Quali-Quantitative Characterization of Volatile and Non-Volatile Compounds in Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) Marchand Resin by GC-MS Validated Method, GC-FID and HPLC-HRMS2.

ABSTRACT: Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) Marchand (PH) trees are endemic to the tropical region of South America, mostly Brazil. Antibacterial, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, antidepressant and anti-hyperlipidemic/anti-hypercholesterolemic effects were reported for its resinous exudate Protiumheptaphyllum resin (PHR). This work aims to provide a qualitative and quantitative consistent chemical profiling of the major constituents of this resin and two extracts enriched in acid (acidic triterpene concentrated extract, ATCE) and neutral triterpenes (α and β-amyrin concentrated extract, AMCE). GC-MS/GC-FID was used for volatile terpene fraction, a validated GC-MS method was developed for quantification of neutral α and β-amyrin and HPLC-APCI HRMS2 was used for acidic triterpenes analysis. The chemical investigation reported 29 molecules, including 14 volatile terpenes, 6 neutral triterpenes and 11 acid triterpenes. The most abundant compounds were α-amyrin (251.28 g kg-1, 123.98 g kg-1 and 556.82 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively), β-amyrin (172.66 g kg-1, 95.39 g kg-1 and 385.58 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively), 3-oxo-tirucalla-7,24-dien-21-oic acid (80.64 g kg-1, 157.10 g kg-1 and 15.31 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively) and 3α-hydroxy-tirucalla-8,24-dien-21-oic acid (77.71 g kg-1, 130.40 g kg-1 and 11.64 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively). Results showed specific enrichment of acidic and neutral triterpenoids in the two respective extracts.

Project description:Diesel has been the most employed fuel in highway and nonhighway transportation systems. Many studies over the past years have attempted to classify diesel as a stable or unstable composition since this fuel can still degrade during storage or thermal oxidative processes. Products generated because of such degradation are the reason for the formation of soluble gums and insoluble organic particulates, which in turn cause a negative influence on engine performance. This work reports a detailed composition of nonpolar and polar compounds in many ultralow-sulfur diesel (ULSD) samples by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC × GC-FID) and electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (ESI HR-MS). In addition, chemometric approaches were applied for ULSD storage stability investigation. GC × GC-FID experiments achieved the nonpolar chemical characterization for the ULSD samples, including all main hydrocarbon classes: paraffins, mono- and dinaphthenics and olefins, and aromatics. The GC × GC-FID data combined with principal component analysis (PCA) described that the separation of the samples' concerning storage stability was mainly due to the contents of mono- and diaromatic compounds in the unstable ULSD samples. Moreover, PCA was also applied to the ESI (±) data set, and the results highlight the presence of compounds belonging to O class (natural antioxidants), which decrease the rate of oxygen consumption in the fuel, characterizing it as stable composition. The basic nitrogen compounds are mostly present in the stable ULSD samples indicating that they did not affect the stability of the fuel. On the other hand, the HC classes presented pronounced abundance among unstable ULSD samples suggesting that the fuel degradation may go through the oxidation of hydrocarbons and the formation of Ox compounds as byproducts. Furthermore, MS/MS experiments point to the formation of CcHhNnOo-like precursor species, which can react with each other and lead to the formation of gums and insoluble sediments in the fuel. In summary, the results express the potential of using the GC × GC-FID and ESI (±) Orbitrap MS techniques as valuable tools for diesel stability evaluations.
