Twenty-two allergy-induced aromatics in children were analyzed using a gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MSD). Analytes were extracted using an automatic Soxhlet extractor and centrifuged for 10 min in a fast freezing centrifuge, and the supernatant was transferred into a 2 mL vial and injected in split mode. Under the established conditions, the calibration curve showed linearity with a correlation coefficient of 0.996 or more. A wide range of sensitivity of 6.7 to 1,859,839 depending on the device characteristics and detector used was shown. The detection limit of the device was 0.0032 to $0.0335{\mu}g/mL$, and the maximum detection limit was less than $0.1{\mu}g/mL$. The detection limit of the method ranged from 0.0033 to $0.1161{\mu}g/mL$. In addition, the limit of quantification ranged from 0.0100 to $0.5422{\mu}g/mL$, with a level of precision ranging from 0.21 % to 4.89 % and a degree of accuracy ranging from 89 % to 111 %. The analytical method developed in this study was applied to commercial products.

Twenty-one allergy-induced aromatic material in children's products were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometer(GC-MSD). The analytes were extracted using an automatic Soxhlet extractor, centrifuged for 10 minutes in a fast freezing centrifuge, and the supernatant was filtered with a syringe filter and then transferred into a 2 mL vial and injected in a split mode. In the established condition, the calibration curve showed linearity with a determination coefficient of 0.9981 or more. Sensitivity was 0.3145 ~ 1.6757, which showed a fairly wide range of sensitivity for each substance. The detection limit of the device was 0.0016 ~ 0.0423 ㎍/mL and the maximum detection limit was less than 0.05 ㎍/mL. The method detection limit ranged from 0.0030 ~ 0.0589 ㎍/mL. In addition, the limit of quantification ranged from 0.0096 to 0.1876 ㎍/mL, with precision ranging from 0.41 to 10.49 % and accuracy ranging from 83 to 116 %. The analytical method developed in this study was applied to commercial products.

Information of body composition (fat and protein) in living animal is important to determine the nutrients requirement. Deuterium oxide (D2O) dilution techniques, as one of isotope dilution techniques have been useful for the prediction of body composition. However, the determination of D2O concentration is time consuming and complicated. Therefore this study was conducted to develop a new method to predict D2O concentration in plasma using near infrared spectroscopy technique (NIRS). Four dairy cows in early lactation were used. They were fed total mixed ration containing conr silage, timothy hay, and concentrates to make 17.0%CP and 14.0 MJDE/kgDM. Dosing D2O was at week 1,3 and 5 after parturition. After dosing D2O, the blood was collected from hour 0 to 72. Blood samples were then centrifuge at 3,000 rpm for 10 minutes to obtain plasma. D2O concentration was analyzed by gas chromatograph (deuterium oxide analyzable system, HK102, Shokotsusyou) after extracted from plasma by liophilization. Plasma sample was scanned by NIRS using Pacific Scientific (Neotec) model 6500 (Perstorp Analytical, Silver Spring, MD) in the range of wavelength from 1100 to 2500 nm. Calibration equation was developed using multiple linear regression. Sample from one animal (cow #550; n: 74) was used for developing the calibration while the rest three animals were used for validating the equation. The range, R and SEC of the calibration set samples were 135-925 ppm, 0.93 and 48.1 ppm, respectively. Validation of the calibration equation for three individual cows was done and the average of NIR predicted value of D2O at each collection time from three weeks injection showed a high correlation. The range, r and 53 of plasma from cow #474 were 322-840 ppm,0.93 and 53.1; cow #478 were 146-951 ppm,0.95 and 39.8; cow #942 were 313-885 ppm,0.95 and 37.2, respectively. Judgement of accuracy based on ratio of standard deviation and standard error in validation set samples (RPD) for cow #474, #478 and #942 were 2.2,4.3 and 3.4, respectively. The error in application due to the variation between individual was considered smaller than the bias from collection period, however, this prediction can be overcome with correction of standard zero-minute concentration of blood. The results of this preliminary study on the use of NIRS for determination of D2O in plasma showed very promising as shown by a convenient and satisfy accuracy. Further study on various physiological stage of animal should be done.
