A cloud-point extraction (CPE) method using Tergitol TMN-6 (TMN-6) non-ionic surfactant was developed for the extraction and preconcentration of propyl gallate (PG), tertiary butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in edible oils. The optimum conditions of CPE were 1.5 % (v/v) Tergitol TMN-6, 1 % (w/v) NaCl, ultrasound-assist 15 min at 49 KHz, 20 min equilibrated at 45 °C, and centrifugation for 10 min at 3,000 rpm. The surfactant-rich phase was then analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection at 280 nm, under gradient separation, using methanol and 1.5 % (v/v) acetic acid. Under the study conditions, four synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs) were successfully separated within 24 min. Limits of detection in the studied edible oils were in the range of 1.6 to 9.0 ng mL−1. The high recoveries of the spiked edible oils were obtained in the range 90–98 %. The CPE method has been shown to be a potentially useful methodology for the preconcentration of the target analytes, with a preconcentration factor of 25. This method was compared with cloud point extraction (using Triton X-114) and liquid–liquid extraction (using methanol).

Nematicidal activity of essential oils: a review
Plant parasitic nematodes are the most destructive group of plant pathogens worldwide and their control is extremely challenging. Plant Essential oils (EOs) and their constituents have a great potential in nematode control since they can be developed for use as nematicides themselves or can ... more
For over a century, ulcer has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Its treatment has progressed from vagotomy to proton pump inhibitors. However, the drugs used produce many adverse effects and are less effective than they ought to be. Therefore, there is a growing interest in alt ... more
Endophytic fungi from medicinal plants: a treasure hunt for bioactive metabolites
Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous organisms found in the plants, residing intercellular or intracellular, at least for a portion of their lives without causing apparent symptoms of infection. Almost all plants are known to harbor endophytes. The choice of the plant to be used for exploring en ... more
Cocktail achieves superconducting boost
Physicists describe how they have synthesized a new material that belongs to the iron-selenide class of superconductors, called LixFe2Se2(NH3)y, in a paper about to be published in EPJ B. The work was carried out by Ernst-Wilhelm Scheidt from the University of Augsburg and colleagues. This ... more
US underestimates costs of carbon pollution and climate change
The U.S. federal government is significantly underestimating the costs of carbon pollution because it is using a faulty analytical model, according to a new study published in the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences. A more appropriate accounting of costs would pave the way to cle ... more
