Abstract
Hydrodistillation (HD) coupled with headspace single-drop microextraction by using ionic liquid (IL) as the extraction solvent, followed by gas chromatography analysis technique, was successfully developed to determine the volatile and semivolatile compounds in seeds of Cuminum cyminum L. In the proposed method, a 1.5-μL microdrop of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, working as the extraction solvent was suspended in the headspace of a 50-mL round-bottom sample flask. After extracting for 30 min, both IL and target analytes were injected into the gas chromatographic system by thermal desorption for 5 s under 240 °C. Then, the IL was retracted back to the microsyringe. Thus, the capillary column should not be contaminated and a clean chromatogram was obtained. The parameters affecting extraction performance were investigated and optimized. The extraction efficiency of the proposed method was compared with that of HD, which is a standard extraction method. The contents of constituents in the extract obtained by the proposed method were close to those obtained by HD. It seems to be an environmentally friendly, time-saving, high efficiency and low solvent consumption technique and would be useful, especially for aromatic plants analysis.
