Exploiting agarose gel modified with glucose-fructose syrup as a green sorbent in rotating-disk sorptive extraction technique for the determination of trace malondialdehyde in biological and food samples.

This research reports for the first time on the application of agarose gel impregnated with high fructose corn syrup (AG/HFCS) as a biodegradable and eco-friendly extraction phase in rotating-disk sorptive extraction (RDSE). The gel disk is driven by a rotary rod attached to an electric stirrer during extraction. Malondialdehyde (MDA) was chosen as a model analyte, and was extracted from biological and food samples using the proposed technique after derivatization with 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA). Due to the hydrophilic nature of the sorbent phase, MDA was concentrated efficiently. After extraction, MDA was quantified directly in the gel disk by solid phase visible spectrophotometry and smartphone-based Red-Green-Blue (RGB) detection. The procedure used no organic solvents, showed clear advantages in terms of simplicity and short analysis time (5 min), and showed potential as a green analytical method. The extraction procedure was studied and optimized to maximize the partition of MDA into the gel. Under optimized conditions, the method provided linear dynamic ranges of 5.5-1000 ng mL
