[PMID: 37633040 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
This review summarizes recent advances of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in sample preparation and determination methods of pesticides in food, environmental, and biological matrices since 2019. Emphasis is placed on new DES categories and emerging microextraction techniques. The former incorporate hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents, magnetic deep eutectic solvents, and responsive switchable deep eutectic solvents, while the latter mainly include dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, liquid-liquid microextraction based on in-situ formation/decomposition of DESs, single drop microextraction, hollow fiber-liquid phase microextraction, and solid-phase microextraction. The principles, applications, advantages, and limitations of these microextraction techniques are presented. Besides, the use of DESs in chromatographic separation, electrochemical biosensors, fluorescent sensors, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy are discussed. This review is expected to provide a valuable reference for extracting and detecting pesticides or other hazardous contaminants in the future.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The ability of deep eutectic solvents (DES) to enhance solubility of poorly soluble drugs has attracted increasing attention. Researchers have shown that drugs could be dissolved well in DES. In this study, we propose a new existence state of drugs in DES: a quasi-two-phase colloidal system. EXPERIMENTS Six poorly soluble drugs were used as the models. The formation of colloidal systems was observed visually by the Tyndall effect and DLS. TEM and SAXS were performed to obtain their structure information. The intermolecular interactions between components were probed via DSC and 1H1H-ROESY. In addition, the properties of colloidal systems were further studied. FINDINGS Our key finding is that several drugs like lurasidone hydrochloride (LH) could form stable colloids in [Th (thymol)] - [Da (decanoic acid)] DES, resulting from weak interactions between drugs and DES, which is different from the true solution of drugs like ibuprofen where strong interactions were formed. In this LH-DES colloidal system, DES solvation layer was directly observed on the surface of drug particles. In addition, the colloidal system with polydispersity shows superior physical and chemical stability. Different to the prevailing view that substances are fully dissolved in DES, this study discovers another existence state as stable colloidal particles in DES.

Abstract
Soybeans are mainly used for food and biodiesel production. It is estimated that soy crops worldwide will leave about 651 million metric tons of branches, leaves, pods, and roots on the ground post-harvesting in 2022/23. These by-products might serve as largely available and cheap source of high added-value metabolites, such as flavonoids, isoflavonoids, and other phenolic compounds. This work aimed to explore green approaches based on the use of pressurized and gas expanded-liquid extraction combined with natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) to achieve phenolic-rich extracts from soy by-products. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the generated extracts were quantified and compared with conventional solvents and techniques. Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with choline chloride/citric acid/water (1:1:11 – molar ratio) at 120°C, 100 bar, and 20 min, resulted in an optimized condition to generate phenolic and flavonoid-rich fractions of soy by-products. The individual parts of soy were extracted under these conditions, with their metabolic profile obtained by UHPLC-ESI-QToF-MS/MS and potential antioxidant properties by ROS scavenging capacity. Extracts of soy roots presented the highest antioxidant capacity (207.48 ± 40.23 mg AA/g), three times higher than soybean extracts (68.96 ± 12.30). Furthermore, Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) were applied to select natural hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (NaHDES) as substituents for n-heptane to defat soybeans. Extractions applying NaHDES candidates achieved a similar yield and chromatography profile (GC-QToF-MS) to n-heptane extracts.

Abstract
A simple, inexpensive, reliable and environmentally friendly method based on vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with solidification of a floating organic drop (VA-DLLME-SFO) followed by high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) was developed to determine benzoic acid (BA) and sorbic acid (SA) in ketchup and powder bags of instant noodles. Hydrophobic natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs), as the microextraction solvent, were prepared with ternary components. Acetic acid can reduce the viscosity of hydrophobic NADESs and vortex can promote the dispersion of NADESs in aqueous solvents. In the DLLME process, several key parameters were optimized, including the type and volume of hydrophobic NADES, pH value, vortex time and salt content. Meanwhile, these parameters were assessed using response surface methodology based on the Box-Behnken design (BBD). Under optimal conditions, the developed method showed good linearity in the selected range (r2, 0.9997). The limits of detection were 0.2 μg mL-1 and 0.07 μg mL-1 for BA and SA, respectively. Recoveries were in the range of 82.21% to 102.70% and the relative standard deviations (intra-day and inter-day precisions) were less than 5.66%. The proposed method was successful in analyzing BA and SA in ketchup and powder bags of instant noodles.

