Abstract
The masking of specific effects in in vitro assays by cytotoxicity is a commonly known phenomenon. This may result in a partial or complete loss of effect signals. For common in vitro assays, approaches for identifying and quantifying cytotoxic masking are partly available. However, a quantification of cytotoxicity-affected signals is not possible. As an alternative, planar bioassays that combine high-performance thin layer chromatography with in vitro assays, such as the planar yeast estrogen screen (p-YES), might allow for a quantification of cytotoxically affected signals. Affected signals form a typical ring structure with a supressed or completely lacking centre that results in a double peak chromatogram. This study investigates whether these double peaks can be used for fitting a peak function to extrapolate the theoretical, unaffected signals. The precision of the modelling was evaluated for four individual peak functions, using 42 ideal, undistorted peaks from estrogenic model compounds in the p-YES. Modelled ED50-values from bisphenol A (BPA) experiments with cytotoxically disturbed signals were 13 times higher than for the apparent data without compensation for cytotoxicity (320 ± 63 ng versus 24 ± 17 ng). This finding has a high relevance for the modelling of mixture effects according to concentration addition that requires unaffected, complete dose-response relationships. Finally, we applied the approach to results of a p-YES assay on leachate samples of an elastomer material used in water engineering. In summary, the fitting approach enables the quantitative evaluation of cytotoxically affected signals in planar in vitro assays and also has applications for other fields of chemical analysis like distorted chromatography signals.

Abstract
This study describes a robust chromatographic authentication methodology for herbaceous pollen, employing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance thin liquid chromatography (HPTLC) protocols. The comprehensive profiling of organic compounds not only distinguishes between different botanical sources but also establishes a reliable framework for quality control and assessment of herbaceous pollen authenticity. Traces of quercetin were detectable using HPTLC in Chaenomeles japonica, and the composition of the mobile phase led to distinct phenolic acid tracks in the extracts of free phenolic compounds. In Lonicera nummulariifolia, prominent chlorogenic acid signal and traces of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid were identified, along with the presence of vanillic, trans-ferulic, p-coumaric and p-hydroxybenzoic and sinapic as phenolic acid standards. The HPLC chromatogram identified six peaks representing bioactive phenolic compounds such as gallic acid measuring 5.89 ± 0.56 mg g-1, hydroxybenzoic acid 2.39 ± 0.78 mg g-1 and caffeic acid 2.83 ± 0.11 mg g-1. The combined use of GC-MS, HPTLC and HPLC techniques provides a powerful and reliable means of authenticating the botanical origin of herbaceous pollen, offering valuable insights for quality control and ensuring the accuracy of botanical source identification.

Abstract
The advantages of hyperspectral imaging in videodensitometry are presented and discussed with the example of extracts from 70 Polish grasses. An inexpensive microscope camera was modified to cover the infrared spectrum range, and then 11 combinations of illumination (254 nm, 366 nm, white light), together with various filters (no filter, IRCut, UV, cobalt glass, IR pass), were used to register RGB HDR images of the same plate. It was revealed that the resulting 33 channels of information could be compressed into 5-6 principal components and then visualized separately as grayscale images. We also propose a new approach called principal component artificial coloring of images (PCACI). It allows easy classification of chromatographic spots by presenting three PC components as RGB channels, providing vivid spots with artificial colors and visualizing six principal components on two color images. The infrared region brings additional information to the registered data, orthogonal to the other channels and not redundant with photos in the visible region. This is the first published attempt to use a hyperspectral camera in TLC and it can be clearly concluded that such an approach deserves routine use and further attention.

Abstract
AbstractThe advantages of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging in videodensitometry are presented and discussed on the example of Gentiana extract thin-layer fingerprints visualized under 254 nm. An inexpensive microscope camera, together with security surveillance lens, mounted instead of original camera on videodensitometry chamber, allows to grab HDR images with high tonal range using Python scripts and OpenCL library. HDR imaging preserves linearity in whole tonal range and does not destroy details in the brightest and darkest plate regions, so it can be seen as a good alternative to classical videodensitometry. Moreover, the tonemapping of HDR images can be used to present a plate photograph with enhanced visibility of weak spots and other details. Principal component analysis done on nine classic exposures and HDR image proves that HDR image contains the highest amount of extracted information from the thin-layer chromatographic plate.

