9 SOLID PHASE MICRO-EXTRACTION AND HEADSPACE TRAPPING EXTRACTION 9.3.9 Determination of the Linear Dynamic Range of the Method Modifi cation of the extraction conditions affects both the sensitivity and the equilibration time. It is advisable, therefore, to check the previously determined extraction time before proceeding to the determination of the linear dynamic range. This step is required if substantial changes in sensitivity occur during the optimization process. SPME coating includes polymeric liquids, such as PDMS, which by defi nition have a broad linear range. For solid sorbents, such as Carbowax/DVB or PDMS/DVB, the linear range is narrower because of the limited number of sorption sites on the surface, but it still can span over several orders of magnitude for typical analytes in pure matrices. In some rare cases when the analyte has extremely high affi nity to the surface, saturation can occur at low analyte concentrations. In such cases, the linear range can be expanded by shortening the extraction time. 9.3.10 Selection of the Calibration Method Standard calibration procedures such as external calibration can be used with SPME. The fi ber blank should fi rst be checked to ensure that neither the fi ber nor the instrument causes interference with the determination. The fi ber should be conditioned prior to the fi rst use by desorption in a GC injector or in a specially designed conditioning device. This process ensures that the fi ber coating itself does not introduce interference. Fiber conditioning may have to be repeated after analysis of samples containing large amounts of high molecular weight compounds, since such compounds may require longer desorption times than the analytes of interest. A special calibration procedure, such as isotopic dilution or standard addition, should be used for more complex samples. In these methods, it is assumed that the target analytes behave similarly to spikes during the extraction. This is usually a valid assumption when analyzing homogeneous samples. 9.3.11 Precision of the Method The most important factors affecting precision in SPME are: • Agitation conditions • Sampling time (if non-equilibrium conditions are used) • Temperature • Condition of the fi ber coating (cracks, adsorption of high molecular weight species) • Geometry of the fi ber (thickness and length of the coating) • Sample matrix components (salt, organic material, humidity, etc.) 152
EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGIES FOR MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS 9.3.12 Suitability • Time between extraction and analysis • Analyte loss (adsorption on the walls, permeation of Tefl on, absorption by septa) SPME is well suited to the analysis of fl avor and fragrance compounds. The typically small, volatile compounds are easily extracted by the fi bers, and the simplicity of the method allows easy coupling to analytical instruments. Headspace trapping can reduce the potential for interference peaks and prevent contamination of both the needle and the instrument. Loss of these volatile compounds during sample preparation steps is minimized or eliminated compared to conventional methods, and the method is amenable to fi eld sampling and analysis. SPME has been shown to be useful for semivolatile compounds, even though these appeared more challenging in the early years. With appropriate matrix modifi cation, one can take advantage of headspace trapping for these as well. SPME provides signifi cant convenience for fi eld and air analysis. Quantifi cation is relatively straightforward, even in the presence of varying air temperature. Finally, the use of SPME for time-weighted average sampling provides simplicity in monitoring fl avor and fragrance concentrations over time. 9.4 Headspace Trapping Extraction and GC-FID/ MS Analysis Orange juice volatiles were extracted from the juice headspace using a syringe-like SPME device equipped with a 75 μm Carboxen-PDMS fi ber (Supelco). Aliquots (25 ml) of juice were placed in 40-ml glass vials with plastic screw caps and Tefl on-coated septa, warmed to 40° C, and gently swirled to coat the walls of the vial. Juices were allowed to equilibrate for at least 15 min prior to fi ber insertion and were maintained at 40° C throughout the 35-min extraction period. The fi ber was then removed from the headspace and inserted into the heated GC injector, where the volatile compounds were thermally desorbed. Flavor extract was separated using an HP 5890 GC instrument equipped with a 30 m x 0.32 mm i.d. DB5 capillary column. Column temperature was initially 32° C, with a 3-min hold, and was then increased at 6° C/min to 200° C. Helium carrier gas linear velocity was 29 cm/s. A special narrow boar (0.75 mm) injector liner was used to improve peak shape and chromatographic effi ciency; the entire separation was conducted in the splitless mode. 153
