Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which are used as flame retardants, are widely used additives so many different kind of materials that are consumed by public. Current researches reveal a significant increase in the levels of PBDEs in human biological fluids all around the world. According to International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), PBDEs are declarated as carcinogenic agents and additionally a considerable risks have been shown in animal studies such as liver damage, alteration of thyroid hormone levels, neurotoxicity and hazardous effects on development of fetus. Due to the simplicity of human exposure routes such as ingestion, inhalation or dermal contact, it gains high importance to quantify PBDEs in biological fluids. The exposure to PBDEs is critic aspecially during pregnancy, fetus development and infancy. Excretion of PBDEs in human milk is the focus area for researchers in recent years.

Abstract Objective: Two simple, rapid and sensitive methods were developed for determination of Erdosteine (ERD) in pure form as well as in their pharmaceutical formulations. Methods: The methods were based on formation of colored charge transfer complexes with ERD with chloranil (CA) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). The obtained charge-transfer complexes were measured at 454 and 843 nm for CA and TCNQ methods, respectively. Optimization of different experimental conditions were investigated. Results: Beer's plots were obeyed in a general concentration range of 10-500 mu g mL(-1) and 20-600 mu g mL(-1) for CA and TCNQ methods, respectively. The validity of methods in terms of specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of detection and limit of quantitation were evaluated. Conclusion: The methods were applied successfully in the determination of ERD in capsule dosage forms. Developed new spectrophotometric methods have been found to be very practical and practical. The lack of complex sample preparation increases the applicability of the method.

Current scientific studies indicate that carotenoids (CRTDs) are beneficial for maintaining health and lowering the risk of different pathologies. Considering the increasing role of carotenoids in healthcare, determination of carotenoid content of foods become important. Mostly, the analytical procedures that are used for this aim, are based on extraction techniques followed by different analytical procedures, especially high performance liquid chromatography. In this publication, a review of various analytical techniques developed for the determination of carotenoids in different food commodities starting from 2006 up to now, has been presented.
