TL;DR: Glycosphingolipids are well suited for analysis by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), which is useful for monitoring purification, for qualitative and quantitative determination of expression in normal and pathological tissues, for partial structural analysis, and for detecting biological activities.
Abstract: Publisher Summary Glycosphingolipids are well suited for analysis by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), which is useful for monitoring purification, for qualitative and quantitative determination of expression in normal and pathological tissues, for partial structural analysis, and for detecting biological activities, including immunoreactivity and binding activity toward toxins, viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotic cells. Although quantitative TLC can be used to determine the concentration of resolved glycosphingolipid species, it is useful to estimate the total concentration of glycosphingolipid in a sample prior to or in association with TLC. Glycosphingolipid samples must first be freed of major contaminating lipids, proteins, and low molecular weight contaminants. The most widely used TLC developing solvents for glycosphingolipids are mixtures of chloroform, methanol, and water (or aqueous salts), because they form a single phase at a range of hydrophobicities well suited for glycosphingolipid resolution on silica gel TLC plates. Reversible stains are useful for preparative TLC. To improve recovery, the plate should not be allowed to dry thoroughly at any time after running. The simplest but least sensitive reversible staining method is to spray the TLC plate heavily with distilled water.

TL;DR: In this article, a new separation approach combining thin-layer chromatography and molecular imprinting was proposed, and the results showed that the obtained chiral separation factor α was 3.5.
Abstract: A new separation approach, combining thin-layer chromatography and molecular imprinting, is reported. Thin-layer chromatography plates were made based on the molecular imprinting technique. Rapid chiral separation of L- and D-phenylalanine anilide, chosen as model compounds, was shown. The obtained chiral separation factor α was 3.5. The separation of other compounds (anilide, dansyl, ester, and amide derivatives of amino acids) was testes on L-phenylalanine anilide and nonimprinted TLC plates

TL;DR: Results obtained by analysis of TFA as triacylglycerols compared favourably with those obtained by using methyl esters, and the findings of the FTIR method were substantiated by applying argentation chromatography in combination with capillary gas chromatography to the same set of samples.
Abstract: Trans fatty acids (TFA) formed during biohydrogenation by ruminant animals were quantified in cows' milk fat by means of Fourier transform i.r. (FTIR) spectroscopy. When samples were analysed as the derived methyl esters, a spectral subtraction technique resulted in TFA values that were not biased by the unspecific absorption of intact triacylglycerols or influenced by the shape of the trans band. Austrian milk fat samples contained 20-50 g TFA/kg. Results obtained by analysis of TFA as triacylglycerols compared favourably with those obtained by using methyl esters. The findings of the FTIR method were further substantiated by applying argentation chromatography in combination with capillary gas chromatography to the same set of samples. Besides trans monoenoic acids, non-methylene interrupted cis, trans octadecadienoic acids contributed significantly to the total trans content. Two novel TFA, trans-11, cis-15 octadecadienoic and cis-9, trans-13 octadecadienoic acids, were identified in milk fat by means of their retention behaviour on argentation chromatography and gas chromatography as well as by an oxidative degradation procedure.

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro studies of incorporation of radioactive precursors showed diminished cuticular hydrocarbon synthesis after NaTCA treatment, which enhanced the penetration and increased the lethality of a contact insecticide.
Abstract: A new approach to insect control--using sodium trichloroacetate (NaTCA) to inhibit synthesis of the hydrophobic cuticular lipids that protect insects from dehydration--was tested on Triatoma infestans. In vivo and in vitro studies of incorporation of radioactive precursors showed diminished cuticular hydrocarbon synthesis after NaTCA treatment. Thin layer chromatography and scanning electron microscopy showed disruption of the cuticular lipid layer of NaTCA-treated insects, which also have increased mortality and altered molting cycles. NaTCA treatment enhanced the penetration and increased the lethality of a contact insecticide.

TL;DR: In this article, an ethanol extract of Achillea millefolium L. showed repelling properties against the Aedes aegypti L. showing that the most active compounds were the nitrogen containing compound stachydrine, carboxylic acids, caffeic, chlorogenic, and salicylic acids.
Abstract: An ethanol extract ofAchillea millefolium L. showed repelling properties against the mosquito,Aedes aegypti L. Prepared fractions from the extract contained several active compounds which were characterized by thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Of 35 compounds tested, the most active were the nitrogen containing compound stachydrine, the carboxylic acids, caffeic, chlorogenic, and salicylic acids, and the phenolic compound pyrocatechol. These substances are earlier reported to occur inA. millefolium with the exception of pyrocatechol. Some further substances with lower activity were characterized for the first time inA. millefolium, i.e., adenine, ferulic and mandelic acid, and the methyl esters of capryliclinolenic- and undecylenic acid.

