Highly efficient determination of metal ion in cosmetic samples by reversed-phase liquid-liquid microextraction based on green hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent.

In this paper, a green hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) composed of menthol and hexanoic acid was employed to dissolve cosmetics containing Cd and Cd was extracted using an EDTA-2Na saturated solution, analyzed by FAAS. The study found that HDES-1 can be recycled and reused well; the stability constants of Cd EDTA chelates play an important role in the extracting process; the optimum conditions were: the solubility of HDES-1 was 20 mL/g for cosmetic sample at an indoor temperature of around 10 °C; the dissolver-extractant ratio was 2:1; the LOD was 0.037 mg/kg; the RSD was 3.

Separation and Purification of Polysaccharides by Deep Eutectic Solvents-Based Aqueous Two-Phase System.

(1) Background: Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) have been widely used in the separation and purification of bioactive substances in recent years. (2) Methods: In this study, deep eutectic solvents (DESs)-based ATPSs were employed for the extraction and separation of polysaccharides (AMP). The optimal DES (choline chloride:urea = 1:1) was first screened to extract AMP, and the effect of DES concentration, solid-liquid ratio, pH, extraction temperature, and extraction time on the extraction yield of AMP were investigated.
