    PARAFAC and MCR-ALS approaches to the pKa determination of benzoic acid and its derivatives
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Selimoglu, Faysal; Unal, Nazangul; Ertekin, Zehra Ceren; Dinc, Erdal
    In general, the identification of biological activities of a molecule requires the observation of its physicochemical characteristics with its molecular interactions in an organism. The acid-base ionization constant (or pKa) is one of the key parameters that shows the physicochemical behaviors of molecules used in pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics etc. Therefore, the development of new methods (or approaches) is necessary to get simple, rapid, inexpensive and reliable determination of the acidity constants of active and inactive ingredients used in commercial products. In this paper, new UV spectroscopic methods were developed for the first time, by applying parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) to the pH-UV spectral data arrays for determining the pKa values of benzoic acid and its five derivatives (4-fluorobenzoic acid, thiosalicylic acid, anthranilic acid, phthalic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid). The pH profiles obtained by the PARAFAC and MCR-ALS decomposition of the pH-UV data arrays were used for the quantitative estimation of the acid base ionization constants for the investigated compounds without classical titration procedure. We concluded that the proposed PARAFAC and MCR-ALS provided us an opportunity for simple and rapid pKa determination of relevant compounds, which have functional importance in pharmaceutical and food industries.

    Simultaneous Determination of the Acid Dissociation Constants of Phenolics by Multivariate Analysis of pH and Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometric Measurements
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Dinc, Erdal; Selimoglu, Faysal; Unal, Nazangul; Ertekin, Zehra Ceren
    In the development of new commercial products in the pharmaceutical and food industries, acid dissociation constant (K-a) values of active and inactive ingredients are important factors for the estimation of the biological activity. In this regard, new spectrophotometric approaches based on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) and multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) to pH-absorbance dataset are described for the simultaneous determination of the acid dissociation constants of the phenolics ferulic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, and isovanillic acid that have more than one dissociation equilibrium without using classical titration procedures. The acid dissociation constants were determined by the pH profiles obtained by bilinear MCR-ALS and trilinear PARAFAC decomposition of pH-ultraviolet and pH-ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic datasets of the phenolics. For the quantification of the acid dissociation constants with the MCR-ALS and PARAFAC approaches, the estimated spectral profiles provided an opportunity for the direct observation of the individual spectral bands of each phenolic without the use of additional software. The results showed that MCR-ALS and PARAFAC applications to spectrophotometric measurements at various pH values were alternatives for solving acid dissociation constant problems that cannot be determined by classical methods.
