Abstract
A new assay based on effective (high recovery) extraction by means of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was developed for ppb level determination of zinc in fishes and eel samples. Choline chloride and Phenol in a 1:2 M ratio was selected as optimal DES-based extraction solvent. 8-Hydroxy quinoline was used as a chelating agent for zinc ions. The optimized conditions were found at pH value of 8, ligand concentration of 10 mg/L, THF volumetric ratio in bulk solution of 0.5:10. The total time at optimal sample preparation conditions was 5 min for digested sample. Developed method fits to the purpose of routine analysis of fishes and eels. The LOD and LOQ were found 0.041 μg/kg and 0.136 μg/kg with pre-concentration factor of 25 and RSD 1.7%.