Abstract
Radix Aconiti, also known as Tie-bang-chui (TBC), Pang-a-na-bao, and Bang-na, is a typical aconitum Tibetan medicine and a perennial herb of the genus Aconitum pendulum Busch. and A. flavum Hand. -Mazz. dry roots. It has high toxicity and remarkable efficacy; as such, it is a typical "highly toxic and effective" drug that needs be processed and used. Processing methods of this Tibetan medicine include non-heating of highland barley wine (HBW) and fructus chebulae soup (FCS). This work aimed to understand differences in chemical composition between non-heat processed products and raw TBC. In this study, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) were used to analyze the chemical composition of TBC processed by FCS (F-TBC) and HBW (H-TBC). The MRM mode of HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS was selected to determine the changes of several representative alkaloids to comparison with the former results. A total of 52 chemical constituents were identified in raw and processed products, and the chemical composition of F-TBC and H-TBC changed slightly compared with that of raw TBC. The processing mechanism of H-TBC was also different from that of F-TBC, which might be related to the large amount of acidic tannins in FCS. It was found that the content of all six alkaloids decreased after processing by FCS, and all five alkaloids decreased except aconitine increased after processing by HBW. The combination of HPTLC and DESI-MSI could be an effective method for rapid identification of chemical components and changing rules in ethnic medicine. The wide application of this technology provides not only an alternative method for the traditional separation and identification of secondary metabolism but also a reference for research on the processing mechanism and quality control of ethnic medicine.

Abstract
Biological invasion is the successful spread and establishment of a species in a novel environment that adversely affects the biodiversity, ecology, and economy. Both invasive and non-invasive species of the Caulerpa genus secrete more than thirty different secondary metabolites. Caulerpin is one of the most common secondary metabolites in genus Caulerpa. In this study, caulerpin found in invasive Caulerpa cylindracea and non-invasive Caulerpa lentillifera extracts were analyzed, quantified, and compared using high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) for the first time. The anticancer activities of caulerpin against HCT-116 and HT-29 colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines were also tested. Caulerpin levels were found higher in the invasive form (108.83 ± 5.07 µg mL-1 and 96.49 ± 4.54 µg mL-1). Furthermore, caulerpin isolated from invasive Caulerpa decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 values were found between 119 and 179 µM), inhibited invasion-migration, and induced apoptosis in CRC cells. In comparison, no cytotoxic effects on the normal cell lines (HDF and NIH-3T3) were observed. In conclusion, HPTLC is a quick and novel method to investigate the caulerpin levels found in Caulerpa extracts, and this paper proposes an alternative utilization method for invasive C. cylindracea due to significant caulerpin content compared to non-invasive C. lentillifera.

Abstract
Product authentication is one of the most important food quality assurances. Considering the importance of consumption of berry fruits with proven health-beneficial properties, high sensory values and rich composition in bioactive substances, the aim of this study was to evaluate a straightforward and simple procedure for the protein fingerprinting of berry seeds. For this purpose, protein profiles of 45 samples of genuine berry fruit cultivars (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, black currant, blueberry, gooseberry, chokeberry, cape gooseberry, and gojiberry) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis in combination with advanced chemometric tools. The most important parameters for discrimination among berry seeds were polypeptides at 12.8; 15.1; 25.0; 26.4; 30.0; 41.8; 44.4; 46.0; 48.5; 52.3 and 56.4 kDa. Biomarkers obtained from the protein profile of berry seeds proved to be a powerful tool in the authentication of their botanical origin, as well as for potential detection of berry-based products adulteration.

Abstract
An in place colorimetric method has been proposed for estimation of the quantity of lactose in several matrix (milk, water effluents and surfaces). Analyzing the amount of this carbohydrate it can be control the product, the cleanliness of the parts of the dairy companies and it can avoid contamination of milk products produced there. This method combines the use of HPTLC for sugars separation with novel analytical devices as minispectrophotometer with fiber optic coupled to a smartphone. In order to measure the lactose a colorimetric reaction has been used. Variable volumes of samples or stock solutions were deposited in nano-silica gel layer, a mobile phase of acetonitrile:water:acetic acid was used for carbohydrate separation and a solution of thymol (0.05 g Thymol in 95 mL of EtOH and 5 mL H2SO4) was used for revealed the carbohydrate spot. Finally, the reflectance of samples and stock solutions were measured. The achieved limits of detection were 0.03 mg mL-1 and 0.003 mg mL-1 for the working concentration range and the analysis at traces level respectively.

Abstract
Legumes are the main sources of folates which are not synthesized in the human body. The five folate species: 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate, tetrahydrofolate, pteroyl glutamate, 5-formyl tetrahydrofolate and 10-formyl tetrahydrofolate were quantitatively determined in legumes seeds and sprouts by a newly developed and validated high performance thin layer chromatography method. High resolution plate imaging hyphenated to mass spectrometry was exploited for fingerprint analysis of tested samples. Results indicated that germination of all seeds resulted in a 2.5-4 fold increase in the content of total folates as well as the individual vitamers. The total amount of folate reached a maximum on the fifth day in the case of black-eyed peas (861 μg/100 g Fresh Weight), white beans (755 μg/100 g FW) and brown lentils (681 μg/100 g FW). 5-CH3-H4 folate was found to be the most dominating folate species reaching its maximum content in day 5 sprouts of black-eyed peas (490 μg/100 g FW).
