Abstract
Polyols or sugar alcohols are sugar-derived metabolites. The origin, metabolic fate and functions of most of them are not clear. The monitoring of polyols can be helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, especially those of unknown etiology. The main aim of the study was to develop and demonstrate the efficiency, reliability, sensitivity of the gas chromatography - electron capture detection method for the quantification of polyols: D-arabitol, ribitol and erythritol in urine. In the case of polyols there is a problem with the preparation of samples for analysis. Enrichment and separation of analytes and extract purification are difficult because of their relatively high polarity. That is why we have developed the method of sample preparation based on solid phase extraction with using non-porous graphitized carbon. The elaborated method was applied in autistic children in relation to the pentose phosphate pathway metabolism.

Advances of Heterocyclic Chemistry with Pesticide Activity
Global food safety and security will continue to be a global concern for the next 50 years and beyond. Plant diseases have had a significant impact on food safety and security throughout the entire food chain, from primary production to consumption. While conventional chemical pesticides have been traditionally used for ...read more
Calculation design of covalent/metal organic framework based catalysts
This research area combines theoretical computation and screening with machine learning for the design of covalent/metal organic framework-based catalysts, bridging the disciplines of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, materials science, and machine learning. It covers several critical aspects: designing and synthesizing organic catalysts for improved performance, applying computational methods ...read more
Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
