The first artificial sweetener, saccharin, was discovered by a chemist who was studying coal tar. This discovery marked a new era in synthetic food chemistry that introduced a large-scale addition of synthetic compounds to our diet. In industrialized countries like the United Kingdom, people ingest as much as 17.6 pounds (8 kilos) of food additives per year. What is this doing to our bodies? Learn the alarming truth in our Instaread on ULTRA-PROCESSED PEOPLE. https://lnkd.in/gwmMBX8e

today's #cyclodextrin:is highlighting a wonderful and imporant achievement from Aalborg University by Mads Koustrup JørgensenandThorbjørn Terndrup Nielsen who are combining cyclodextrin chemistry and membrane technology in a new filtration project. They hope to present an effective and economically sustainable method for removing #PFAS from our #drinkingwater within a few years."In short, by rinsing a membrane in a specific alcohol solution of cyclodextrins, we can make the cyclodextrins bind to the membrane surface, making it functional for PFAS absorption without the need for complex chemistry," says Mads Koustrup Jørgensen.Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/dnYF-pns

Fast and Flexible Automated Sample Extraction of #PCDD/Fs and #PCBs with X-TRACTION® for FOOD SamplesPersistent organic pollutants (#POPs) are highly toxic and persistent substances, which accumulate in the environment and pose risks on health. The analysis of POPs got increasingly important, since they have got regulated by the Stockholm Convention in 2001 and need to be monitored accordingly, leading to a huge growth in sample numbers and the need for standardized yet fast, automated and low-cost methods and instruments at the same time.From extraction to the GC vial: LCTech is your competent partner for the entire workflow to analyse dioxins, furans, #PCB, #PBDE, #PCN and #CP. Take a closer look at the outstanding automated solutions for all analytes in food, feed or environmental samples.To complete our existing automated sample preparation portfolio, we have launched an extraction system called X-Traction® by LCTech. Take a look at the following AppNote to learn about the extraction for Dioxin and PCB in different food samples. Read the #AppNote here: https://lnkd.in/ewjwAs8BThe advantages of the X-TRACTION system are clearly presented in our short product video: https://lnkd.in/eBFWRC66In particular, take a look at the heart of the X-TRACTION system: the unique extraction cell.
