicultural children's group, when compared to other groups, had a father-child relationship quality that was found to be lower. A study will be made analyzing the father of multicultural families' children, including the father's role in mulicultural education. Through the fact that the quality of parent-child relationship significantly affects multicultural family children's school adjustment. If multicultural family parents have access to a variety of training programs in education, then multicultural children school adjustment will be further enhanced.
