Aujourd'hui, la gestion du risque en milieu profesionnel ainsi que l'évaluation de l'exposition aux polluants, tels que les Composés Organiques Volatils (COV) présents dans l'air deviennent une nécessité tant la qualité de l'air des lieux de travail peut être à l'origine de problèmes de santé ou de maladies professionnelles reconnues. Dans le but de répondre à ces exigences de sécurité, l'Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 a institutionnalisé et développé une Cellule Analyse Hygiène Sécurité et Environnement en lien direct avec le service SHS préexistant. Cette cellule est chargée de la mise en place d'une méthodologie de surveillance de la qualité de l'air intérieur de l'ensemble des locaux de l'université (14 sites, environ 80 laboratoires) en accord avec le code du travail et de l'environnement. Afin de pouvoir assurer l'ensemble des analyses inhérentes aux lieux de travail, le SHS a défini 45 composés comme prioritaires ajoutés à la liste du SHS et portent à 93 le nombre de COV identifiés et quantifiés. La méthode de séparation et d'identification mise en place permet d'atteindre des limites de quantification largement inférieures aux VLCT et VLEP 8 heures fixées par la législation. Des campagnes de prélèvement ont pu ainsi être organisées en collaboration avec le SHS et être lancées au sein de l'université / Over the past 10 years, indoor air quality has become a real Health and Safety concern, especialty in the workplace, which has led to the legislation proposal of concentrations guidelines for pollutants such as Volatiles Organic Compounds (VOC). To comply with the Safety requirements, The Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 has institutionalized and developed an Environment, Health and Safety Unit (HSE Unit), to provide the analyses for the Health and Safety team (SHS). This specialist unit has developed a supervision methodology to control the indoor air quality in all the buildings of the university, including all the 80 research and training laboratories. In order to carry out the assessment, the SHS team defined 45 compounds classified as priority, according to their threshold limit values (TLV-TWA or TLV-STEL) to the workers. To this list of 45 VOC another list containing 48 VOC is added. Evaluation of the trapping capacity of each sorbent, for a mix containing 93 VOC has been studied. Moreover, separation and identification methods were developed and optimized allowing to reach a quantification limit lower than professional limit value exposure. Using these methods and the results of the trapping comparisons, different applications were implemented, such as sampling campaigns in different laboratories

De tous temps, les Pinacées ont été utilisés pour leur résine ou le goudron que l’on peut en tirer, principalement dans le domaine maritime (calfatage, protection des cordages) et pour le poissage d’amphores. Ces travaux ont été consacrés au développement de nouveaux outils moléculaires et isotopiques pour la caractérisation de tels matériaux trouvés en contexte archéologique (distinction goudron / résine, origine taxonomique et géographique, modes de fabrication). Sur la base des outils développés, il apparait que l’utilisation de goudron prévaut dans ce contexte sur celle de résine et que les Pinus, dont les espèces peuvent être partiellement discriminées, sont les principaux Pinacées utilisés. Il a aussi pu être montré que les matériaux de calfatage et d’enduits de cordages sont globalement issus d’une cuisson moins poussée que ceux utilisés dans le poissage de récipients. Une distinction des échantillons archéologiques sur la base de leur composition isotopique en D a été proposée. / Resins and tars of Pinaceae have been used in the past mainly in the maritime field (caulking, protection of the ropes) and for the waterproofing of jars and amphorae. This study was devoted to the development of new molecular and isotopic tools for the characterization of such materials found in archaeological context (discrimination between tar / resin, taxonomic and geographical origin, manufacturing methods). Based on the detailed molecular and isotopic investigation of diterpenic compounds, in particular, it appears that the use of tar prevails in this context over that of resin and that trees from the genus Pinus, which can be partially discriminated in terms of species, have been preferentially used. It could be shown that the caulking material and the tar protecting ropes result overall from a less intense heating process than the material used to waterproof containers. A distinction of the archaeological samples on the basis of their isotopic composition in D was proposed.

