A four-variable regression model （M30） with the correlation coefficient of 0.9816 and the root mean square errors of 0.061 was developed using a training set including 30 PBDEs. The correlation coefficient of 0.9841 and the root mean square errors of 0.054 between the values of RRT predicted by M30 and the RRT observed for 16 external PBDEs show a good predictive potential of M30. The descriptors included in the M30 represent four interactions between four pairs of atom types, i.e., atom -C= and -C=, -C= and 〉C=, 〉C= and 〉C=, -C= and -Br.展开更多

Chemical descriptors were calculated from the molecular structure of CPs and related to their gas chromatographic RRTs by using multiple linear regression analysis. The proposed model had a multiple square correlation coefficient R 2=0.970, standard error SE =0.0472, and significant level P =0.0000. The QSRR model also reveals that the gas chromatographic relative retention times of CPs are associated with physicochemical property interactions with the stationary phase,and influenced by the number of chlorine and oxygen in the CP melecules.展开更多

In the present study, geometrical optimization and electrostatic potential calculations have been performed for 42 halogenated anisoles at the HF/6-31 G^＊ level. A number of statistically based parameters have been obtained. By multiple regression method, linear relationships between the gas-chromatographic relative retention time （RRT） and structural descriptors have been established for the training set of 32 halogenated anisoles. The result showed that the parameters derived from electrostatic potentials （ESPs） together with the molecular volume （Vmc） could be well used to express the quantitative structure-RRT relationships of halogenated anisoles. The best two-variable regression model gives a correlation coefficient of 0.980 and a standard deviation of 0.07, and the leave-one-out cross-validated correlation coefficient is 0.975. The goodness of the model has been further validated through exploring the predictive power for the testing set of 10 halogenated anisoles.展开更多

A genetic algorithm with twofold leave-multiple-out cross validation （LMOCV） was used to select optimal subsets from large-size molecular descriptors. Overall multiple-linear regression fitting correlation coefficients （R2） are greater than 0.988, except for the CP-Sil 19 colunm, in which Q^uocv （correlation coefficient of LMOCV）, Q^oocv （correlation coefficient of leave-one-out cross validation, LOOCV）, and Rp2re （correlation coefficients of prediction set） are larger than 0.98. The excellent statistical parameters reveal that the models are robust and have high internal and external predictive capability. According to the descriptors for constructing the models, the GC-RRTs in various stationary phases are highly dependent on distances among atoms, branches of molecules, and molecular properties. PBDE congeners with 1, 9, and 10 bromines are major outliers based on the results of the application domain.展开更多

Using RP-HPLC method, the individual retention times for nine naturally occurring ent-kaurane diterpene glycosides of S. rebaudiana reported in JECFA have been determined at four different temperatures: 20℃, 40℃, 60℃, and 79℃. Also, calculated the relative retention times of the eight steviol glycosides steviolbioside, stevioside, rubusoside, rebaudioside B, rebaudioside C, rebaudioside D, rebaudioside F, and dulcoside A against the major steviol glycoside rebaudioside A. HPLC results suggested that temperatures 40℃ and 60℃ would be ideal conditions for better separation of steviol glycosides.展开更多

Though various kinds of non-polar capillary columns are commercially available, the equality of their performance has not been verified. Herein, ninety-six additives for food contact plastics were analyzed using fifteen kinds of columns, and the peak separation, retention times, and peak areas of each additive were compared. The additives, with various chemical properties, comprised forty four plasticizers, twenty lubricants, twenty antioxidants, nine ultraviolet absorbers, and three other compounds. 10 μg.mL-1 test solutions were prepared in acetone, and injected to the GC/MS. The fifteen columns were classified into five categories based on the chromatogram pattern and peak separation. To facilitate comparison of the retention time and detection sensitivity of the columns for the additives, the relative retention time (RRT) and relative peak area (RPA) were calculated by using dibutylphthalate or 4-tert-butylphenylsalicylate as an internal standard. The RRTs of the additives on each column were essentially similar. However, the RRT of the additives which were detected in the later stages differed slightly. Although the RPA of the plasticizers and lubricants were roughly similar, column-to-column differences were observed for certain additives, such as antioxidants and ultraviolet absorbers. Furthermore, certain fatty acids, antioxidants, two plasticizers, and two benzophenone type ultraviolet absorbers were not detected in the chromatograms of two columns.展开更多
