Development of an automatic multiple dynamic hollow fibre liquid-phase microextraction procedure for specific migration analysis of new active food packagings containing essential oils

J Chromatogr A. 2007 Dec 7;1174(1-2):85-94. doi: 10.1016/j.chroma.2007.08.033. Epub 2007 Aug 17.

Abstract

A two-phase based hollow fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HFLPME) with a high automatization degree and able to process up to six samples simultaneously by means of a multiple channel syringe pump has been successfully developed. The experimental set-up allows to carry out dynamic extractions with a considerable reduction of sample handling. The system has been applied for the first time to the determination in aqueous food simulant of migrants from prototypes of active packagings to assess their safety before marketing, showing detection limits in the ng g(-1) range, relative standard deviations below 13% and concentration factors ranging from 83 to 338.
