摘要

A method for Hg determination in edible oils based on reversed-phase dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction and cold vapor generation coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was developed. The operational parameters were 5 g of edible oil, 0.5 mL of n-propanol, and 0.5 mL of 6 mol L−1 HCl used as dispersant and extractant solvents, respectively, heating (10 min at 80 °C), stirring (60 s), and centrifugation (5 min). No statistical difference (t-test, 95% confidence level) was observed for the accuracy assessment using a certified reference material. Moreover, recovery experiments were performed by addition of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 µg g−1 of Hg, and recoveries were close to 100%. A low limit of quantification (0.35 ng g−1) and relative standard deviation (7%) were obtained. Finally, the proposed method presented several advantages, including high throughput, easy-to-use instrumentation for sample preparation, high pre-concentration factor, low consumption of reagents, and low waste generation.
