A synergistic effect of hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents based on terpenoids and carboxylic acids for tetracycline microextraction.

Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents were investigated for tetracycline microextraction. It was found that a deep eutectic solvent consisting of thymol and octanoic acid provided a synergistic effect on tetracycline extraction. In this paper, a novel liquid–liquid microextraction procedure for the HPLC-DAD determination of tetracyclines in milk samples was proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
