Possibilities of linear-dichroic infrared (IR-LD) spectroscopy based on oriented solid samples as suspension in nematic liquid crystal have been applied for detailed experimental IR-band assignment and structural information of 2-[5,5-dimethyl-3-(2-phenyl-vinil)-cyclohex-2-enylidene]-malononitrile, 2-[5,5-dimethyl-3-[2-(2-methoxyphenyl)vinyl]cyclo-hex-2-enylidene]malononitrile and 2-[3-[2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene]malononitrile. The data of last two compounds have

3 ketone solvents (methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK), and isophorone) were tested for potential genotoxicity. The assays of MEK and MiBK included the Salmonella/microsome (Ames) assay, L5178Y/TK+/- mouse lymphoma (ML) assay, BALB/3T3 cell transformation (CT) assay, unscheduled

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of isophorone in food samples was developed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Isophorone was separated within 10 min by GC-MS using a DB-1 capillary column and
