A new green alternative vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method based on a natural hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent was developed for the extraction of 14 phthalic acid esters and one adipate in cold infusions and tonic waters. Analyses were carried out using ultra-performance liquid chromatog. coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Different eutectic mixtures based on the monoterpene thymol (essential oil of thyme) and medium-chain fatty acids (octanoic and decanoic acids) at different molar ratios were tested in this regard. The effect of different factors affecting extraction efficiency was optimized through a systematic approach. The method was validated by means of precision, matrix-matched calibration, recovery, and repeatability studies using two different deuterated surrogate standards (di-Bu phthalate-3,4,5,6-d4 and dihexyl phthalate-3,4,5,6-d4). The method proved to be linear (determination coefficients were higher than 0.9912) with normalized recoveries in the range between 71 and 124% (except for di-n-octyl phthalate at a low concentration level in tonic water [63%]). Then, the method was applied for the anal. of the selected compounds in 3 pineapple/green tea-based cold infusions and 8 tonic beverages. Finally, the greenness of the procedure was assessed using the Anal. Eco-Scale. This paper represents the first application of this natural hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent for the anal. of phthalate esters, and, also the first time, these compounds are analyzed in cold infusion and tonic water. A green method was developed for the anal. of phthalate esters in soft drinks using natural hydrophobic eutectic solvents. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Dicyclohexyl phthalate (cas: 84-61-7Quality Control of Dicyclohexyl phthalate).
Dicyclohexyl phthalate (cas: 84-61-7) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials.Quality Control of Dicyclohexyl phthalate
