Abstract
Carboxylic acids (CAs) represent a large group of important molecules participating in various biologically significant processes. Analytical study of these compounds is typically performed by liquid chromatography (LC) combined with various types of detection. However, their analysis is often accompanied by a wide variety of problems depending on used separation system or detection method. The dominant ones are: i) poor chromatographic behavior of the CAs in reversed-phase LC; ii) absence of a chromophore (or fluorophore); iii) weak ionization in mass spectrometry (MS). To overcome these problems, targeted chemical modification, and derivatization, come into play. Therefore, derivatization still plays an important and, in many cases, irreplaceable role in sample preparation, and new derivatization methods of CAs are constantly being developed. The most commonly used type of reaction for CAs derivatization is amidation. In recent years, an increased interest in the isotopic labeling derivatization method has been observed. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the possibilities and actual trends in the derivatization of CAs that have been published over the past decade.

Abstract
An analytical method with broad applicability based on cold vapor generation high-resolution continuum source quartz tube atomic absorption spectrometry was developed and evaluated for the determination of total mercury in matrices with various complexities and compositions. Sample preparation for different matrices of food, environmental samples and (bio)polymeric materials and unified operating conditions for derivatization and measurement were evaluated. The method was validated according to established requirements (Eurachem Guide 2014, EC Decisions 657/2002; 333/2007; 836/2011 and Association of Official Analytical Chemists Guide - AOAC). Analytical versatility was checked on various samples of fish fillets, mushrooms, soil, water and water sediment, sludge from a wastewater treatment unit, and (bio)polymeric materials from waste recycled from food packaging, computers and garden tools. Under optimal conditions for cold vapor generation in a batch system, namely 3% (v/v) HCl as reaction medium for 5 mL aliquot samples and a volume of 3.5 mL 0.3% (m/v) NaBH4 stabilized in 0.2% (m/v) NaOH as derivatization reagent, the detection limit for Hg in terms of peak height measurement (n = 7 days) was in the range 0.064 ± 0.004 μg L-1 in water, 0.014 ± 0.001 mg kg-1 in environmental samples and 0.009 ± 0.001 mg kg-1 in (bio)polymeric materials. Overall recovery of Hg by analysis of certified reference materials was 102 ± 20% (k = 2) in food, soil, wastewater and water sediment, and polyethylene. Precision for the measurement of various real samples ranged between 4.2 and 15.0%. A performance study highlighted that the method was sensitive, free of non-spectral interference coming from the multielemental matrix and that it complied with the requirements for Hg determination set in EC Decisions and AOAC Guidelines at least for the more common matrices analyzed for social impact.

From capillaries to microchips, green electrophoretic features for enantiomeric separations: A decade review (2013-2022). Electrophoresis 2023; 44:1471-1518. [PMID: 37667860 DOI: 10.1002/elps.202200178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
Enantioseparation by the electromigration-based method is well-established and widely discussed in the literature. Electrophoretic strategies have been used to baseline resolve complex enantiomeric mixtures, typically using a selector substance into the background electrolyte (BGE) from capillaries to microchips. Along with developing new materials/substances for enantioseparations, it is the concern about the green analytical chemistry (GAC) principles for method development and application. This review article brings a last decade's update on the publications involving enantioseparation by electrophoresis for capillary and microchip systems. It also brings a critical discussion on GAC principles and new green metrics in the context of developing an enantioseparation method. Chemical and green features of native and modified cyclodextrins are discussed. Still, given the employment of greener substances, ionic liquids and deep-eutectic solvents are highlighted, and some new selectors are proposed. For all the mentioned selectors, green features about their production, application, and disposal are considered. Sample preparation and BGE composition in GAC perspective, as well as greener derivatization possibilities, were also addressed. Therefore, one of the goals of this review is to aid the electrophoretic researchers to look where they have not.

Current Developments of Analytical Methodologies for Aflatoxins' Determination in Food during the Last Decade (2013-2022), with a Particular Focus on Nuts and Nut Products. Foods 2023; 12:foods12030527.

