Quantitative determination of alpha-tocopherol distribution in a tributyrin/Brij 30/water model food emulsion

Until recently, determining the distribution of antioxidants, AOs, between the oil, interfacial and aqueous regions of opaque emulsions has not worked well because the concentrations of AOs in interfacial regions cannot be determined separately from their concentrations in the oil and water phases [...]

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Reaction between an Arenediazonium Ion and Methyl Gallate (=Methyl 3,4,5-Trihydroxybenzoate) in Aqueous Solution: Evidence for Diazo Ether Formation through an O-Coupling Reaction

We have investigated the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between 3-methylbenzenediazonium ions (3MBD) and methyl gallate (=methyl 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate; MG), in aqueous buffer solution by employing spectrophotometric (UV/VIS) and electrochemical (linear-sweep voltammetry, LSV) techniques [...]
