The gonads are targeted as an edible product. The objective of this study was to identify odor-active volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the gonads of adult M. nudus collected at a fishing ground in Miyagi Prefecture, Tohoku, Japan. Methods and Results: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and gas chromatography-sniffing techniques identified 42 compounds categorized as alcohols, aldehydes, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, halomethanes, hydrocarbons, ketones, sulfur-containing compounds, and nitrogen-containing compounds. GC-sniffing analysis characterized four compounds with preferable odors of sea urchin gonads;limonene, propyl acetate, acetone, dibromochloromethane. On the other hand, the analysis characterized three compounds with unpreferable odors;methyl mercaptane, dimethyl sulfide, and s-methyl thioacetate. Several VOCs from the gonads were derived from seaweeds, terrestrial plants, and fish flesh as food because M. nudus is omnivorous. Conclusion: This is the first study to identify VOCs from edible sea urchin gonads in the wild in Japan. These VOC data comprise a typical standard in order to evaluate a higher quality of sea urchin gonads.展开更多

As the lighter homologs of superheavy element Bh, Re belongs to period 6, group 7 of the periodic table. Short-lived Re isotopes with half-lives of several minutes were produced in the reactions of natGd(23Na7+, xn) 172?177Re at Nishina center of RIKEN.展开更多

The same experimental setups were used except the low temperature isothermal chromatography device[1]. The natGd2O3 target and 23Na7+ion beam were used to produce short-lived Re isotopes, and the Gas-filled Recoil Ion Separator (GARIS) was employed to separate the evaporation residues[2]. High purity He gas and CO gas were used as the mixed gas. The depth of recoil chamber was 100 mm because of the long stop range in He gas, and the gas pressure was around 80 kpa. The total gas flow rate was 1 L/min.展开更多
