Summary: A novel liquid-liquid microextraction approach using a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent formed by pH adjustment was successfully applied for the determination of sulfonamides in milk samples. The nature of precursors played a crucial role in the extraction process, providing different types of interactions with analytes. In situ formation of solvent microdroplets facilitated rapid mass transfer of sulfonamides.

Summary: A method using new extraction solvents is proposed for completely decolorizing textile wastewaters, aiming to drastically reduce water consumption. This technique allows for water reuse and addresses one of the textile industry's biggest challenges of generating enormous amounts of liquid residues. Dyes are the most common pollutants in these effluents, posing toxicity risks to humans, aquatic life, and the environment. Achieving full decolorization is essential for obtaining clean water that can be repurposed according to circular economy principles.

Summary: In this study, a green emulsification liquid-liquid microextraction method using deep eutectic solvents (DES) was optimized to extract phthalates from food contact materials (FCMs) for GC-MS determination. The Choline Chloride:Phenol (1:2 molar ratio) DES system was found to be the most effective for phthalate extraction, with Tetrahydrofuran (THF) utilized as the emulsifier solvent. The method showed good precision, with low quantification limits and high recovery rates, confirming its applicability for assessing phthalates and their migration from FCMs.

Summary: A low-toxicity hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (DES) was synthesized and characterized, and a simple and rapid vortex-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction method was developed based on this DES for the extraction of eight quinolones from cattle urine. The method showed good linearity, with linear ranges of 1 to 100 μg/L, and low limits of detection and quantification. The average extraction recoveries of spiked cattle urine samples were satisfactory. This method provides a reference for the pre-treatment of quinolone residue detection.

Summary: In this study, switchable ionic liquids were synthesized and screened to improve the polarity and recyclability of deep eutectic solvents. By coupling with hydrogen-bond donors, a switchable-DES system with modified properties, such as viscosity, conductivity, and pH, was formed, leading to enhanced solubility of lignin compounds and improved molecular weight and uniformity. This proposed system has potential applications in the fractionation of lignin compounds and downstream industrial processes.

Summary: The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different forms of cinnamon essential oil (oil, emulsion, and nanoemulsion) on the properties of cress seed gum film. The addition of emulsion and nanoemulsion improved the elongation at break and reduced water vapor permeability and solubility in water. Films incorporated with cinnamon essential oil had a smooth surface, increased whiteness index and lightness, and decreased a* and b* parameters. Nanoemulsion-loaded films exhibited enhanced antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities.

Summary: For the first time, a dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-mu SPE) based on graphene oxide was used for the ultrasensitive determination of Cd. With this method, Cd can be efficiently extracted from a mixture of alkali and alkaline earth metals without the need for an elution step. The combination of D-mu SPE and SAGD OES significantly reduces matrix effects and improves the tolerance of Cd to alkali metals. The method shows simplicity in the measurement system and the commercially available nanosorbent used.

Summary: This work proposes a rapid and sensitive spectroscopic method for detecting melamine in food products using rare-earth Terbium-doped Graphene Quantum Dots (Tb-GQDs) synthesized by microwave and simple chemical conjugation methods. The synthesized Tb-GQDs show a spherical shape with a size of approximately 6 nm and a quantum yield of 52%. The maximum detection limit for melamine concentration in milk and milk products is found to be 0.31 μM. The dual emitting Tb-GQDs provide a sensitive and effective platform for real-time detection of melamine in food samples, particularly in milk, and show promising potential in the food industry.