Abstract
This review aims to provide a clear overview of the most important analytical development in aflatoxins analysis during the last decade (2013-2022) with a particular focus on nuts and nuts-related products. Aflatoxins (AFs), a group of mycotoxins produced mainly by certain strains of the genus Aspergillus fungi, are known to impose a serious threat to human health. Indeed, AFs are considered carcinogenic to humans, group 1, by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Since these toxins can be found in different food commodities, food control organizations worldwide impose maximum levels of AFs for commodities affected by this threat. Thus, they represent a cumbersome issue in terms of quality control, analytical result reliability, and economical losses. It is, therefore, mandatory for food industries to perform analysis on potentially contaminated commodities before the trade. A full perspective of the whole analytical workflow, considering each crucial step during AFs investigation, namely sampling, sample preparation, separation, and detection, will be presented to the reader, focusing on the main challenges related to the topic. A discussion will be primarily held regarding sample preparation methodologies such as partitioning, solid phase extraction (SPE), and immunoaffinity (IA) related methods. This will be followed by an overview of the leading analytical techniques for the detection of aflatoxins, in particular liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to a fluorescence detector (FLD) and/or mass spectrometry (MS). Moreover, the focus on the analytical procedure will not be specific only to traditional methodologies, such as LC, but also to new direct approaches based on imaging and the ability to detect AFs, reducing the need for sample preparation and separative techniques.

Abstract
Of late, DESs have occupied the centre stage due to their eco-friendly and resource-efficient nature and their low toxicity. In this work, we have investigated the structural and thermal stability of hemoglobin (Hb) in two choline chloride ([Ch]Cl)-based DESs namely urea [Ch]Cl-urea (DES1) and [Ch]Cl-glycerol (Gly); (DES 2). Different biophysical techniques reveal that the presence of DESs facilitates the stability of Hb in a concentration-dependent manner and the extent of stability is more pronounced in [Ch]Cl-Gly as compared to [Ch]Cl-urea. Additionally, for a better understanding of the role of DESs in modulating the thermal and structural stability of Hb, studies have been performed on Hb in the presence of individual constituents of DESs, i.e., [Ch]Cl, urea, and Gly. Altogether, it was observed that the effect on the stability of Hb was by the presence of the DESs rather than their individual constituents. For instance, urea itself is a destabilizing co-solvent for biomolecules. However, the harmful effects of urea were surpassed when a DES is formed in the presence of [Ch]Cl. Therefore, overall, it can be concluded that both DESs can be described as potential non-harmful, green, and promising solvents for enhancing the structural and thermal stability of Hb.

Abstract
Research on innovative surface functionalization strategies to develop materials with high added value is particularly challenging since this process is a crucial step in a wide range of fields (i.e., biomedical, biosensing, and food packaging). Up to now, the main applied derivatization methods require hazardous and poorly biocompatible reagents, harsh conditions of temperature and pressure, and are time consuming and cost effective. The discovery of biomolecules able to adhere by non-covalent bonds on several surfaces paves the way for their employment as a replacement of chemical processes. A simple, fast, and environment-friendly method of achieving modification of chemically inert surfaces is offered by hydrophobins, small amphiphilic proteins produced by filamentous fungi. Due to their structural characteristics, they form stable protein layers at interfaces, serving as anchoring points that can strongly bind molecules of interest. In addition, genetic engineering techniques allow the production of hydrophobins fused to a wide spectrum of relevant proteins, providing further benefits in term of time and ease of the process. In fact, it is possible to bio-functionalize materials by simply dip-casting, or by direct deposition, rendering them exploitable, for example, in the development of biomedical and biosensing platforms.

Abstract
Chemical derivatization for improving selectivity and/or sensitivity is a common practice in analytical chemistry. It is particularly attractive in flow analysis in view of its highly reproducible reagent addition(s) and controlled timing. Then, measurements without attaining the steady state, kinetic discrimination, exploitation of unstable reagents and/or products, as well as strategies compliant with Green Analytical Chemistry, have been efficiently exploited. Flow-based chemical derivatization has been accomplished by different approaches, most involving flow and manifold programming. Solid-phase reagents, novel strategies for sample insertion and reagent addition, as well as to increase sample residence time have been also exploited. However, the required alterations in flow rates and/or manifold geometry may lead to spurious signals (e.g., Schlieren effect) resulting in distorted peaks and a noisy/drifty baseline. These anomalies can be circumvented by a proper flow system design. In this review, these aspects are critically discussed mostly in relation to spectrophotometric and luminometric detection.

