Ascentis® Express 160 Å C30 is a high-speed, high-performance liquid chromatography column based on the wider-pore 160 Å Fused-Core® particle design to provide adequate spacing for the long-chain C30 ligands. The particle provides a thin porous shell of high-purity silica surrounding a solid silica core. This particle design exhibits very high column efficiency due to the shallow diffusion paths in the 0.5 μm thick porous shell and the small overall particle size of 2.7 μm. The endcapped triacontylsilane stationary phase of the C30 provides a stable, reversed-phase packing that can be used for hydrophobic, long-chain, structural isomers such as vitamins and lipids.
The present study report on the application of an on line supercritical fluid extraction-supercritical fluid chromatography-triple quadrupole/mass spectrometry methodology to the first apocarotenoids profiling of seventeen different chilli peppers cultivars belonging to Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum and Capsicum chinense species.
Both enzymatic or oxidative carotenoids cleavages can often occur in nature and produce a wide range of bioactive apocarotenoids. Considering that no detailed information is available in the literature regarding the occurrence of apocarotenoids in microalgae species, the aim of
