Abstract
A novel, ecofriendly, and easy extraction and preconcentration method named as vortex‐assisted spraying‐based fine droplet formation liquid‐phase microextraction was proposed for the determination of prochloraz at trace levels in orange juice samples by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). In this novel system, extraction solvent is dispersed by the help of spraying apparatus instead of dispersive solvent. Various parameters of the method were carefully optimized to increase signal‐to‐noise ratio of the analyte. Under the optimum chromatographic and extraction conditions, limit of detection and limit of quantification were calculated as 3.2 and 10.8 μg/kg, respectively. Moreover, enhancement in quantification power for the GC‐MS system was determined as 372 folds based on LOQ comparison. Relative recovery results for orange juice samples were found to be between 95.0–107.7% by utilizing matrix matching calibration. Furthermore, the developed method may be used to efficiently and simply extract other organic compounds for their determinations in several matrices.
