Paper chromatography was carried out on Whatman 1 strips using methanol/water (8:2) and Physiological solution as mobile phases, Chromatograph Cyclone Plus Storage Phosphor System and Software Optiquant ™.

Kit Merckoquant Molibdeno 5–250 MG/L was purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) and Kit Tec-Control Aluminium Breakthru from Biodex (Shirley, NY, USA).

Dose Calibrator Capintec CRC-15R (Ramsey, NJ, USA) was used for activity measurements.

Gas-chromatography (GC) was performed using Agilent-Pal H6500-CTC injector, gas-chromatograph Agilent Gc 6850 Series II Network, mass spectrometry detector (MS) Agilent Mass Selective Detector 5973 Network and column Agilent J&W DB-624 UI (20 m, 0.18 mm, 1.00 u) was used for chromatographic separation.

The operating conditions of the headspace were: incubation time: 50 min; incubation temperature: 80 ◦C; magnetic stirring speed: 250 rpm. The column oven temperature was set at 35 ◦C and remained constant for 4 min. After this time, the temperature was raised up to 240 ◦C at 15 ◦C/min. A constant column flow of 0.7 mL/min of helium was used.
