A headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method has been developed for the simultaneously determination of 20 disinfection by-products (DBPs) in water samples from reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. Selected compounds belong to different families including: trihalomethanes (THMs), halogenated acetonitriles (HANs), halogenated nitromethanes ...

In this study, ionic liquid (IL) supported magnetic dispersive solid-phase microextraction was developed and a systematic investigation was conducted on imidazolium ILs for their extraction performance. This nano-based pretreatment procedure was then applied for the determination of acaricides in fruit juice samples for the first time. A feature of this technique is that the commonly laborious ...

Foodstuffs analysis is very important due to population growth and increasing consumer demand for safety and nutritional excellence. The Analysis of different compounds in foodstuffs is so difficult without using sample preparation techniques. Traditional techniques require large amounts of toxic organic solvents. As a result, they are not only expensive but also environmentally unfriendly and ...

A new format of fast three-phase microextraction by combining low-density solvent-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and single-drop microextraction (SDME) was for the first time developed for the determination of chlorophenols in environmental water samples. The extraction procedure includes a 2 min DLLME pre-extraction and a 10 min SDME back-extraction. A portion of low-de...

Livestock is an important source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can cause odor nuisance and pollution. The main sources these VOCs in livestock are effluents their management system. In this study, the applicability headspace-solid phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) for VOC characterization effluent samples both laboratory field te...

in this study, a sensitive method of dispersive liquid phase microextraction based on ion-pair combined with the flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed for the determination of trace ni(ii) using aliquat 336-chloride as ion pair agent. several factors which have effect on  the microextraction efficiency of ni(ii), such as ph, extraction and dispersive solvent type and their volume, c...

Celery (Apium graveolens L.) is a vegetable belonging to the Apiaceae family that widely used for its distinct flavor and contains variety of bioactive metabolites with healthy properties. Some celery ecotypes cultivated in specific territories Italy have recently attracted attention consumers scientists because their peculiar sensorial nutritional In this work, volatile profiles white “Sedano ...

Thermophilic bacteria play an important role in aroma formation during pile-fermentation process of dark tea. With the aim to reveal impact thermophilic on volatile compounds tea, Bacillus licheniformis (thermophilic bacteria) were inoculated into sun-dried green tea for spontaneous fermentation. In this study, headspace solid phase microextraction combined gas chromatography mass spectrometry ...

Direct analysis of samples, regardless their origin, is desirable although for the majority of cases unfeasible on account of the complexity of the sample matrix, inadequate concentration of the target analytes, or even incompatibility with the detector. In these cases, a sample pretreatment step is required for interference removal and analytes separation/preconcentration. Despite valuable adv...
