| In the present survey, a nitrogen-doped amorphous carbon nanocomposite has been prepared simply and eco-friendly from
heating an acidic solution of sorbitol and urea. It was used as an efficient sorbent in dispersive solid phase extraction for the
extraction of some pesticides (chlorpyrifos, diniconazole, clodinafop–propargyl, oxadiazon, fenpropathrin and penconazole)
from fruit juice samples. The method was followed by a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction procedure for more preconcentration
of the analytes. The extracted analytes were determined by gas chromatography–flame ionization detection.
Under optimized experimental conditions, relative standard deviations were in the ranges of 3–5% and 5–7% for intra-day
(n = 6) and inter-day (n = 4) precisions, respectively, at a concentration of 10 μg L−
1 for each analyte. The limits of detection
and quantification were in the ranges of 0.89–1.3 and 3.0–4.3 μg L−1, respectively. The linear ranges were achieved in the
range of 3.0–2000 μg L−1. Also, enrichment factors and extraction recoveries were obtained in the ranges of 380–455 and
76–91%, respectively. Finally, the developed approach was performed to determine the studied pesticide residues in various
fruit juices including pomegranate, sour cherry, grape, orange and apple. |
