Vitamin based dispersive micro solid phase extraction procedure combined with dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) was introduced as an efficient and simple method for the extraction and preconcentration of some pesticides from vegetable samples. In this study, the analytes were extracted by vitamin B2 particles and the loaded analytes onto the sorbent were eluted by a water-miscible solvent and then concentrated into a ternary component deep eutectic solvent (tetrabutylammonium chloride: p-aminophenol: linalool DES) by performing DLLME approach. The extracted and concentrated analytes were determined by gas chromatography (GC) coupled to flame ionization detector (FID) and mass spectrometry (MS), independently. Finally, both GC–FID and GC–MS were used to measure the analytes. The effect of several parameters like: the amount of vitamin B2, eluent type, sample solution pH, and salt concentration on the introduced method efficiency was studied. Under the optimized conditions, wide linear ranges (2.6–1000 ng mL−1 by GC–FID and 0.29–100 ng mL−1 by GC–MS) were obtained. The limits of detection obtained by GC–FID and GC–MS were in the ranges of 0.35–0.78 and 0.01–0.09 ng mL−1, respectively. Restive standard deviations were ≤ 6.0% and ≤ 4.6% for GC–FID and GC–MS, respectively. Finally, the developed method was applied successfully for analysis of the selected pesticides in vegetable samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A vortex‐assisted dispersive micro‐solid‐phase extraction procedure using a new and green sorbent was developed as a simple, fast, and efficient sample preparation method for the extracting five pesticides in several fruit juice samples. In this study, for the first time, riboflavin was used as an efficient sorbent. A few milligrams of riboflavin was directly added into the aqueous solution containing the analytes to adsorb them. After adsorption the analytes, they were desorbed and more concentrated by a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction procedure. The influence of several effective parameters such as amount of riboflavin, pH, vortex time, eluent nature and volume, and extraction solvent type and volume on the extraction efficiency was investigated. In optimal conditions, linear ranges of the calibration curves were broad. The limits of detection and quantification were attained in the ranges of 0.56–1.5 and 1.9–0.52 ng mL−1, respectively. The proposed method demonstrated to be suitable for concurrent extraction of the studied pesticides in various fruit juice samples with high enrichment factors (320–360) and precision (relative standard deviation ≤7.8% for intra‐ [n = 6] and interday [n = 4] precisions at a concentration of 25 ng mL−1 of each pesticide).
