Supramolecular solvent-based-vortex-assisted-dispersive liquid liquid microextraction of Sudan Black B in food samples prior to spectrophotometric detection.

ABSTRACT

A new, simple and rapid spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of Sudan Black B in food products by supramolecular solvent-based-vortex-assisted-dispersive liquid liquid microextraction (SUPRAS-VA-DLLME). Extraction solvent type, volume of solvent, pH, volume of THF, centrifugation time, vortex time, and sample volume were investigated as optimization parameters of the developed method. Under the optimum conditions, limit of detection and limit of quantification, preconcentration factor and enhancement factor of the developed method were calculated to be 9.01 µg L-1, 29.73 µg L-1, 20, and 55, respectively. The developed microextraction method was successfully applied to food samples for the determination of Sudan Black B.
