Abstract

In this work, a novel ultrasound assisted-thin film microextraction (USA-TFME) method has been developed to determine organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in some fruits and vegetables samples followed by gas chromatography. In this regards, a novel nanocomposite (NC) was prepared by incorporation of zirconium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) into polystyrene (UiO-66/PS) and used as an efficient thin film. The effect of MOF doping level into UiO-66/PS NC and also the effective parameters influencing the TFME method has been studied. Based on the method validation, limits of detection were in the range of 1.5 to 3 µg kg−1. The intra-day precision, inter-day precision and inter-sorbent precision were in the range of 5.1 to 7.2, 5.3 to 10.2 and 4.6 to 7.3 %, respectively. The developed method was prosperously applied for determination of OPPs in some fruit and vegetable samples, leading to the acceptable relative recoveries in the range of 87.8% to 96.3%.