Contrairement à l’analyse ciblée des composés volatils du vin par chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse (GC-MS), les approches par GC-MS non ciblées prennent en compte les composés connus et inconnus. Ces méthodes sont plus rapides et fournissent une représentation plus complète de la composition de l’échantillon. Bien que plusieurs approches non-ciblées aient été développées, il y a encore une forte demande d’outils automatisés pour le traitement des données, en particulier pour les données multidimensionnelles complexes telles que celles de multiples chromatogrammes GC-MS. Ce travail visait à développer deux nouvelles approches chimiométriques pour l’analyse des données GC-MS non ciblées. Ces approches prennent en considération les décalages de temps de rétention entre les échantillons et rendent inutile l’intégration des pics. Elles ont été testées avec un jeu de données GC-MS simulées et un jeu de données GC-MS réelles d’échantillons de vin. De plus, l’une des deux approches GC-MS non ciblée a été combinée à la technique d’analyse sensorielle rapide de "projective mapping". Cette méthodologie a été utilisée pour étudier l’impact de la fermentation malolactique sur des vins issus du cépage Pinotage ainsi que l’effet de l’âge de la vigne, de la turbidité du moût et de la souche de levure sur l’arôme de vins de Riesling expérimentaux. / In contrast to targeted gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of wine volatiles, non-targeted GC-MS approaches take information of known and unknown compounds into account, are faster, inherently more comprehensive and give a more holistic representation of the sample composition. Although several non-targeted approaches have been developed, there is still a great demand for automated data processing tools, especially for complex multi-way data such as chromatographic data obtained from multichannel detectors (e.g. GC-MS chromatograms of multiple samples). This work therefore aimed at the development of data processing procedures for non-targeted GC-MS analysis of volatile wine compounds. The two developed approaches use basic matrix manipulation of segmented GC-MS chromatograms and PCA or PARAFAC multi-way modelling. The approaches take retention time shifts between samples into account and avoid peak integration. A demonstration of the new fingerprinting approaches is presented using an artificial GC-MS data set and an experimental full-scan GC-MS data set obtained for a set of experimental wines. Results of the new approaches were also compared to a references method. Furthermore, the combination of one of the developed GC-MS fingerprinting approaches with the fast sensory screening technique projective mapping was exploited as a powerful approach to simultaneously study the volatile composition and the sensory characteristics of experimental wines. This methodology was used to study the impact of different malolactic fermentation scenarios on two different Pinotage wine styles and for a full factorial investigation of the impact of grape vine age, must turbidity and yeast strain on the aroma of Riesling experimental wines.

