Abstract
In this study, a rapid and simple semi-automatic emulsification liquid-liquid microextraction technique based on deep eutectic solvents was developed for determining strobilurin fungicides in food samples using high-performance liquid chromatography. Novel deep eutectic solvents formed as extractants by combining quaternary phosphates and fatty acids, eliminating the need for toxic solvents in liquid-phase microextraction. The extraction process was facilitated by an electric micropipette, which emulsified and injected the deep eutectic solvent-water mixture directly into the sample. The semi-automated approach enhanced extraction speed and efficiency while minimizing manual error. The sample and deep eutectic solvent mixture were emulsified immediately and separated within 15 min of standing. Only an electronic micropipette was used to achieve extraction and separation. The method demonstrated a linear range of 2-200 μg L-1 with R2 > 0.996 and a limit of detection of 0.6 μg L-1. Recovery ranged from 73.0 % to 100.1 %, with relative standard deviations from 0.4 % to 6.1 %. The greenness of the method was validated through multiple assessment tools, including the Green Analytical Procedure Index, Analytical GREEnness metric for sample preparation, and Sample Preparation Metric of Sustainability. The emulsification liquid-liquid microextraction procedure, based on innovative solvents and electric micropipette technology, proved successful for application in water, juice, and vinegar samples and showed potential for broader use in pesticide residue analysis in food.
期刊介绍：
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
