In this work, an ultrasound-assisted emulsification-microextraction method has been optimised for the determination in wine of haloanisoles (2,4,6-trichloranisole (TCA), 2,3,4,6-tetrachloroanisole (TeCA), 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA) and pentachloranisole (PCA)) responsible for the so-called cork taint. Their halophenolic precursors (2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (TeCP), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP)) have also been simultaneously determined. For this purpose, parameters affecting the USAEME-derivatisation procedure were exhaustively investigated. Firstly, extraction solvent, basic conditions and extraction time were selected to, subsequently, employ experimental design methodology for the simultaneous optimisation of the volumes of acetic anhydride and extraction solvent, temperature and ionic strength conditions. Once optimised, the evaluation of the analytical performance of the method confirmed its suitability for the determination of the studied compounds in wines. The proposed method showed satisfactory linearity (correlation coefficients over 0.981), repeatability (below 10.9%) and inter-day precision (below 11.0%). Detection limits obtained were similar or even lower than previously reported. In addition, the proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of real samples. To our knowledge, this is the first time that USAME method has been optimised for the simultaneous determination of haloanisoles and halophenols in wine.

Article Synopsis
- Benzotriazoles (BTR) and bisphenols (BP) are common artificial contaminants that were investigated in urban runoff in Iceland, which is typically considered very clean.
- The study involved collecting water samples from seven locations along Iceland's Ring Road in February 2023 and August 2024 to evaluate levels of these contaminants using advanced extraction and detection methods.
- Results showed that all locations had detectable levels of BTRs and BPs, with the highest concentrations found in early samples, highlighting the need for monitoring these emerging contaminants in even the least polluted environments.

Benzotriazoles (BTRs) and bisphenols (BPs), categorized as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), pose significant risks to human health and ecosystems due to their endocrine-disrupting properties and environmental persistence. This study investigates the occurrence and behavior of nine BTRs and ten BPs in wastewater generated in a large-scale meat processing plant, evaluating the effectiveness of a modern mechanical-biological industrial on-site treatment plant in removing these contaminants, and based on the concentration levels from eleven sampling points at different stages of the treatment process. The method used to determine these micropollutants' concentration was ultrasound-assisted emulsification-microextraction for analytes isolation and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for detection (USAEME-GC/MS).

Sweeteners play an irreplaceable role in daily life and have been found in multitudinous food products. However, excessive or unreasonable intake of sweeteners as food additives brings about untoward problems due to the accumulation in the human body. Therefore, a comprehensive review of different sweeteners' pretreatment and determination methods is urgently needed.

A rapid, sensitive, economically and ecologically friendly method based on one-step ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction and in situ derivatization followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for simultaneous determination of low molecular benzotriazoles and benzotriazole-based ultraviolet filters was developed. The optimized method allows quantification of benzotriazole, 4-methylbenzotriazole, 5-methylbenzotriazole; 5-chlorobenzotriazole, 2-(2'-hydroxy-3'-tert-butyl-5'-methylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzortriazole and 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl)benzotriazole in municipal and industrial (dairy) wastewater. The method was validated using real influent and effluent wastewater and samples at various stages of the purification process.

A new and simple deep eutectic solvent based ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (DES-UAEME) procedure has been developed for preconcentration and voltammetric determination of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in cereal products. The method is based on the acetonitrile-based extraction of AFB1 from homogenized cereal samples followed by a DES-UAEME procedure for subsequent differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) determination in a microcell. A DES composed of choline chloride and urea (ChCl-Ur) was used as the extraction solvent and electrolyte for DPV detection.
