Abstract
A fast, simple and green method was established for the extraction of Al, Be, Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, P, Pb, V and Zn from soil samples using ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvents (DESs). DESs based on choline chloride, carboxylic acids and polyols were investigated. It was established that the solvent synthesized from choline chloride and oxalic acid provided the highest extraction recovery (85-104%). Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was employed to determine the target analytes in the extracts. The parameters that affect the extraction of target analytes was optimized using standard reference samples. Target analytes could be effectively isolated from soil samples using 0.5 g of DES, ultrasound for 40 min, and heating at 80 ℃. The content of the target analytes determined by this method showed no significant difference from the certified values of 24 reference samples. The proposed method was applied to quantify target analytes in real soil samples. Compared to the traditional acid digestion method, this method showed no significant difference in precision and accuracy, with a confidence level of 95%. The proposed method was found to be simple, accurate and environmentally friendly.

A surfactant-based quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent for dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction of gliflozins from environmental water samples using UHPLC/fluorescence detection. Talanta 2024; 266:124950. [PMID: 37524041 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124950] [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: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Despite the anticipated exceptional properties of deep eutectic solvents (DES) in microextraction techniques, their self-aggregation behaviour has only been sporadically studied in the previous literature. In the presented study, a novel surfactant-based quasi-hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (DES) is synthesized and utilized in dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) of three gliflozins in environmental water samples as a proof-of-concept examples. The synthesized DES is composed of benzalkonium chloride (BZKCl) as a hydrogen bond acceptor and octanol (Oct) as a hydrogen bond donor. A full optimization of the extraction conditions was carried out including molar ratio and composition of DES, volume of DES, volume of water samples, extraction time and type of diluting solvent. Moreover, the extraction mechanism was thoroughly investigated, and it was established that the extraction of the target analytes is attributed to the analytes' incorporation into the micelles' cores that facilitates mass transfer from the aqueous layer into DES layer. Furthermore, micelles formed by surfactant-based DES will provide adequate dispersion of extractant phase within water samples, which consequently improves the extraction efficiency. Micelles formation was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, 1H NMR spectra verifies that the synthesized DES keeps its integrity even after extraction, which excludes any decomposition of DES after DLLME procedure. The extraction recovery is in an excellent agreement with the hydrophobicity of the investigated drugs, being the highest for the most hydrophobic one. The extracted analytes were separated by UHPLC coupled with fluorescence detection. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the method exhibits excellent linearity and a high detection sensitivity with a limit of detection of 0.5, 2.0 and 0.1 ng mL-1 for EMP (empagliflozin), DAP (dapagliflozin) and CAN (canagliflozin), respectively. The greenness of the developed microextraction approach was assessed by different greenness metrics such as Complex GAPI and AGREE tools. The developed method shows excellent greenness of synthetic procedure for preparation of DES, the environmentally benign nature of DLLME procedure as well as the greenness of the developed UHPLC approach.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been developed as green solvents and these are capable as alternatives to conventional solvents used for the extraction of organic and inorganic species from food and water samples. The continuous generation of contaminated waste and increasing concern for the human health and environment have compelled the scientific community to investigate more ecological schemes. In this concern, the use of DESs have developed in one of the chief approach in the field of chemistry. These solvents have appeared as a capable substitute to conventional hazardous solvents and ionic liquids. The DESs has distinctive properties, easy preparation and components availability. It is not only used in scienctific fields but also used in quotidian life. There are many advantages of DESs in analytical chemistry, they are largely used for extraction and determination of inorganic and organic compounds from different samples. In previous a few years, several advanced researches have been focused on the separation and preconcentration of low level of pollutants using DESs as the extractants. This review summarizes the use of DESs in the separation and preconcentration of organic and inorganic species from water and food samples using various microextraction processes.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are modified versions of ionic liquids (ILs) and are formed by the fusion of polar components (liquids or solids) via hydrogen bonding interactions. DESs are prepared by the simple mixing of two or three cheap constituents (that are capable of self-association) with gentle heating, which leads to a drastic decrease in their melting points. The resultant clear homogeneous mixture consists of cations, anions, as well as neutral molecules; this will contribute both ionic and molecular solvent properties to the DESs. DESs have emerged as alternatives to conventional organic solvents and ILs, which meet different criteria such as availability, low cost, low toxicity, biodegradability, recyclability, ease of preparation method, tunable, and designer physiochemical properties. Many of them have attracted considerable attention and haave been applied in distinct fields of chemistry. To summarize the full-scale development of DESs, this review discusses the history, classifications, various methods of preparation, properties, and some major applications in catalysis in the last three years. This review is expected to be helpful for the further development of DESs based on a summary of the fundamental research in the field.

Hydrolysis of triglycerides in milk to provide fatty acids as precursors in the formation of deep eutectic solvent for extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Talanta 2022; 237:122968.

Abstract
A microextraction pretreatment for powdered milk analysis, relying on the formation of a natural deep eutectic solvent is proposed. It relies on the in situ hydrolysis of milk fats (triglycerides) which yields fatty acids as precursors in the formation of the natural deep eutectic solvent. As a proof-of-concept, the innovation was applied to the determination of thirteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in powdered milk samples by HPLC with fluorometric detection. The alkaline hydrolysis of milk triglycerides minimized sample matrices interference through removal of proteins and fats, and led to formation of natural deep eutectic solvent precursors (fatty acids) directly from the sample components. Addition of only one precursor (terpenoid) was then required. Menthol and thymol (natural terpenoids) were investigated as deep eutectic solvent precursors for microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Under the selected experimental conditions, limits of detection were estimated within the 0.002-0.09 μg kg-1 range. The innovation provided satisfactory (70-91%) extraction of hydrophobic analytes from complex powdered milk matrices containing hydrophobic components (triglycerides) without the need for hazardous organic solvents. The RSD values were <5.2%.

Abstract
Paper has been widely employed as cheap material for the development of a great number of sensors such as pregnancy tests, strips to measure blood sugar, and COVID-19 rapid tests. The need for new low-cost analytical devices is growing, and consequently the use of these platforms will be extended to different assays, both for the final consumer and within laboratories. This work describes a paper-based electrochemical sensing platform that uses a paper disc conveniently modified with recognition molecules and a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) to achieve the detection of gluten in a deep eutectic solvent (DES). This is the first method coupling a paper biosensor based on aptamers and antibodies with the DES ethaline. Ethaline proved to be an excellent extraction medium allowing the determination of very low gluten concentrations. The biosensor is appropriate for the determination of gluten with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.2 mg L−1 of sample; it can detect gluten extracted in DES with a dynamic range between 0.2 and 20 mg L−1 and an intra-assay coefficient of 10.69%. This approach can be of great interest for highly gluten-sensitive people, who suffer from ingestion of gluten quantities well below the legal limit, which is 20 parts per million in foods labeled gluten-free and for which highly sensitive devices are essential.
