Application of single-drop microextraction to the determination of dialkyl phthalate esters in food simulants

Journal of Chromatography. a
Ramón Batlle, C Nerín

Abstract

A fast and simple method, using static single-drop microextraction (SDME), has been developed to facilitate the identification and quantification of seven dialkyl phthalate esters in the three aqueous food simulants. The simulants were: A, distilled water; B, 3% (w/v) acetic acid/water; and C, 15% (v/v) ethanol/water. The extraction is performed by simply suspending a drop of organic solvent in the aqueous sample using a conventional gas chromatography (GC) microsyringe. Following extraction, the organic phase is withdrawn into the syringe and analyzed by gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (FID). The optimized method yields a linear calibration curve over three orders of magnitude for all the simulants, and method detection limits (MDLs) allowing detection of all the studied compounds at concentrations below migration limits established by the European Union. The accuracy of the SDME method was tested and compared to that of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) by recovery experiments using spiked samples, with results ranging from 85 to 115% in most cases.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
