Fiber Nanoarchitectonics for Pre-Treatments in Facile Detection of Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Waste Water and Faecal Samples

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are among the active metabolites in biological process both in the intestinal tract and the bioconversion of organic wastes, which has resulted in various human diseases and environmental problems. In order to accurately detect SCFAs, we introduced a novel extraction...
