      Nanocellulose as analyte and analytical tool – Opportunities and challenges
      Celia RUIZ, Laura SORIANO*, M. VALCARCEL (*Department of Analytical Chemistry, Marie Curie Building, Campus de Rabanales, University of Cordoba, 14071 Cordoba, Spain, qa2sodom@uco.es)

      Trends Anal. Chem. 87, 1-18 (2017). This review described the application of nanocellulose in analytical chemistry, including the use of electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibers as separation media in TLC for steroids in medical products. These nanofibers were resistant to protic solvents and some non-polar solvents. Interestingly, thinner plates were obtained using such nanofibers, lowering the limit of detection when compared with commercial silica plates.

      Hoffm. A review. J. Ethnopharmacol. 220, 294-320 (2018). Review of the phyto-constituents of Arctotis arctotoides, including the application of TLC and HPTLC for the analysis of steroids and acids, alcohol and phenolics, guaianolides, germacranolide, eudesmanolides, farnesol derivatives and sesquiterpenes. The review also described bio-autographic methods on TLC plates against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Shigella sonnei) bacteria.
