Abstract
Milk contains several components that are important for human nutrition and health. To date, studies on organic and conventional milk have focused on their gross composition and fatty acid content, but little attention has been paid to the differences between other minor components, such as sterols and vitamins that may have functional actions. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional differences among 3 types of milk from a dairy plant: conventional, high-quality, and organic (in compliance with European regulations) milk, focusing on minor components such as sterols of animal and plant origin (phytosterols), tocopherols, and bioactive fatty acids. Cholesterol ranged from 271.37 mg/100 g of fat in conventional milk to 278.76 mg/100 g of fat in organic milk. Lanosterol was the main minor animal sterol in cow milk (ranging from 3.41 to 4.37 mg/100 g of fat), followed by desmosterol. The amount of total plant sterols in the analyzed milk ranged from 4.43 mg/100 g of fat in organic to 4.71 mg/100 g of fat in high-quality milk. Brassicasterol was the main sterol of plant origin which varied from 2.6 mg/100 g of fat in conventional and organic milk, to 2.93 mg/100 g of fat in high-quality milk. The second most present phytosterol was β-sitosterol, which ranged from 0.86 mg/100 g of fat in conventional to 0.97 mg/100 g of fat in high-quality, and organic milk. The results of the study showed no significant differences in gross and sterol composition between the 3 types of milk. However, the only significant difference found was in the fatty acid profile, with a higher n-3 content found in high-quality milk than in conventional and organic milk. These findings suggest that the investigated product categories and labels have minimal effect on the sterol and fatty acid profile of commercial cow milk.

Abstract
The study reports the development of a high-performance liquid chromatography/diode array detection method to measure the levels of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir in human plasma. These two antiviral medications are used for the treatment of COVID-19 and are marketed as Paxlovid®. The method employed sugaring-out induced homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction to improve sensitivity. Optimization of the method was performed using the one variable at a time approach by adjusting several factors such as type of sugar, extractant, amount of sugar, volume of extractant, and pH of the aqueous sample to achieve the highest efficiency. The developed method was validated according to the Food and Drug Administration guidelines and demonstrated good linearity, accuracy, and precision. The range of linearity was from 1000 to 20,000 ng/mL for nirmatrelvir and 200 to 20,000 ng/mL for ritonavir with correlation coefficient values of 0.998 and 0.996, respectively. Selectivity studies revealed that no others peaks appeared in the retention times of the studied drugs. The stability of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir were also investigated through short term and three cycles of freeze-thaw, and both drugs were found stable. This analytical method could be useful for monitoring drug concentrations in patients undergoing treatment with these medications for COVID-19. In this work, for the first time, SULLME was used for the sensitive determination of nirmatrelvir and ritonavir in biological fluids. The developed method was able to determine both drugs in therapeutic levels with no need to sophisticated techniques like LC-MS. In addition to that, SULLME is considered a simple and green sample preparation in comparison with conventional sample preparation methods.

Abstract
In this work, iron (III) oxinate magnetic nanocomposite was synthesized and employed as an efficient sorbent for the magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from honey samples. In the following, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction procedure was used to further preconcentration of the analytes. The prepared sorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, vibrating sample magnetometer, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, and scanning electron microscope. The results verified the successful formation of the magnetic sorbent. In the extraction process, the sorbent was added into an aqueous solution and the mixture was vortexed. After completing the adsorption process, the supernatant phase was separated in the presence of a magnet and the analytes adsorbed onto sorbent were eluted by acetonitrile. Then, μL-level of 1,1,1-trichloroethane was mixed with the obtained acetonitrile and injected into NaCl solution. Finally, one microliter of the sedimented phase was injected into gas chromatography-flame ionization detector after centrifugation. Under the optimum conditions, a great repeatability (relative standard deviation equal or less than 5 and 6% for intra- and inter day precisions, respectively), acceptable extraction recoveries (59-84%), high enrichment factors (118-168), and low limits of detection and quantification (0.16-0.36 and 0.56-1.22 ng g-1 , respectively) were acquired.

Abstract
A free dispersive method, air-assisted in situ deep eutectic solvent decomposition followed by the solidification of floating organic droplets liquid-liquid microextraction was indicated in this study. This technique was utilized to simultaneously ascertain some azole antifungal drugs prior to high-performance liquid chromatography. In this research, a quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent was formed from tetrabutylammonium bromide and 1-dodecanol as an organic solvent at a 1:2 molar ratio. The synthesized deep decomposition in the sample solution caused in situ dispersion of extraction solvent and analytes. Air-assisted enhanced a dispersion condition in the sample solution. 1-dodecanol as a green option was replaced with typical extraction solvents providing the advantages of a suitable freezing point near room temperature and low density. The effect of important analytical parameters on the extraction recovery of analytes was assessed. Under these optimal conditions, the limits of detection and limits of quantitation determined were in the range of 0.5-2.8 μg L-1 and 1.5-9 μg L-1 , for water, urine and plasma samples, respectively. The Intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSD% n = 5) were calculated to be 2.9-4.6 % and 4.2-8.9 %, respectively. The results represented the effectiveness of the developed method for the extraction and determination of analytes in biological samples. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
In recent years, natural deep eutectic solvents have been favored greatly due to their environment friendly, mild biological toxicity and simple biodegradability. Natural deep eutectic solvents gradually applied for the extracting bioactive compounds from natural products efficiently. In this study, 20 natural deep eutectic solvents were prepared and their physical and chemical properties were tested. The ultrasonic-assisted extraction method was used to extract flavonoids from Trollius ledebouri and high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet was applied to examine two main bioactive flavonoids (orientin and vitexin). Compared with traditional solvents (water and 60% ethanol solution), natural deep eutectic solvents composed of L(-)-proline and levulinic acid (molar ratio 1:2) show a super extraction efficiency. On this basis, the response surface method was used to optimize the extraction temperature, extraction time, water contents, and solid-liquid ratio. As a consequence, the extraction temperature 60℃, extraction time 18 min, water content 14% (v/v), and the solid-liquid ratio 48 mL·g-1 were chosen as the best extraction process. This study shows that natural deep eutectic solvents can effectively extract flavonoids from T. ledebouri, laying a foundation for the further application of natural deep eutectic solvents to extract bioactive compounds from natural products.

Abstract
Miniaturization of liquid-liquid extraction is a growing field of sample preparation to reduce solvent consumption, protect the environment, and preserve operators' health. In this work, four different modes of liquid-liquid microextraction have been compared including dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, binary and ternary salting-out, and sugaring-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction. The extraction efficiency was evaluated by the enrichment factors of 14 different drugs from three pharmacological classes. Compared with the other modes, sugaring-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction was found to be the most efficient and, thus, it was applied for sample preparation of the antivirals in human plasma. Method optimization was performed using response surface methodology for the sugar type and amount (in mg), the sample pH, the equilibration time (in min), and the extractant volume (in µL). The method was then validated and found linear in the concentration range of 0.10-10 µg/mL for daclatasvir, 0.05-10 µg/mL for velpatasvir, and 0.20-10 µg/mL for ledipasvir, with correlation coefficients in the range 0.996-0.999. These results shows that sugaring-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction could be a more efficient microextraction mode for preparation of biological samples. Compared with other types of microextraction, sugaring-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction is greener, simpler, and cost-effective, with less tendency to affect the sample pH.
