Simultaneous determination of fluoride, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, monofluorophosphate, glycerophosphate, sorbate, and saccharin in gargles by ion chromatography

Abstract

Simple, reliable and sensitive analytical methods to determine anticariogenic agents, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners contained in commercial gargles are necessary for evaluating their effectiveness, safety, and quality. An ion chromatography (IC) method has been described to analyze simultaneously eight anions including fluoride, chloride, sulfate, phosphate, monofluorophosphate, glycerophosphate (anticariogenic agents), sorbate (a preservative), and saccharin (an artificial sweetener) in gargles. In this IC system, we applied a mobile phased gradient elution with KOH, separation by IonPac AS18 columns, and suppressed conductivity detection. Optimized analytical conditions were further evaluated for accuracy. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the inter-day's retention time and peak area of all species were less than 0.938% and 8.731%, respectively, while RSDs of 5-day retention time and peak area were less than 1.265% and 8.934%, respectively. The correlation coefficients for targeted analytes ranged from 0.999 7 to 1.000 0. The spiked recoveries for the anions were 90% approximately 102.5%. We concluded that the method can be applied for comprehensive evaluation of commercial gargles.

Exploring Emotion Regulation and Perceived Control as Antecedents of Anxiety and Its Consequences During Covid-19 Full Remote Learning

“…AEQ was used to examine the emotions of online learners in previous studies (Artino, 2010;Tempelaar et al, 2012;Heckel and Ringeisen, 2019). The present study adopted the Chinese wording used in Dong and Yu (2007).…”

Simultaneous determination of acesulfame-K, aspartame and stevioside in sweetener blends by ultraviolet spectroscopy with variable selection by sipls algorithm

“…Most of the methods reported so far are based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques [6 -8]. Also, as an alternative to classical HPLC methods, ion-exchange chromatography (IC) has been successfully used for the analysis of different sweeteners [9,10]. In addition, capillary (zone) electrophoresis [11] and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with organic solvent extraction [12] have been applied to the simultaneous determination of several kinds of sweeteners.…”
