AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking help to access a specific PDF titled "Caffeine and Theobromine Levels in Cocoa and Carob Products" for a college project on HPLC analysis of chocolate, specifically theobromine. The user requests assistance in downloading or emailing the document, noting that soliciting copyrighted material is against forum rules. Suggestions include checking public libraries for access. Another participant discusses useful methods from the article, highlighting an improved HPLC method that effectively removes interfering cocoa pigments and offers efficient analysis times. The user expresses a need for a substantial number of references for their project, mentioning challenges in accessing patents and previously using shared login credentials to obtain some documents.

Didnt quite know where to post this topic.

Theres a pdf document that would be extremely helpful for my college project on HPLC analysis of chocolate (theobromine)

Its title is 'Caffeine and Theobromine Levels in Cocoa and Carob Products'

If anyone has an account (or maybe your college/university will have one) and can download/send it to be by e-mail that would be great!

Thanks

Greg

What in the article do you think you would find useful? There are methods for this analysis such as:

In the improved method, the interfering cocoa pigments are effectively removed by passing the aqueous extract through a Sep-pak C18 cartridge. Subsequent injection on a C18 reverse-phase column employing acetonitrile and water (20:80) as the mobile phase reduces the analysis time without affecting either resolution of the peak or the accuracy of caffeine and theobromine determination or achieving baseline resolution.

and

The HPLC method uses isocratic elution with a mobile phase of methanol–water–acetic acid (80:19:1) (v/v) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and UV absorbance detection at 275 nm. Total elution time for these analytes is less than 10 min, and the detection limit for all analytes is 0.1 mg/g.

cheers for that link chemisttree

Im not looking for anything specific, my lecturer just wants a large amount of references printed off that are relevant to my project. (like an inch thick of paper, eek!)
Unfortunately a lot of them are patents which are only available for a price or someone who has an account.

I'v managed to get some patents from springerlink because i found a username/password on a site called BugMeNot. They have some for blackwell synergy but they didnt seem to work for me.

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
