Graduale (MS Coll. 762.3)

A Lutheran gradual copied apparently by one scribe at the end of the sixteenth century and probably repaired (fol. 29) in the beginning of the seventeenth century.

Graduale (MS C.ö.III.17)

A Lutheran gradual from Kalanti. As covers used a fragment of the Liturgical calendar of the Diocese of Turku, Saec. XIV 2/2, Diocese of Turku.

Legendarium (MS C.ö.I.1)

Much of the manuscript is taken up by a collection Sunday sermons and by a selection from Legenda Aurea. The manuscript features several scribes and may be a result of compiling text from different sources.

Summa Theologiae (MS Coll. 762.2)

An abridgement or selections from Thomas Aquinas, Summa theologiae. The text strongly modifies and abridges the original.

Sermones de tempore et de sanctis (MS C.ö.I.6)

Complete critical and codicological description of the book and its contents available in the Codices Fennici -database.

Missale (MS C.ö.IV.7, "Oripään missale I")

Complete critical and codicological description of the book and its contents available in the Codices Fennici -database.

Kyriale, Sequentiarium (MS C.ö.I.23)

A graduale and a sequentiarium were copied in the reformation period for use in the Diocese of Turku, possibly in Raisio. The graduale in Finnish appears to depend on Jacobus Finno's hymnbook of 1586, whereas the sequentiarium is probably somewhat older, possibly even coeval with Mathias Westh's liturgical codex (1540's). The present fragments probably come from at least two (possibly three) originally distinct books or booklets.

Antiphonarium (MS C.ö.III.22, "Pöytyän antifonarium")

A Lutheran copy of a Dominican antiphonary, copied with modifications some time after the middle of the sixteenth century. The very selective sanctoral reflects Lutheran tastes, with only biblical saints (and possibly St Henry).

Tractatus (MS D.II.46)

Complete critical and codicological description of the book and its contents available in the Codices Fennici -database.

Magnus Erikssons stadslag et al. (MS F.ö.V.25)

A collection of laws prepared copied ca. 1591 by a Mathias Erici from Rauma, perhaps a judge or a teacher.

Antiphonarium (MS C.ö.III.20, "Michael Ericin antifonarium")

A copy of a Dominican antiphonary produced for Lutheran use in the second half of the sixteenth century. The sanctoral reflects Lutheran tastes, with St Henry, the patron of Finland, being the only non-biblical saint.

Graduale (MS A.ö.II.41, "Graduale Uskelense")

Complete critical and codicological description of the book and its contents available in the Codices Fennici -database.

(E)-2-Nonenal determination in brazilian beers using headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatographic coupled mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS)

(E)-2-nonenal is considered an important off-flavor of beer, related to the flavor of beer staling. In this study, a new method for determination of (E)-2-nonenal in beer using headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatographic coupled mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was developed and applied in Brazilian beer samples. The extractions were carried out in CAR-PDMS (carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane) fiber and the best results were found with 15 minutes of equilibrium and 90 minutes of extraction at 50 °C. The method was linear in the range from 0.02 to 4.0 μg.L-1 with correlation coefficient of 0.9994. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.01 and 0.02 μg.L-1, respectively. 96.5% of recovery and 4% precision (RSD) were obtained in the fortification of beer samples with 2.0 μg.L-1 of (E)-2-nonenal. The developed method proved to be simple, efficient and highly sensitive to the determination of this analyte being easily applied in the quality control of the brewery. (E)-2-nonenal was found in all beer samples analyzed with levels between 0.17 and 0.42 μg.L-1.

Optimization of the HS-SPME-GC/MS technique for determining volatile compounds in red wines made from Isabel grapes (Vitis labrusca)

Abstract Brazilian wine production is characterized by Vitis labrusca grape varieties, especially the economically important Isabel cultivar, with over 80% of its production destined for table wine production. The objective of this study was to optimize and validate the conditions for extracting volatile compounds from wine with the solid-phase microextraction technique, using the response surface method. Based on the response surface analysis, it can be concluded that the central point values maximize the process of extracting volatile compounds from wine, i.e., an equilibrium time of 15 minutes, an extraction time of 35 minutes, and an extraction temperature of 30 °C. Esters were the most numerous compounds found under these extraction conditions, indicating that wines made from Isabel cultivar grapes are characterized by compounds that confer a fruity aroma; this finding corroborates the scientific literature.

Development of a rapid method for the determination of antibiotic residues in honey using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS

Abstract An accurate, reliable and fast multianalyte/multiclass ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous analysis of 23 pharmaceuticals, belonging to different classes amphenicols, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, in honey samples. The method developed consists of ultrasonic extraction followed by UPLC–ESI–MS/MS with electrospray ionization in both positive mode and negative mode. The influence of the extraction solvents and mobile phase composition on the sensitivity of the method, and the optimum conditions for sample weight and extraction temperature in terms of analyte recovery were extensively studied. The identification of antibiotics is fulfilled by simultaneous use of chromatographic separation using an Acquity BEH C18 (100 mm x 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) analytical column with a gradient elution of mobile phases and tandem mass spectrometry with an electrospray ionization. Finally, the method developed was applied to the determination of target analytes in honey samples obtained from the local markets and several beekeepers in Muğla, Turkey. Ultrasonic-extraction of pharmaceuticals from honey samples is a well-established technique by UPLC–ESI–MS/MS, the uniqueness of this study lies in the simultaneous determination of a remarkable number of compounds belonging to 23 drug at the sub-nanogram per kilogram level.