L’étude du lien entre l’exposition de l’Homme aux substances chimiques, notamment via son alimentation,et sa santé est un sujet de préoccupation majeure dans notre société qui présente des challenges multiples.Nous nous sommes attelés à l’un d’entre eux par la production de données analytiques fiables relatives à la contamination des denrées alimentaires et des fluides biologiques humains. Le développement de méthodes analytiques reposant sur des technologies en rupture, à même de s’adresser aux paris de la mesure de composés chimiques émergents (e.g. les retardateurs de flamme bromés) ou historiques mais sous le prisme de la sensibilité et du haut débit (e.g. les stéroïdes, les pesticides organochlorés, les dioxines et les polychlorobiphényles) a été au cœur de ce travail. Le couplage GC/APCI/MS sur système triple quadripolaire s’est imposé au cours de nos évaluations. L’association de la chromatographie en phase gazeuse et de l’ionisation chimique à pression atmosphérique a apporté un gain en sélectivité remarquable comparée aux approches traditionnellement retenues dans le domaine et a autorisé l’exploration des ultra-traces dans des matrices biologiques complexes. Cette géométrie nous a permis d’innover en pratiquant des séparations rapides sur colonne capillaire ultra-courte de 2,5 m. La vitesse de balayage et l’excellente sensibilité de l’analyseur de masse nous ont en outre donné accès à une analyse quantitative fiable et multi-paramètres. Ce travail ouvre d’excellentes perspectives vis-à-vis de la production de données d’exposition externe et interne élargies en réponse aux défis à venir entourant la caractérisation de l’exposome Humain. / The study of the link between Human exposure tochemical substances (notably via his food the intake) and Health, is a major concern in our society and poses many challenges. We endeavoured to address one of them by producing reliable analytical data on foodstuffs and human biological fluids contamination. The development of analytical methods based on breakthrough technologies, capable of challenging theemerging (e.g. brominated flame retardants) or historical compounds measurement but through the prism of sensitivity and high throughput (e.g. steroids,organochlorine pesticides, dioxins andpolychlorobiphenyls), was at the heart of our work.Using a GC/APCI/MS with a triple quadripole systememerged as a favorable choice as our evaluations progressed. The association of gas chromatography and atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation brought in a remarkable gain in terms of selectivity, compared to the approaches traditionally selected in this field, andauthorized ultra-trace exploration in complex biologicalmatrices. This geometry allowed us to innovate by performing fast separations on an ultra-short 2.5 mcolumn. Besides, the mass analyser scan speed and high sensitivity gave us access to a reliable and multiparameters quantitative analysis. This work opens up excellent perspectives for the production of expanded external and internal exposure data to meet the future challenges surrounding Human exposome characterisation.

A forma mais comum de tratamento para essas doenças envolve a aplicação de fungicidas sintéticos. Contudo, nos últimos anos, a demanda por tratamentos alternativos tem crescido, com destaque para o uso de biopesticidas, produtos desenvolvidos a partir de plantas, microrganismos e insetos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a presença dos compostos bioativos (4Z)-lachnophyllum lactona, (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactona e (2Z,8Z)-matricaria ester nos espécimes brasileiros da planta Conyza canadensis, bem como avaliar a atividade antifúngica dessas substâncias isoladas contra diversos fungos associados a doenças pós-colheita de frutas. Por cromatografia flash preparativa foi possível isolar a (4Z)-lachnophyllum lactona e a (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactona a partir de extratos da planta obtidos com diclorometano. Os compostos foram caracterizados por GC-MS/MS, NMR 1H e 13C, 1H-1H COSY e 1H-13C HSQC. Foram realizados ensaios de difusão em disco com 10 fungos filamentosos causadores de doenças pós-colheita em frutas. Os fungos Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium spp. e Penicillium digitatum se mostraram susceptíveis ao tratamento e, para eles, a concentração mínima inibitória dos compostos variou de 32 a 64 µg mL-1. Também foi desenvolvido um método de extração empregando água quente pressurizada, no qual foram otimizados os parâmetros de temperatura (100 °C), tempo de ciclo (1 min) e número de ciclos (quatro). Com essa técnica foi possível obter um rendimento de 1,46 mg g-1 e 0,24 mg g-1 para a (4Z)-lachnophyllum lactona e a (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactona, respectivamente. O extrato aquoso da Conyza canadensis pode ser aplicado diretamente nos frutos com a vantagem de não conter resíduos de solventes orgânicos tóxicos / Abstract: razil is one of the largest fruit producers in the world. Nevertheless, it is estimated that postharvest diseases can lead to losses of up to 50% in its production. The most common treatment for these diseases involves the application of synthetic fungicides. Nonetheless, in recent years, the demand for alternative treatments has increased, especially for the use of biopesticides, products developed from plants, microorganisms and insects. This study aimed to investigate the presence of the bioactive compounds (4Z)-lachnophyllum lactone, (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactone and (2Z,8Z)-matricaria ester in Brazilian specimens of the weed Conyza canadensis, as well as to evaluate the antifungal activity of these isolated substances against several fungi associated with postharvest diseases of fruits. With the use of preparative flash chromatography it was possible to isolate (4Z)-lachnophyllum lactone and (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactone from plant extracts obtained with dichloromethane. The compounds were characterized by GC-MS/MS, NMR 1H e 13C, 1H-1H COSY and 1H-13C HSQC. Disk diffusion assays were performed in order to investigate the activity of the isolated compounds against 10 filamentous fungi regarded as common postharvest pathogens of fruits. Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium spp. and Penicillium digitatum proved susceptible to the treatment and, for them, the minimum inhibitory concentration of the compounds varied from 32 to 64 µg mL-1. An extraction method using pressurized hot water was also developed, in which the parameters of temperature (100 ° C), cycle time (1 min) and number of cycles (four) were optimized. By using this technique, it was possible to obtain a yield of 1.46 mg g-1 and 0.24 mg g-1 for the (4Z)-lachnophyllum lactone and (4Z,8Z)-matricaria lactone, respectively. The aqueous extract of Conyza canadensis can be applied directly on fruits with the advantage of not containing residues of toxic organic solvents / Mestrado / Quimica Analitica / Mestre em Química