TL;DR: A simple quantitative HPTLC method for the determination of sorbic acid, benzoic acid and dehydroacetic acid in beverages without extraction or cleanup is described in this article.
Abstract: A simple quantitative HPTLC method for the determination of sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and dehydroacetic acid in beverages without extraction or cleanup is described. Aliquots of samples and standards are chromatographed on preadsorbent silica gel or C-18 bonded silica gel plates containing fluorescent indicator, and the zones, which quench fluorescence, are compared by scanning densitometry. Recoveries of the acids from wine and juices spiked at 50–300 ppm averaged 98%, and the coefficient of variation of replicate analyses ranged from 2–5%. Commercial sodas containing unknown amounts sodium benzoate and iced teas containing potassium benzoate were analyzed by the method, and the tea analyses were validated by standard addition. The advantages of the TLC method relative to current HPLC and absorption spectrometric procedures are described.

Abstract: Two similar methods, normal phase high performance liquid chromatography and silica gel thin-layer chromatography with densitometry, were applied for the separation and quantitative determination of the diterpene glycosides stevioside and rebaudioside A in the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. Results were compared and found to be very close in all basic features: resolution, accuracy and reproducibility. Thin-layer chromatrography was found to be more suitable in case of phytochemical screening of large number of samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, a column chromatography method for separation of phenolic compounds from flaxseed using Sephadex LH-20, RP-8 and silica gel is described.
Abstract: A column chromatography method for separation of phenolic compounds from flaxseed using Sephadex LH-20, RP-8 and silica gel is described. TLC analysis proved that separated fractions contained numerous phenolic compounds. All fractions exhibited a maximum UV absorption between 270 and 290 nm. Additional shoulders were observed between 274 and 350 nm. These results imply that lignans and their derivatives are the main phenolic compounds present in flaxseed.

TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to investigate the ganglioside expression of the highly metastatic murine lymphoreticular tumour cell line MDAY-D2, and found the dis8alogangliosides GD1α was found in equal amounts compared to GD1a.
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the ganglioside expression of the highly metastatic murine lymphoreticular tumour cell line MDAY-D2. Cells were propagated under controlled pH conditions and oxygen supply in bioreactors of 1 and 7.5l volumes by repeated batch fermentation. Gangliosides were isolated from 2.7×1011 cells, purified by silica gel chromatography and separated into mono- and disialoganglioside fractions by preparative DEAE anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography. Individual gangliosides were obtained by preparative thin layer chromatography. Their structural features were established by immunostaining, fast atom bombardment and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. In addition to gangliosides of the GM1a-pathway (GM2, GM1a and GD1a) and GM1b (IV3Neu5Ac-GgOse4Cer) and GalNAc-GM1b of the GM1b-pathway, the dis8aloganglioside GD1α (IV3Neu5Ac, III6Neu5Ac-GgOse4Cer) was found in equal amounts compared to GD1a (IV3Neu5Ac, II3Neu5Ac-GgOse4Cer). All gangliosides were substituted with C24:0,24:1 and C16:0 fatty acids, sphingosine andN-acetylneuraminic acid as the sole sialic acid.

TL;DR: In this article, various chromatographic techniques for isolation and separation of highly esterified sucrose polyesters (SPE) of olive oil are described, including thin-layer chromatography, Iatroscan TLC flame-ionization detection (FID), and highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on reversed-phase.
Abstract: Various chromatographic techniques for isolation and separation of highly esterified sucrose polyesters (SPE) of olive oil are described. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography was used to check the purity of the samples, particularly to show that SPE were free from unreacted fatty acid methyl esters. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC), Iatroscan TLC flame-ionization detection (FID) and highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on reversed-phase were applied for separation of octa-, hepta- and hexaesters of sucrose. Pure fractions from the total mixture, obtained by column chromatography, were identified by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. When necessary, specific reactions were applied; particularly, silylation and lead acetate-dichlorofluorescein (in toluene) spray were used to ascertain the degee of esterification of sucrose. Finally, octa-, hepta- and hexaesters of sucrose were quantitated by silica column chromatography, TLC/FID and HPLC on reversed-phase.