Abstract
One of the most valuable practices for analyzing not-so-analytical-friendly analytes in complex, heterogenous matrices is derivatization. Availability of numerous derivatizing reagents (DRs) makes the modification of analyte more exploitable in terms of an analytical perspective. A wide array of derivatization techniques like pre or post-column, in-situ, enzymatic, ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted, photochemical derivatization has added much-needed methodological strength in analyzing intricate analytical matrices (food, water, and soil). In recent years, analytical chemistry has achieved greater heights through the development of new sensitive methods with simple conventional instruments like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) devoid of Mass detectors. The prompt availability of these straightforward instruments also makes it a favorable option for routine analysis in food, environmental, bioanalytical chemistry. Analyzing food, environmental or bioanalytical specimen has some of the most problematic aspects, like the low concentration of the analytes accompanied by not too suitable analytical properties. Even though conventional HPLC lacks the required sensitivity but merger with derivatization can lead to a remarkable increase in sensitivity. In recent years there has been a lot of application of diverse derivatizations to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the analyte for available instruments, resulting in notable findings. Therefore, this review describes the application of derivatization principles in the analysis of analytes in food and additional matrices using conventional HPLC instruments such as HPLC-UV, HPLC-DAD, and HPLC-FD. In this article, we will briefly review the different modes and multiple types of derivatizing reagents with their mechanisms and importance for encouraging the use of established HPLC instruments.

Abstract
Background:
Derivatization of analytes is a quite convenient practice from an analytical perspective. Its vast prevalence is accounted by the availability of distinct reagents, primarily pragmatic for obtaining desired modifications in an analyte structure. Another reason for its handiness is typically to overcome limitations such as lack of sensitive methodology or instrumentation.The past decades have witnessed various new derivatization techniques including in-situ, enzymatic, ultrasound-assisted, microwave-assisted, and photochemical derivatization which have gain popularity recently.
Methods:
The online literature available on the utilization of derivatization as prominent analytical tools in recent years with typical advancements is reviewed. The illustrations of the analytical condition together with the structures of different derivatizing reagents (DRs) are provided to acknowledge the vast capability of derivatization to resolve analytical problems.
Results:
The derivatization techniques have enabled analytical chemists throughout the globe to develop an enhanced sensitivity method with the simplest of the instrument like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC, compared to more sensitive Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometer, is readily available and can be readily utilized for routine analysis in fields of pharmaceuticals, bioanalysis, food safety, and environmental contamination. A troublesome aspect of these fields is the presence of a complex matrix with trace concentrations for analyses. Liquid chromatographic methods devoid of MS detectors do not have the desired sensitivity for this. A possible solution for overcoming this is to couple HPLC with derivatization to enable the possibility of detecting trace analytes with a less expensive instrument. Running cost, enhanced sensitivity, low time consumption, and overcoming the inherent problems of analyte are critical parameters for which HPLC is quite useful in high throughput analysis.
Conclusion:
The review critically highlights various kinds of derivatization applications in different fields of analytical chemistry. The information primarily focuses on pharmaceutical and bioanalytical applications in recent years. The various modes, types, and derivatizing reagents with brief mechanisms have been ascribed briefly Additionally, the importance of HPLC coupled to fluorescence and UV detection is presented as an overview through examples accompanied by their analytical conditions.

