  • Title: Four-way kinetic-excitation-emission fluorescence data processed by multi-way algorithms. Determination of carbaryl and 1-naphthol in water samples in the presence of fluorescent interferents.
    Author: Maggio RM, Damiani PC, Olivieri AC.
    Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2010 Sep 16; 677(2):97-107. PubMed ID: 20837177.
    Abstract:
    Four-way data were obtained by recording the kinetic evolution of excitation-emission fluorescence matrices for samples containing the analytes carbaryl and 1-naphthol, two widely employed pesticides, in the concentration ranges 0-363 μg L(-1) and 0-512 μg L(-1), respectively. The reaction followed was the alkaline hydrolysis of carbaryl to produce 1-naphthol, a fact which introduced strong linear dependencies and multi-linearity losses in the analyzed system. Data processing was performed with unfolded partial least-squares combined with residual trilinearization (U-PLS/RTL) and also with a suitably initialized and restricted parallel factor model (PARAFAC), combined with calibration based on multi-linear regression. U-PLS/RTL is shown to be significantly simpler in its implementation and to provide similar figures of merit. The applied chemometric strategy is able to successfully determine the analytes in water samples containing uncalibrated interferences, such as other commonly employed agrochemicals and also a naturally occurring background signal.
