Abstract
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) should be naturally free of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination. PAHs are carcinogenic and toxic, and may cause human health and safety problems. This work aims to detect benzo[a]pyrene residues in EVOO using an easily adaptive optical methodology. This approach, which is based on fluorescence spectroscopy, does not require any sample pretreatment or prior extraction of PAH content from the sample, and is reported for the first time herein. The detection of benzo[a]pyrene even at low concentrations in extra virgin olive oil samples demonstrates fluorescence spectroscopy's capability to ensure food safety.

Abstract
Permanent online monitoring of water supply pollution by hydrocarbons is needed for various industrial plants, to serve as an alert when thresholds are exceeded. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a suitable technique for this purpose due to its sensitivity and moderate cost. However, fluorescence measurements can be disturbed by the presence of suspended organic matter, which induces beam scattering and absorption, leading to an underestimation of hydrocarbon content. To overcome this problem, we propose an original technique of fluorescence spectra correction, based on a measure of the excitation beam scattering caused by suspended organic matter on the left side of the Rayleigh scattering spectral line. This correction allowed us to obtain a statistically validated estimate of the naphthalene content (used as representative of the polyaromatic hydrocarbon contamination), regardless of the amount of suspended organic matter in the sample. Moreover, it thus becomes possible, based on this correction, to estimate the amount of suspended organic matter. By this approach, the online warning system remains operational even when suspended organic matter is present in the water supply.

Screening of edible oils for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using microwave-assisted liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction coupled to one- to three-way fluorescence spectroscopy analysis. Talanta 2012; 100:439-46. [PMID: 23141362 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2012.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2012] [Revised: 08/08/2012] [Accepted: 08/09/2012] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The potential of microwave-assisted liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction coupled with fluorescence spectroscopy and employing one- to three-way spectral data was assessed in terms of their capacity for the rapid detection of heavy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in olive and sunflower oils. Tocopherols and pigments groups (chlorophyll and pheophytin) present in oil matrices were the main interference compounds in the detection of PAHs using fluorescence spectroscopy. Partial spectral overlap and inner-filter effects were observed in the emission range of the analytes. The effectiveness of removing these interferences using solid phase extraction (silica, C18 and graphitized carbon black) was examined. Solid phase extraction with silica was the most effective method for the removal of pigments and tocopherol and allowed for the detection of PAHs in edible oils using fluorescence spectroscopy. The limit of detection was observed to depend on the use of one-, two- or three-way fluorescence spectral data in the range of 0.8 to 7.0 μg kg(-1). The individual recoveries of PAHs following the microwave-assisted L-L extraction and SPE with silica were assessed using HPLC-FD with satisfactory results.

Abstract
The direct determination in drinking water of perylene, chrysene, pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene, and benzo[k]fluoranthene, by front-face synchronous fluorimetry on a commercial SPE disk, has been evaluated. Sorbent treatment, influence of humic substances, and pH effect are discussed. In pure water the detection limits were estimated to be in the range 0.03-0.01 microg L(-1). A working pH in the range 10-11 was found to minimize the fluorescence quenching effect of humic substances. The proposed method combined with a partial-least-square (PLS) treatment was tested for quantitative analysis of mixtures of four PAH in a spiked drinking water.