Abstract
Acrylamide is a group 2A carcinogen and potential endocrine disruptor that can enter the ecosystem by various routes and has recently become a dangerous pollutant. This widely used chemical can enter the human body via air inhalation, food or water consumption, or skin contact. In this study, we developed a peptide probe for the detection of acrylamide by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) after its micro-tagging with a peptide. Direct detection of acrylamide by MALDI-TOF MS is not feasible due to its poor ionization in the MALDI interface, which hinders its analysis by the technique. After microwave irradiation for 2 min, the formed acrylamide-peptide derivative was detected easily by MALDI-TOF MS without the need for extraction procedures. The procedure does not involve organic solvents and a water-soluble peptide that allows detection of acrylamide in small sample volumes with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.05 ng/μL. The relative standard deviation (RSD) and relative error (RE) of the measurements were < 6.7% for intra- and inter-day assays. Gel-washing solutions from a polyacrylamide gel experiment were used as a model to study the efficiency of the developed method. Finally, we used the proposed method for the detection of free acrylamide in small volumes of lung epithelial cells (a model to test the air inhalation of acrylamide under a tiny volume of sample) and human urine. The developed method will enable rapid acrylamide detection in environmental and biological samples via a green approach based on microwave-assisted derivatization in water alongside the use of a less toxic derivatization reagent, reusable target plate, and miniaturization protocols.

Abstract
The simultaneous determination of chemical vapor-generating elements involving derivatization is difficult even by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry or mass spectrometry. This study proposes a new direct liquid microsampling method for the simultaneous determination of As, Bi, Se, Te, Hg, Pb, and Sn, using a fully miniaturized set-up based on electrothermal vaporization capacitively coupled plasma microtorch optical emission spectrometry. The method is cost-effective, free from non-spectral interference, and easy to run by avoiding derivatization. The method involves the vaporization of analytes from the 10 µL sample and recording of episodic spectra generated in low-power (15 W) and low-Ar consumption (150 mL min−1) plasma microtorch interfaced with low-resolution microspectrometers. Selective vaporization at 1300 °C ensured the avoidance of non-spectral effects and allowed the use of external calibration. Several spectral lines for each element even in the range 180–210 nm could be selected. Generally, this spectral range is examined with large-scale instrumentation. Even in the absence of derivatization, the obtained detection limits were low (0.02–0.75 mg kg−1) and allowed analysis of environmental samples, such as cave and river sediments. The recovery was in the range of 86–116%, and the accuracy was better than 10%. The method is of general interest and could be implemented on any miniaturized or classical laboratory spectrometric instrumentation.

Abstract
Derivatization, or chemical structure modification, is often used in bioanalysis performed by liquid chromatography technique in order to enhance detectability or to improve the chromatographic performance for the target analytes. The derivatization process is discussed according to the analytical procedure used to achieve the reaction between the reagent and the target compounds (containing hydroxyl, thiol, amino, carbonyl and carboxyl as the main functional groups involved in derivatization). Important procedures for derivatization used in bioanalysis are in situ or based on extraction processes (liquid-liquid, solid-phase and related techniques) applied to the biomatrix. In the review, chiral, isotope-labeling, hydrophobicity-tailored and post-column derivatizations are also included, based on representative publications in the literature during the last two decades. Examples of derivatization reagents and brief reaction conditions are included, together with some bioanalytical applications and performances (chromatographic conditions, detection limit, stability and sample biomatrix).

Abstract

Green
analytical chemistry focuses on making analytical procedures
more environmentally benign and safer to humans. The amounts and toxicity
of reagents, generated waste, energy requirements, the number of procedural
steps, miniaturization, and automation are just a few of the multitude
of criteria considered when assessing an analytical methodology’s
greenness. The use of greenness assessment criteria requires dedicated
tools. We propose the Analytical GREEnness calculator, a comprehensive,
flexible, and straightforward assessment approach that provides an
easily interpretable and informative result. The assessment criteria
are taken from the 12 principles of green analytical chemistry (SIGNIFICANCE)
and are transformed into a unified 0–1 scale. The final score
is calculated based on the SIGNIFICANCE principles. The result is
a pictogram indicating the final score, performance of the analytical
procedure in each criterion, and weights assigned by the user. Freely
available software makes the assessment procedure straightforward.

