An Environmentally Friendly Method for Extraction of Parabens in Various Samples Using Low Viscosity and Low Cloud Point Temperature Surfactant
Abstract:Cloud point extraction is developed using a low viscosity surfactant (Sylgard 309) coupled with HPLC-UV. It is a simple method for extraction of parabens in various samples. At the optimum conditions, the method developed achieves limit of detection and extraction recoveries in the range of 0.01 ppm -0.02 ppm and 68.5% -119.3%, respectively. Linearity of the calibration curves in the range of 0.2-1.0 mg/L. The correlation coefficient are achieved between 0.9995-0.9999. Each replicated samples are spiked with 1… Show more
