| A new amorphous carbon-based dispersivemicro solid-phase extraction method was developed for the
extraction and preconcentration of several mycotoxins from soymilk samples. The extracted analytes
were concentrated by a deep eutectic solvent-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction
method, and then, quantified by a high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector.
The sorbent was prepared from b-cyclodextrin and methionine under mild conditions. The sorbent
was doped by N and S, which improved its physicochemical properties. The optimization and
validation of the method were performed using the “one-variable-at-a-time” method and
International Council Harmonization guideline, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, low limits
of detection and quantifications in the ranges of 0.08–0.56 and 0.27–1.9 ng L1 were obtained,
respectively. Also, intra- (n ¼ 6) and inter-day (n ¼ 6) precisions showed an acceptable repeatability
of the present work as they were in the ranges of 3.9–6.2 and 4.6–8.9% at a concentration of
3 ng L1 of each analyte, respectively. Finally, the proposed method was performed on different
soymilk samples marketed in Tabriz city, and aflatoxin B1 was found in all samples. One soymilk was
contaminated by ochratoxin A. |
