Diode Array Near Infrared Spectrometer Calibrations for Composition Analysis of Single Plant Canola (Brassica napus) Seed
摘要： A canola breeder needs an accurate, rapid, non-destructive method for analyzing seeds from a single plant to select the most promising samples for further breeding trials. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used for quantitative analysis of oilseeds in a non-destructive manner. This research was aimed at developing NIRS calibration models for single plant canola seed using a diode array NIRS (950-1650 nm wavelength range), multivariate prediction models, and a mirrored sample cup. Eighteen different NIRS calibration models were developed using 100 samples for each constituent with different pre-processing techniques (mean center, derivatives, variates) and models (PLS, PCR). The relative performance of different calibration models for each constituent was compared using R2, SEP, and ratio performance deviation (RPD) values obtained from the validation set of 30 samples. NIRS models developed using the PLS regression algorithm for moisture content (R2 = 0.97, SEP = 0.32, RPD = 6.13) and oil content (R2 = 0.84, SEP = 0.61, RPD = 4.16) were successful. However, acceptable NIRS models were not obtained for fatty acid and glucosinolates content likely due to limited variability and low levels of the constituent and a narrow wavelength range of the DA-NIR instrument.

Night-Time Oxidation of a Monolayer Model for the Air–Water Interface of Marine Aerosols—A Study by Simultaneous Neutron Reflectometry and in Situ Infra-Red Reflection Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS)
摘要： This paper describes experiments on the ageing of a monolayer model for the air–water interface of marine aerosols composed of a typical glycolipid, galactocerebroside (GCB). Lipopolysaccharides have been observed in marine aerosols, and GCB is used as a proxy for these more complex lipopolysaccharides. GCB monolayers are investigated as pure films, as mixed films with palmitic acid, which is abundant in marine aerosols and forms a stable attractively mixed film with GCB, particularly with divalent salts present in the subphase, and as mixed films with palmitoleic acid, an unsaturated analogue of palmitic acid. Such mixed films are more realistic models of atmospheric aerosols than simpler single-component systems. Neutron reflectometry (NR) has been combined in situ with Fourier transform infra-red reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) in a pioneering analysis and reaction setup designed by us specifically to study mixed organic monolayers at the air–water interface. The two techniques in combination allow for more sophisticated observation of multi-component monolayers than has previously been possible. The structure at the air–water interface was also investigated by complementary Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). This study looks specifically at the oxidation of the organic films by nitrate radicals (NO3?), the key atmospheric oxidant present at night. We conclude that NO3? oxidation cannot fully remove a cerebroside monolayer from the surface on atmospherically relevant timescales, leaving its saturated tail at the interface. This is true for pure and salt water subphases, as well as for single- and two-component films. The behaviour of the unsaturated tail section of the molecule is more variable and is affected by interactions with co-deposited species. Most surprisingly, we found that the presence of CaCl2 in the subphase extends the lifetime of the unsaturated tail substantially—a new explanation for longer residence times of materials in the atmosphere compared to lifetimes based on laboratory studies of simplified model systems. It is thus likely that aerosols produced from the sea-surface microlayer at night will remain covered in surfactant molecules on atmospherically relevant timescales with impact on the droplet’s surface tension and on the transport of chemical species across the air–water interface.

Differential response of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatocytes to oleic and palmitic acid revealed by Raman and CARS imaging
摘要： Excess circulating fatty acids contribute to endothelial dysfunction that subsequently aggravates the metabolic conditions such as fatty liver diseases. However, the exact mechanism of this event is not fully understood, and the investigation on the effect of a direct exposure to fatty acids together with their subsequent fate is of interest. In this work we employed a chemically specific and label-free techniques such as Raman and CARS microscopies, to investigate the process of lipid droplets (LDs) formation in endothelial cells and hepatocytes after exposure to oleic and palmitic acid. We aimed to observe the changes in the composition of LDs associated with metabolism and degradation of lipids. We were able to characterize the diversity in the formation of LDs in endothelium as compared to hepatocytes, as well as the differences in the formation of LDs and degradation manner with respect to the used fatty acid. Thus, for the first time the spectral characteristics of LDs formed in endothelial cells after incubation with oleic and palmitic acid is presented, including the time-dependent changes in their chemical composition.