Abstract
An ecofriendly and efficient ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvents dispersive liquid-phase microextraction by solidifying the deep eutectic solvents-rich phase was developed to determine azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, epoxiconazole, cyprodinil, and prochloraz in fruit juices and tea drinks by high-performance liquid chromatography. A varieties of environmental hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents serving as extraction agents were prepared using L-menthol and decanoic acid as hydrogen-bond acceptor and hydrogen-bond donor, respectively. The deep eutectic solvents were ultrasonically dispersed in sample solutions, solidified in a freezer and easily harvested. The main variables were optimized by one-factor-at-a-time and response surface test. The new method performs well with relative recovery of 71.75-109.40%, linear range of 2.5-5000 μg/L (r ≥ 0.9968), detection limit of 0.75-8.45 μg/L, quantification limit of 2.5-25 μg/L,, and inter- and intraday relative standard deviations below 13.53 and 14.84%, respectively. As for the extraction mechanism, deep eutectic solvents were disposed into many fine particles in the solution and captured the analytes based on the changes of particle size and quantity in deep eutectic solvents droplets after extraction. The environmental method can successfully detect fungicide residues in real fruit juices and tea drinks.

Abstract
QuEChERS pretreatment combined with gas chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-Q-TOF/MS) has been investigated for application in screening 244 pesticide residues in chilli. Fresh chilli samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and dried chilli samples were extracted using an acetonitrile/acetic acid (99∶1, v/v) mixture. The two extraction solvents were stored at -20 ℃. After salting out and cleaning by dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE), heptachlor epoxide B was added as an internal standard, and the resulting residues were dissolved in 1.00 mL acetone. The dissolved sample solution was loaded onto an HP-5MS UI column (30 m×0.25 mm, 0.25 μm) and eluted by GC-Q-TOF/MS with a programmable temperature vaporizer and splitless injection in the full-scan mode. The compensation effects of the analytical protectant (AP) and matrix-matched calibration method on the matrix effect were established. AP could be used in the fresh chilli matrix to compensate for matrix effects, but it was not effective in the dried chilli matrix. The matrix-matched calibration method was effective in both matrices, which was selected for the quantification of pesticide residues in the samples. Because of the existence of the isomers of one compound and the same characteristic ions of different compounds, analyte detection was based on a flexible retention time deviation of ±0.25 min and accurate mass deviation of ±20×10 -6. Screening was performed by the software in the automatic matching mode. Compound identification and quantitation were based on a database and calibration curve established with reference materials. Suspicious samples were subjected to manual analysis. Quantitative analysis of 244 pesticide residues in fresh chilli and 222 pesticide residues in dried chilli was performed. The results showed that the developed database and method can provide a reference for the high-throughput screening and quantitation of fresh and dried chilli. Different levels of pesticides were added to the blank chilli samples, and the addition level corresponding to a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 10 was used as the limit of quantification (LOQ). The LOQs of 44 pesticides with a maximum residue limit (MRL) ≤0.05 mg/kg in fresh chilli did not exceed 0.010 mg/kg. The linear ranges of these 44 pesticides were 0.01-1.00 mg/L. At spiked levels of the LOQ and 2.5 times the LOQ, the ratios of the 44 pesticides with recoveries of 60% to 120% were 88.64% and 100%, respectively. The LOQs of 200 pesticides with MRLs ≥0.05 mg/kg or without MRLs in fresh chilli did not exceed 0.025 mg/kg. The linear ranges of these 200 pesticides were 0.05-1.00. At spiked levels of the LOQ, twice the LOQ, and 10 times the LOQ, the ratios of the 200 pesticides with recoveries of 60% to 120% were 49.50%, 87.00%, and 89.50%, respectively. The linear correlation coefficients (r 2) of the 244 pesticides in fresh chilli were greater than 0.99. The LOQs of 222 pesticides in dried chilli were less than 0.15 mg/kg, and the linear ranges were 0.04-1.00 mg/L. The ratios of these 222 pesticides with r 2 greater than 0.99 was 95.46%. At spiked levels of the LOQ, twice the LOQ and 10 times the LOQ in dried chilli, the ratio of the 222 pesticides with recoveries of 60% to 120% were 72.52%, 73.42%, and 81.53%, respectively. The established screening and confirmation method was used to analyze 12 fresh chilli samples and 14 dried chilli samples. Eight pesticides were found in nine fresh chilli samples and three dried chilli samples, all of which were confirmed to be positive after manual identification. The concentrations of these pesticides were lower than the MRLs required by GB 2763-2019: National Food Safety Standard Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides in Food. The results demonstrate that the established method is rapid, easy to execute, efficient, and reliable. It can be used for the high-throughput screening and quantitation of pesticide residues in fresh and dried chilli.
