“…In this case, the polar nature of amino acids required a derivatization step prior to the analysis to make them more volatile and to improve their chromatographic performance. Applying MS is advantageous for its sensitivity and ability to provide structural data [ 31 ].…”

Maple syrup is a delicacy prepared by boiling the sap taken from numerous Acer species, primarily sugar maple trees. Compared to other natural sweeteners, maple syrup is believed to be preferable to refined sugar for its high concentration of phenolic compounds and mineral content. The presence of organic acids (malic acid), amino acids and relevant amounts of minerals, such as potassium, calcium, zinc and manganese, make maple syrup unique. Given the growing demand for naturally derived sweeteners over the past decade, this review paper deals with and discusses in detail the most important aspects of chemical maple syrup analyses, with a particular emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages of the different analytical approaches. A successful utilization on the application of maple syrup in the food industry, will rely on a better understanding of its safety, quality control, nutritional profile, and health impacts, including its sustainability issues.

This study aimed at assessing the trace metals contents of cobwebs using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The cobwebs were collected from male’s hostel; females hostel, chemistry laboratory, and lecture theatre areas in order to establish the level of suspended trace metals in the atmosphere. The cobwebs were digested with aqua regia before analysis using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The highest concentration value of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Co, Cd, Na, and Mg are 10.388±4.734, 4.228±3.267, 0.461±0.900, 0.639±0,529, 0.13±0.05, 0.115±0.099, 0.004±0.001, 0.600±0.400, and 0.015±0.035 mg/L respectively, from MH, FH, CL, and LT. It was found that, the concentration of trace metals in cobwebs decreases as the harmattan, burning of dumpsite, and school activities decrease. In general, the total concentration of all elements varied from 10.388 mg/L assessed at male hostel (MH) to 0.002 mg/L at lecture theatre (LT). The values recorded for all the element may be due to the use of cosmetic; dust, heating equipment (stoves, heater, fireplaces), paint, burning of refuses, vehicle emission, insecticide or pesticides usage, tobacco smoke around the study area. The fact that appreciable values of trace metals were recorded in the study area affirmed the presence of unsafe air in the institution. Therefore, there is a need not only to curb activities that increase these trace metals, but also to ensure perennial brooming and removing cobwebs dusts in the institution.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Thus, accurate analysis of Hg(II) in environmental and consumable water supplies remains a great challenge for public health and environmental protection. [9][10][11][12] Different methods and analytical techniques such as chemical treatment, 13 electrochemistry, 14 Xray uorescence, 15,16 inductively coupled plasma atomic/optical emission spectrometry 17,18 and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry 19,20 have been widely used for the analysis of Hg(II), however, direct determination of Hg(II) in real aqueous samples is challenging due to its very low concentrations with complex sample matrices. 21,22 The sample matrices compromise the instrumental detection, accuracy and the limit of quantication.…”