Interference-free, green microanalytical method for total mercury and methylmercury determination in biological and environmental samples using small-sized electrothermal vaporization capacitively coupled plasma microtorch optical emission spectrometry. Talanta 2020; 217:121067. [PMID: 32498880 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2020.121067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Revised: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 04/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
An analytical method for the quantification of total Hg and CH3Hg+ in biological tissues (fish, mushroom) and water sediment was developed based on small-sized electrothermal vaporization capacitively coupled plasma microtorch optical emission spectrometry using a low-resolution microspectrometer as detector. Sample preparation was carried out according to the procedure recommended by JRC Technical Report of European Commission for the determination of CH3Hg+ in seafood and adapted by us for lower consumption of reagents. Amounts of 0.1 - 0.5 g sample were subjected to extraction in 5 ml of 47% HBr then CH3Hg+ was extracted in 2 × 1 ml toluene and back-extracted in 2 ml aqueous solution of 1% l-cysteine. Total Hg/CH3Hg+ were quantified in 10 μl of acidic extract/l-cysteine solution after electrothermal vaporization and measurement of 253.652 nm Hg signal in the episodic emission spectra. Under the optimal working conditions of system (70 °C sample drying, 1300 °C sample vaporization, 10 W plasma power and 150 ml min-1 Ar flow) the limits of detection were 7.0 μg kg-1 total Hg and 3.5 μg kg-1 CH3Hg+. Comparison of slopes in external calibration and standard addition procedure revealed the lack of non-spectral interferences of multimineral matrix, so that the calibration against Hg2+ standards was adopted. Pooled recovery of total mercury/methylmercury was 101 ± 7%/100 ± 7%, while precision assessed from measurements of real samples was in the range 1.6-9.6%/2.7-12.8%. The proposed method validated according to Eurachem Guide 2014 is selective and complies with demands in European legislation (Decisions 657/2002; 333/2007; 836/2011) and Association of Official Analytical Chemists Guide in terms of performances for food control. The method displays a high degree of greenness by circumventing cold vapor generation, use of small amounts of reagents and full-miniaturized instrumentation resulting in low analytical costs without reducing results quality. Besides, the method is simple and rapid, since it uses external calibration curves prepared from Hg2+standard solutions both for total Hg and CH3Hg+ determination.

Abstract
This work presents the investigation of utilizing adenine-functionalized polypropylene glycol (APPG) for capillary gas chromatographic separations. The statically coated APPG column (0.25 mm i.d.) showed moderate polarity and high column efficiencies of 4660 plates/m and 4376 plates/m determined by n-octanol and naphthalene, respectively. Remarkably, the APPG column baseline resolved all the components of the Grob test mixture and displayed good peak shapes for some stringent analytes that are prone to peak tailing or severe adsorption. Also, it achieved complete separation of dimethylaniline isomers, which are difficult to be resolved due to their high resemblance in structures and properties. The above results demonstrate the high selectivity and inertness of the APPG column and its distinct advantages over the polypropylene glycol (PPG) column and commercial polyethylene glycol (PEG) column. In addition, its separation performance has good repeatability with the RSD values on retention times below 0.05% for run-to-run, 0.11-0.12% for day-to-day and 1.7-1.9% for column-to-column, respectively. Further, the APPG column was applied to determination of isomer impurities in commercial dimethylaniline products and to determination of the additives of anilines and phenols in a hair-dye product, proving its great potential for practical GC analysis.

Abstract
Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) are efficient in extracting natural products. However, traditional organic solvents are toxic in the extraction of anthraquinones from Rheum palmatum L. To solve this problem, we applied natural deep eutectic solvent ultrasound-assisted extraction in this study for the extraction of total anthraquinones from R. palmatum L. Principal component analysis revealed that the selected NADES which consisted of lactic acid, glucose and water (LGH), was highly efficient in extracting anthraquinones from R. palmatum L. The ratio of lactic acid/glucose and the addition of water in LGH were investigated via a single-factor experiment. With a lactic acid/glucose ratio of 5 : 1 (mol/mol), and 10% of water (v/v), LGH had a high extraction yield to anthraquinones. Optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), the optimized extraction conditions of extraction time, extraction temperature and solvent-to-solid ratio of 1.5 h, 82 °C and 26 mL g−1, respectively. Under optimum conditions, the extraction yields of aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, physcion and total anthraquinones were 2.60 ± 0.01, 5.78 ± 0.02, 2.21 ± 0.02, 5.87 ± 0.02, 8.81 ± 0.01 and 25.27 ± 0.07 mg g−1, respectively. The enrichment and separation of five anthraquinones in LGH extraction solution were efficiently achieved using DM130 macroporous resin, with purities of 90.98%, 96.67%, 92.37%, 95.80% and 91.61% as indicated by HPLC, and recovery yields of 84.08%, 79.51%, 84.96%, 81.83% and 78.35%, respectively. LGH was environmentally friendly and highly efficient in extracting anthraquinones from R. palmatum L., and NADESs showed potential for the extraction of effective components from natural products. Natural deep eutectic solvents ultrasound-assisted extraction (NADES-UAE) was applied to extract total anthraquinones from Rheum palmatum L.![]()

