The formation of toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs) is among the main concerns in the use of chlorine sanitizers for washing fresh and fresh-cut produce to minimize microbial cross-contamination. Even so, robust analytical methods for measuring various DBPs in produce have

Attempts were made to define which fatty acid (2:0 to 18:1) was optimally oxidized by isolated colonocytes (colonic epithelial cells) and to select inhibitors of fatty acid oxidation which would be analogous in their action to the inhibition of fatty

Details are reported for the synthesis of S-(1-carboxyethyl)-L-cysteine (1-CEC) and S-(1-carboxypropyl)-L-cysteine (1-CPC) from cysteine and 2-bromopropionic acid or 2-bromobutyric acid, respectively. Some analytical data and the behaviour of these two compounds on paper and ion-exchange chromatography are also reported, which

Trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) are structurally similar chemicals that are metabolized through oxidation and glutathione conjugation pathways. Both chemicals have been shown to elicit liver and kidney toxicity in rodents and humans; however, TCE has been studied much more

The environmental occurrence of chlorinated acetic acids (CAAs) has been extensively studied, but the sources and transport are still not yet fully understood. A promising approach for source apportionment and process studies is the isotopic characterization of target compounds. We
