Cost-effective Phytohormone Extraction of Sargassum swartzii from the Persian Gulf Using Magnetic Ionic Liquid.

Introduction: Algae extracts are utilized as biofertilizers instead of chemical ferti-lizers in agriculture. Further, algae are known to possess a high content of plant hormones, such as gibberellin, salicylic acid, abscisic acid, and brassinosteroids.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to increase the extraction yield and simulta-neously extract hormones required for plant growth from Sargassum swartzii using Magnetic recoverable ionic liquid (IL).

Application of novel metal organic framework-deep eutectic solvent/molecularly imprinted polymer multiple monolithic fiber for solid phase microextraction of amphetamines and modafinil in unauthorized medicinal supplements with GC-MS.

The goal of this research is the development of multiple monolithic fiber-solid phase microextraction (MMF-SPME) using a new integrated fiber for the determination of amphetamine derivatives and modafinil from unauthorized medicinal supplements. For this purpose, a monolithic fiber of metal organic framework MIL-Al (53)-deep eutectic solvent (DES)/molecularly imprinted polymers (MOF-DES/MIP) was synthesized. To find optimum microextraction conditions gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) was used and the influences of effective variables were investigated using one factor at a time method.

The fabrication of a novel polyacrylonitrile/reduced graphene oxide-amino-halloysite/bimetallic metal-organic framework electrospun nanofiber adsorbent for the ultrasonic-assisted thin-film microextraction of fatty acid methyl esters in dairy products with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection.

In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile/reduced graphene oxide-amino-halloysite/bimetallic metal-organic framework (PAN/rGO-amino-HNT/CoZn(MeIm)) nanofiber film was synthesized and investigated as a novel adsorbent for the ultrasonic-assisted thin-film microextraction (UA-TFME) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), including palmitic methyl ester (PAME), oleic methyl ester (OAME), stearic methyl ester (SAME), and linoleic methyl ester (LAME), from dairy products. The hybrid nanocomposite was obtained bonding halloysite nanotubes to reduced graphene oxide, followed by loading with bimetallic metal-organic frameworks. The determination of FAMEs with nanofiber film was performed in two stages of desorption and absorption where, initially, the analytes were adsorbed onto the nanofiber film and then desorbed with organic solvent.

Fabrication of UMCM-1 based monolithic and hollow fiber - Metal-organic framework deep eutectic solvents/molecularly imprinted polymers and their use in solid phase microextraction of phthalate esters in yogurt, water and edible oil by GC-FID.

In this study, for the first time, hollow fiber and monolithic fiber were fabricated based on metal-organic framework deep eutectic solvents/molecularly imprinted polymers (MOF- DES/MIPs) and were used for microextraction of phthalate esters under termed hollow fiber liquid membrane-protected solid-phase microextraction (HFLMP-SPME) followed by gas chromatography- flame ionization detection. Several parameters influencing extraction recoveries of phthalate esters including adsorption and desorption parameters were investigated and optimized using fabricated MOF- DES/MIPs monolithic fiber. Under optimal conditions, detection limits (S/N = 3) of the method were in a range of 0.

A nanocomposite consisting of graphene oxide, zeolite imidazolate framework 8, and a molecularly imprinted polymer for (multiple) fiber solid phase microextraction of sterol and steroid hormones prior to their quantitation by HPLC.

A method is described for multiple monolithic fiber solid-phase microextraction of five sterol and steroid hormones from complex food samples. A composite was prepared from graphene oxide, a metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) and a molecularly imprinted polymers was deposited on a single thin fiber. Four thin fibers were combined to obtain a fiber bundle.

Fabrication of ciprofloxacin molecular imprinted polymer coating on a stainless steel wire as a selective solid-phase microextraction fiber for sensitive determination of fluoroquinolones in biological fluids and tablet formulation using HPLC-UV detection.

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) fiber on stainless steel wire using ciprofloxacin template with a mild template removal condition was synthetized and evaluated for fiber solid phase microextraction (SPME) of fluoroquinolones (FQs) from biological fluids and pharmaceutical samples, followed by high performance liquid chromatography analysis with UV detection (HPLC-UV). The developed MIP fiber exhibited high selectivity for the analytes in complex matrices. The coating of the fibers were inspected using fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, thermogaravimetric analysis, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy as well as by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

A novel ultrasound-assisted back extraction reverse micelles method coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection for determination of aldehydes in heated edibles oils.

A novel ultrasound-assisted back extraction reverse micelles coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detection has been developed for the extraction and determination of some short chain aldehydes in different heated edible oil samples. After the homogenization of the oil samples with Triton X-100, 200 μL of methanol was added to facilitate the phase separation. The aqueous micelle phase has been separated by centrifugation, then it was treated with a mixture of H2O: CHCl3 and ultrasonic vibration, were used to effectively back-extraction of the analytes into the chloroform phase.

Determination of β-sitosterol and cholesterol in oils after reverse micelles with Triton X-100 coupled with ultrasound-assisted back-extraction by a water/chloroform binary system prior to gas chromatography with flame ionization detection.

Ultrasonic back-extraction of Triton X-100 reverse micelles by a water/chloroform binary system and gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was developed for extraction and determination of β-sitosterol and cholesterol in soybean and sunflower oil samples. After the homogenization of the oil samples with Triton X-100, an aliquot of 200 μL of methanol was added to the samples to form two phases. The clear Triton X-100 extract obtained by centrifugation was treated with a mixture of water (1000 μL) and chloroform (300 μL) for back-extraction of the analytes into the chloroform phase by ultrasonication.

Determination of nicotine, anabasine, and cotinine in urine and saliva samples using single-drop microextraction.

A simple, sensitive, and inexpensive singe-drop microextraction (SDME) followed by gas chromatography and flame-ionization detection (GC-FID) was developed for determination of nicotine, anabasine, and cotinine in human urine and saliva samples. The target compounds were extracted from alkaline aqueous sample solution into an organic acceptor drop suspended on the tip of a 25-μL GC microsyringe in the aqueous sample solution. This microsyringe was also used for direct injection after extraction.