Abstract
A non-chromatographic method based on double liquid-liquid extraction and measurements by UV photochemical vapor generation capacitively coupled plasma microtorch optical emission spectrometry was developed and characterized for methylmercury determination in seafood. Samples were prepared following the procedure recommended in JRC Technical Report of European Commission formerly proposed for the determination of methylmercury in seafood by thermal decomposition atomic absorption spectrometry, namely confinement of Hg species in 47% HBr solution, extraction of CH3Hg+ in toluene and back-extraction in 1% l-cysteine aqueous solution. Mercury cold vapor was generated by flow injection UV photo-reduction from CH3Hg+ in 0.6molL-1 HCOOH, while quantification was performed against external Hg2+ aqueous standards and measuring Hg 253.652nm emission using a low power/Ar consumption plasma microtorch (15W, 100mLmin-1) and a low resolution microspectrometer (Ocean Optics). The figures of merit and analytical capability were assessed by analyzing certified reference materials and test samples of fish fillet and discussed in relation with requirements for Hg determination in seafood in European legislation (Decisions 2007/333/EC and 2002/657/EC) as well as compared to performances achieved in thermal decomposition atomic absorption spectrometry. The limit of detection and quantification of 2µgkg-1 and 6µgkg-1 respectively, precision of 2.7-9.4% and accuracy of 99±8% of the proposed method for the determination of CH3Hg+ fulfill the demands of European legislation for Hg quantification. The limit of detection and quantification were better than those in the used reference method or other non-/chromatographic methods taken for comparison. The analysis of certified reference materials and the Bland and Altman test performed on 12 test samples confirmed trueness of the proposed method and its reliability for the determination of traces of CH3Hg+ with 95% confidence level. The proposed method fulfills several demands of the eco-scale concept, is sensitive, simple and safe related to sample preparation through elimination of classical, harmful reductants and attractive by using economical miniaturized instrumentation incorporating a low power and low Ar consumption plasma.

Abstract
In this chapter, several factors that should be considered for selecting and developing suitable analytical methods for determining nitrite/nitrate are presented. Nitrite and nitrate occurrence and suitability are a controversial issue. Nitrite is an approved additive considered a foremost curing ingredient for the preservation of meat products. Nitrate is a natural constituent of the human diet that, however, raises fears for its suggested potential harmfulness related to carcinogenesis and environmental contamination. Chemical, regulatory, and analytical aspects are discussed in the light of the need to obtain reliable data of nitrite and nitrate for law enforcement purposes, exposure estimates, and investigation of their physiological role in the human body. In addition, current metrological aspects to ensure the "fitness for purpose" of the selected method are suggested and discussed.

Abstract
A simple, rapid, sensitive, selective, and environmentally friendly method, based on in situ derivatization ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (in situ DUADLLME) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode has been developed for the simultaneous determination of food-related biogenic amines and amino acids. A new mass-spectrometry-sensitive derivatization reagent 4'-carbonyl chloride rosamine (CCR) was designed, synthesized, and first reported. Parameters and conditions of in situ DUADLLME and UHPLC-MS/MS were optimized in detail. Under the optimized conditions, the in situ DUADLLME was completed speedily (within 1 min) with high derivatization efficiencies (≥98.5%). With the cleanup and concentration of microextraction step, good analytical performance was obtained for the analytes. The results showed that this method was accurate and practical for quantification of biogenic amines and amino acids in common food samples (red wine, beer, wine, cheese, sausage, and fish).
