“…Caffeine content data of different food items investigated in the present study are comparable to those published by other authors (SHIVELY & TARKA, 1984;CAMARGO et al, 1999, CAUDLE et al, 2001MCCUSKER et al, 2003MCCUSKER et al, , 2006a2006b;PENA et al, 2005;CHOU & BELL, 2007;OLMOS et al, 2009;HECKMAN et al, 2010). These data show that there are some special caffeine sources like cakes, biscuits or cottage cheese based desserts containing cocoa or chocolate, but it is supposed that these foods do not contribute at a high level in the intake of caffeine.…”

How much caffeine does one ingest when drinking a simple cup of coffee in Portugal? The study presented herein tried to answer this question through the assessment of caffeine content of commercially available espresso coffee samples, both caffeinated and decaffeinated, using a high-performance liquid chromatography assay. Caffeine was rapidly separated from the sample matrix using a RP-18 column (250×4 mm i.d., 5 μm). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the mobile phase consisted of water acidified with 5% of orthophosphoric acid/methanol (35:65, v/v). Caffeine was detected directly at 273 nm. The assay was validated for linearity, lower limit of quantification and limit of detection, precision, accuracy, and stability. Seventeen different brands of caffeinated coffee and six of decaffeinated coffee were analyzed. As for capsule coffee, eight caffeinated and two decaffeinated blends were analyzed. The caffeine content of caffeinated coffee varied from 53.8 ± 5.9 to 141.3 ± 5.3 mg/cup, whereas for caffeinated capsule coffee caffeine concentrations ranged from 45.0±5.3 to 60.8±6.2 mg/cup. As for decaffeinated coffee, caffeine concentrations ranged from 0.96 ± 0.04 to 3.9 ± 0.1 mg/cup and for decaffeinated capsule coffee from 0.93±0.04 to 1.2±0.1 mg/cup.

The main goal of this work was determination of residues of the antibiotics ofloxacin (OFLO), norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIPRO), and enrofloxacin (ENRO) in wastewater samples. The samples, after acidification to pH 4.5 and addition of EDTA, were extracted on an anion-exchange cartridge in tandem with an Oasis HLB cartridge. The LC-FD method, developed in previous studies, was based on application of a monolithic C 18 column. for ENRO. Mean recovery ranged between 75 and 121% for OFLO, NOR, CIPRO, and ENRO. A total of 14 wastewater samples were analyzed; these were collected from four hospitals and from influent and effluent from a wastewatertreatment plant in Coimbra, Portugal, during spring and autumn. CIPRO was present in all the samples, NOR was detected second most often, followed by OFLO. ENRO was found at concentrations under the LOQ in five hospital samples, and the highest level was found in influent from the WWTP.
