Determination of three endocrine disrupting compounds

Conventional methods for isolation and enrichment of EDCs related chemicals involved solid phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction, solid phase microextraction and liquid phase microextraction. However, these methods are very time-consuming and tedious.
A rapid, effective and eco-friendly method for the simultaneous determination of BPA, BPAF, and BPAP in food packaging was developed. This technique combines extraction and preconcentration of the analytes into one step, simplifies the analytical step, saves operation time and avoids using toxic solvents. This method was successfully applied to determine trace levels of BPA, BPAF and BPAP in real samples (Food Chemistry, November 2015).
