A rapid, green, and sensitive dual detection technique method was applied using both UV and fluorimetric detection to determine ivabradine and carvedilol in their pure form, combined tablet formulation, and in the spiked human plasma. The method was achieved by using HyperClone™ MOS C8 column (150 × 4.6 mm, with particle size 5 μm), and a mixture composed of (70:10:20%v/v) ethanol: methanol: 0.02 M

Preparing a heavy-metal adsorbent based on alginate-like extracellular polymers from conventional activated sludge via polyethyleneimine grafting Sustain. Chem. Pharm. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Chen Shi, Run-Gen Zeng, Shi-Chao Yuan, Lin Zhang, Xiang-Yang Wang, Li-Ting Hao, Xiao-Di Hao, Nan Zhang, Yuan-Yuan Wu
This paper describes the preparation of a novel heavy-metal adsorbent based on alginate-like extracellular polymers extracted from excess activated sludge. Typical extracellular polymeric substances obtained from activated sludge can adsorb heavy metals; however, their adsorption capacities are unsatisfactory. Although a gel-like recovery system can be formed, it still cannot be easily separated. By

Eco-friendly chromatographic techniques for appraisal of Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, Telmisartan, and their related substances in dosage form: Application to six sigma and content uniformity approaches Sustain. Chem. Pharm. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Hoda A. Ahmed, Mohamed A. El-Atawy, Hossam M. Nassef, M.S. Amin, Mariusz Jaremko, Abdul-Hamid Emwas, Osama A. Mahmoud, Mahmoud A. Mohamed
The present study investigates seven greenness assessment tools to evaluate the greenness of validated novel chromatographic methods used to assess Amlodipine (AML), Hydrochlorothiazide (HYD), Telmisartan (TEL), and their related substances in solid formulations under various stress conditions. The fundamental goal of green analytical chemistry (GAC) is to substitute hazardous materials or waste production

Green and efficient approach to extract bioactive flavonoids with antioxidant, antibacterial, antiglycation, and enzyme inhibitory activities from navel orange peel Sustain. Chem. Pharm. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 Chunling Lai, Meiling Huang, Qin Xiong, Yan Liang, Yueming Jiang, Jun Zhang
Numerous previous studies have reported the extraction of flavonoids from orange peels, but a green and efficient approach suitable for the large-scale industrial production of flavonoids with versatile and excellent biological activities is still lacking. To tackle this issue, two easily accessible extraction methods, namely heat reflux (HR) and ultrasonication (US), coupled with four solvents (95%

Pre-feasibility assessment to obtain an extract rich in hesperidin from orange peel: A comparison of extraction technologies conventional and non-conventional Sustain. Chem. Pharm. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Daissy Lorena Restrepo-Serna, Carlos Ariel Cardona-Alzate
The orange peel contains two polyphenolic compound groups: hydroxycinnamic acid and flavonoids, where the most prevalent are flavanones, such as hesperidin, which has many therapeutic properties. This work compared the solid:liquid, and supercritical fluid extraction to obtain hesperidin using orange peel as raw material and ethanol as solvent. Additionally, the technical and economic assessment of

Sensitive method for determination of benzoic acid in beverages and food samples using air–assisted hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction Sustain. Chem. Pharm. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Nail Altunay, Muhammad Farooque Lanjwani, Hameed Ul Haq, Mustafa Tuzen, Adil Elik
A simple, reliable and rapid air–assisted hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (AA-HDES-DLLME) was developed for analysis of benzoic acid in various beverages and food samples. The final determination stage was performed via UV–visible spectrophotometry. The key parameters (extraction time, HDES type and volume, dispersant volume, pH and sample volume) of

Determination of nitrogen-containing organic compounds in commercially available recycled cardboards intended for food contact applications Sustain. Chem. Pharm. (IF 6.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Ioanna-Efpraxia Parigoridi, Eleftheria Tsoumani, Konstantoula Akrida-Demertzi, Panagiotis G. Demertzis
In today’s Circular Economy, recycling, reuse, and recovery of materials are the most important components when it comes to solid waste management. Even though recyclable packaging materials such as plastic, paper, metal, and glass are traditionally used in the Food Industry as raw materials, recovered materials are also being incorporated in order to address the global waste problem. The challenge

Green roofs can act as a source or sink of physicochemical pollutants (pH, EC, and TSS), organic substances (BOD and COD), nutrients (NH, NO, TN, and TP), and metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn, K, Mg, and Ca). This study aims to examine the effects of organic additives, such as dried sewage sludge, sewage sludge biochar, food waste biochar, wood biochar and compost containing sewage sludge, on
