Abstract
In this study, a metal organic frameworks named MIL-53(Al) was designed and constructed via a facile one-pot route for the efficient capture artificial sweeteners (ASs). Capitalizing on its high stability, large specific surface area and π-conjugated backbone, the material showed excellent adsorption capacity and repeatability. Then a solid-phase extraction (SPE) column founded on MIL-53(Al) was fabricated, and it was applied to enriching and analyzing ASs in combination with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The developed method showed good linearity (r ≥ 0.996), low limit of detection (0.22 ng/L), high precision (RSD < 7.81 %). The applicability of the method was evaluated by analyzing six samples (water, beverages and seasonings). The spiked recoveries of ASs in samples ranged from 78.3 to 105 %, and ASs (11.2–24.1 ng/L) were detected in beverage samples. The potential adsorption mechanism was also elucidated based on integrated adsorption experiments and simulation calculations. In summary, this study establishes a precise method for determining ASs in complex matrices, offering reliable solutions for environmental monitoring and food safety assessment.
