DETERMINATION OF RHODAMINE 6G WITH DIRECT IMMERSION SINGLE-DROP MICROEXTRACTION COMBINED WITH AN OPTICAL PROBE.

Determination of Rhodamine 6G with direct immersion single-drop microextraction combined with an optical probe.

The combination of an optical probe and single-drop direct immersion microextraction (DI-SDME-OP) was used for the preconcentration and subsequent spectrophotometric determination of rhodamine 6G (Rh6G).The developed method is based on the formation of an ionic associate between Rh6G and picric acid at pH 3.0 and its extraction with amyl acetate.A

Use of Probiotics to Control Biofilm Formation in Food Industries

Microorganisms tend to adhere to food contact surfaces and form biofilms, which serve as reservoirs for bacteria that can contaminate food.As part of a biofilm, bacteria are protected from the stressful conditions found during food processing and become tolerant to antimicrobials, including traditional chemical sanitisers and disinfectants.Several
