Rice bran, a by-product of the rice milling process, has emerged as functional food and being used in formulation healthy drinks. However, bran is often contaminated with numerous mycotoxins. In this study, method to simultaneous detection aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2), ochratoxin A (OTA), deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisins (FB1 FB2), sterigmatocystin (STG), T-2 toxin, HT-2 diacetoxyscirpen...

Simple and effective extraction methods based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), and solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) were developed to determine triketone herbicides-sulcotrione (SUL), mesotrione (MES), tembotrione (TEMB), and their degradation products-i...

A reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (RP-DLLME) method coupled to HPLC was developed for the extraction of hydroxytyrosol (HTy) and tyrosol (Ty) from virgin olive oil. In this first application of the RP-DLLME method to non-polar samples, the phenolic compounds were directly extracted into an aqueous micro-drop, which could be injected into a chromatography column without a...

In this study, a modified salting-out-assisted liquid-liquid extraction (SALLE) combined with low density dispersive microextraction (LD-DLLME) has been developed for quantitative determination of multiclass pesticide residues (atrazine, diazinon, ametryn, terbutryn, chlorpyrifos, dimethametryn, 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (4,4'-DDE), 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (4,4'-DDD) and...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Ofloxacin is a quinolone synthetic antibiotic, which acts against resistant mutants of bacteria by inhibiting DNA gyrase. This antibacterial agent is widely used in the treatment of respiratory tract, urinary tract and tissue-based infections, which are caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this work, an efficient modified ionic liquid co...

A luminescence method was developed to screen residues of enrofloxacin (ENRO) and its metabolite, ciprofloxacin (CIPRO), in swine liver. Target analytes were extracted in acetonitrile/1.5% trifluoroacetic acid/NaCl, cleaned up by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), and finally detected by terbium-sensitized luminescence (TSL) using a time-resolved luminescence photometer. CIPRO yi...

A sensitive method was developed to speciate and quantify As(III) and As(V) in fruit juices. At pH 3.0, As(III) and ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) formed a complex, which was extracted into CCl4 by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and subsequently quantified by hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS). After As(V) was reduced by thiosulphate at p...

Ion pair dispersive liquid- liquid microextraction (IP-DLLME) method combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed for the determination of trace amounts of copper(II). By using pyrocatechol violet as chelating agent and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as an ion pairing agent, the trace amount of copper(II) was extracted in chloroform. The factors influencing the formation cop...

Abstract A simple, sensitive, and greener method for green extraction preconcentration of lead from aqueous media further assay by UV-Vis spectrophotometer has been developed using 1,5 diphenylthiocarbazone (dithizone). Several factors dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) including the type volume solvents, shaking time, concentration dithizone as a complexing agent, pH were optimiz...

This paper would like to compare two extraction procedures for analyzing phthalates (PAEs) in hot drinks collected at vending machines, usually coffee and tea. The analytical are based on Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) using C18 cartridge dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) assisted by ultrasound vortex improving the dispersion mechanically, with each followed a routinary method such...
