Abstract
Hormonal drugs in biological samples are usually in low concentration and highly intrusive. It is of great significance to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the detection process of hormone drugs in biological samples by utilizing appropriate sample pretreatment methods for the detection of hormone drugs. In this study, a sample pretreatment method was developed to effectively enrich estrogens in serum samples by combining molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction, which has high specificity, and non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, which has a high enrichment ability. The theoretical basis for the effective enrichment of estrogens by non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent was also computed by simulation. The results showed that the combination of molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction and deep eutectic solvent-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction could improve the sensitivity of HPLC by 33∼125 folds, and at the same time effectively reduce the interference. In addition, the non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent has a relatively low solvation energy for estrogen and possesses a surface charge similar to that of estrogen, and thus can effectively enrich estrogen. The study provides ideas and methods for the extraction and determination of low-concentration drugs in biological samples and also provides a theoretical basis for the application of non-ionic hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent extraction.

Abstract
This research aims to determine five steroids and four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in milk and egg samples collected from rural Roma communities in Transylvania, Romania. Target compounds were extracted from selected matrices by protein precipitation, followed by extract purification by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic droplets. The extraction procedure was optimized using a 24 full factorial experimental design. Good enrichment factors (87.64-122.07 milk; 26.97-38.72 eggs), extraction recovery (74.49-103.76% milk; 75.64-108.60% eggs), and clean-up of the sample were obtained. The method detection limits were 0.74-1.77 µg/L for milk and 2.39-6.02 µg/kg for eggs, while the method quantification limits were 2.29-5.46 µg/L for milk and 7.38-18.65 µg/kg for eggs. The steroid concentration in milk samples was

Green Extraction Techniques as Advanced Sample Preparation Approaches in Biological, Food, and Environmental Matrices: A Review. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27092953. [PMID: 35566315 PMCID: PMC9101692 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27092953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Green extraction techniques (GreETs) emerged in the last decade as greener and sustainable alternatives to classical sample preparation procedures aiming to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of analytical methods, simultaneously reducing the deleterious side effects of classical extraction techniques (CETs) for both the operator and the environment. The implementation of improved processes that overcome the main constraints of classical methods in terms of efficiency and ability to minimize or eliminate the use and generation of harmful substances will promote more efficient use of energy and resources in close association with the principles supporting the concept of green chemistry. The current review aims to update the state of the art of some cutting-edge GreETs developed and implemented in recent years focusing on the improvement of the main analytical features, practical aspects, and relevant applications in the biological, food, and environmental fields. Approaches to improve and accelerate the extraction efficiency and to lower solvent consumption, including sorbent-based techniques, such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and fabric-phase sorbent extraction (FPSE), and solvent-based techniques (μQuEChERS; micro quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), in addition to supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized solvent extraction (PSE), are highlighted.

Abstract
Cow's milk is currently the most consumed product worldwide. However, due to various direct and indirect contamination sources, different chemical and microbiological contaminants have been found in cow's milk. This review details the main contaminants found in cow's milk, referring to the sources of contamination and their impact on human health. A comparative approach highlights the poor efficacy and effects of the pasteurization process with other methods used in the treatment of cow's milk. Despite pasteurization and related techniques being the most widely applied to date, they have not demonstrated efficacy in eliminating contaminants. New technologies have appeared as alternative treatments to pasteurization. However, in addition to causing physicochemical changes in the raw material, their efficacy is not total in eliminating chemical contaminants, suggesting the need for new research to find a solution that contributes to improving food safety.

Abstract
Analytical methods such as liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) are widely used techniques for the analyses of different classes of compounds. This is due to their highlighted capacity for separating and identifying components in complex matrices such food samples. However, in most cases, effective analysis of the target analyte becomes challenging due to the complexity of the sample, especially for quantification of trace concentrations. In this case, miniaturized sample preparation methods have been used as a strategy for analysis of complex matrices. This involves removing the interferents and concentrating the analytes in a sample. These methods combine simplicity and effectiveness and given their miniaturized scale, they are in accordance with green chemistry precepts. Besides, ambient mass spectrometry represents a new trend in fast and rapid analyses, especially for qualitative and screening analysis. However, for complex matrix analyses, sample preparation is still a difficult step and the miniaturized sample preparation techniques show great potential for an improved and widespread use of ambient mass spectrometry techniques. . This review aims to contribute as an overview of current miniaturized sample preparation techniques and ambient mass spectrometry methods as different approaches for selective and sensitive analysis of residues in food samples.