A method to detect nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) in the air has been developed using gas chromatography with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation source, coupled to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-APCI-MS/MS). An attempt to create a GC method using negative chemical ionisation (NCI) and a high-resolution mass spectrometer, Orbitrap, (GC-NCI-MS) was made as well without success. Nitro-PAHs are a group of widespread contaminants considered as possible mutagens and carcinogens. They are formed from incomplete combustion of organic matter as well as secondary reactions between PAHs and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air. Three air samples (outdoor, in an air vent and indoor), both particulate and gaseous phase, collected in central Örebro during the spring were extracted and analysed for nitro-PAHs on GC-APCI-MS/MS and for PAHs on GC-MS in EI (electron ionisation) mode. Several studies have reported lower amounts of nitro-PAHs than PAHs in the air, which can be seen in this report as well. The levels of detected nitro-PAHs (1-nitronaphalene and 9-nitroanthracene) and PAHs (naphthalene, anthracene, fluoranthene and pyrene) in the different samples were 10.2-119 pg/m3 and 291-77700 pg/m3, respectively. Neither group of analytes were found in the particulate phase. The highest concentrations of both nitro-PAHs and PAHs were found indoors, suggesting that other sources than emissions from traffic are responsible.

ASTM D3241 (Standard Test Method for Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels) measures the thermal oxidative stability of jet fuels under elevated temperature and pressure conditions. When jet fuels fail ASTM D3241, either at the refinery or in the distribution system, there can be supply disruptions and financial losses. Understanding the causes of poor thermal oxidative stability in jet fuels could help prevent or mitigate issues. In order to develop a deeper understanding of the molecular precursors that lead to ASTM D3241 failures, a number of analytical methodologies and data treatment techniques have been developed, applied, and reported here. Statistical analysis of LC/MS ESI data from jet fuels with varying thermal oxidative stabilities allows for the identification of molecules that are significant to ASTM D3241 failures. Differential statistical analysis of LC/MS ESI data from jet fuels before and after thermal oxidative stressing in a QCM reactor elucidates which significant molecules are being consumed during oxidation and which molecules are increasing in abundance. The analysis of thermal oxidative deposits that form during thermal oxidative stressing in the QCM reactor allows for the insight into the molecular components of the deposits. Attapulgus clay removes the polar molecules that lead to thermal oxidative stability issues in the refinery. Extraction of Attapulgus clay that has been used in a refinery to filter jet fuel with a series of solvents removes the polar molecules into a series of fractions. The subsequent analysis of the fractions by comprehensive GCxGC/MS leads to the identification of the different homologous series of molecules that are removed by the clay. The analyses developed and employed here are shown to be particularly useful for the analysis of trace polar nitrogen and oxygen containing molecules. Similar homologous series of molecules are identified across all of the different analyses. It is also clear from some of the analyses, along with previously reported data in the literature, that reactive sulfur-containing molecules are significant to poor thermal oxidative stability as measured by ASTM D3241 and to the formation of thermal oxidative deposits. There is still an opportunity to find methodologies to better characterize the sulfur species present and correlate them to the data that is reported here.

The grape is one of the oldest cultivated plants. It can be consumed as a fruit or it can be used as a raw material for making stews, juices or the cultivated drink – wine. Generations of wine-makers have been striving to improve both the cultivating conditions of vineyards and the quality of wine. Many harmful elements, such as herbivorous pests, diseases and storms are important factors that can have a negative impact on crop quality. To regulate the effects of these factors, an integrated protection system is used, incorporating agronomical measures, resistant varieties and a wide spectrum of pesticides. However, increasing the usage of pesticides brings certain dangers to both the production quality and the environment. This necessitates the monitoring of the negative effects, including the content of pesticide residues in the grapes. My thesis studies and experimentally assesses selected pesticide residues in certain wine samples.

The diploma thesis will be focuses on the isolation of fragrances of natural origin by steam vapor distillation, ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction and pressure solvent extraction.

Demands for plant-based diets sufficient in all required amino acids are increasing due to health and environmental advantages. As legumes offer a complementing source of quality protein to the already heavily consumed cereals, methods for determining amino acid compositions in legumes are needed. The aim of this thesis was to establish a GC-FID method for analyzing amino acids in legumes and to apply the method to analyze six locally grown legumes: Black beans, brown beans, red kidney beans, white beans, yellow and grey peas. White bean flour was used as an inhouse control sample. Legumes were hydrolyzed with acid and alkaline treatments;hydrolysates were purified and derivatized using an amino acid analysis kit (EZ:faast, Phenomenex) and quantified with GC-FID. All legumes were rich in Asp + Asn, Glu + Gln, Lys and Leu while limited in Met, Cys and Trp. Quality control trials showed a generally good precision of the method (between day CVs were ≤ 10% for 12 of 16amino acids ) and good linearity (r2 were 0,99 or above for 16 of 19 calibration curves). Limits of detection and quantification ranged from 2-46 nmol/mL and 7-154nmol/mL, respectively, depending on the amino acid. No accuracy trial was performed. In conclusion, a rapid GC-FID method for amino acid analysis was established and amino acid compositions of locally grown legumes was tentatively determined. However, further quality control trials are required to validate the method. / Efterfrågan av växt-baserade dieter med komplett innehåll av aminosyror ökar på grund av både hälso- och miljömässiga fördelar. Då baljväxter erbjuder en kompletterande källa till protein av hög kvalitet till cerealier, som redan konsumeras i hög grad, krävs metoder för att analysera aminosyra innehåll i baljväxter. Målet med detta arbete var att etablera en GC-FID metod för att analysera aminosyror i baljväxter och att applicera metoden för att analysera aminosyror för att analysera sex lokala baljväxter: Svarta bönor, bruna bönor, röda kidney bönor, vita bönor, gula och gråa ärtor. Mjöl på vita bönor användes som in-house kontroll prov. Baljväxterna hydrolyserades med både syra och bas behandlingar, hydrolysaterna renades och derivatiserades med ett kit för aminosyraanalys (EZ:faast, Phenomenex) och kvantifierades med GC-FID. Alla baljväxter hade höga halter av Asp + Asn, Glu + Gln, Lys och Leu men låga halter av Met, Cys och Trp. Kvalitetskontroller visade på en generellt hög precision (CV mellan dagar ≤ 10% för 12 av 16 aminosyror) och god linjäritet (r2var 0,99 eller högre för 16 av 19 kalibreringskurvor). Detektions- och kvantifierings-gränser varierade mellan 2-46 nmol / mL respektive 7 – 154 nmol / mL beroende på aminosyran. Inga tester gjordes för att bestämma metodens riktighet.Slutsatsen drogs att en snabb GC-FID metod för aminosyra analys har framtagits och indikativa värden av lokala baljväxters aminosyra innehåll fastställts. Däremot krävs flera kvalitetskontroller för att validera metoden.
