Abstract

A polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating was electrospun on the shaft of the mechanical stir bar sorptive extraction (MSBSE) setup. MSBSE equipped with the PAN/PDMS coating and coupled with gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (MSBSE-PAN/PDMS-GC/FID) was used to determine some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in non-alcoholic beer samples. The effective parameters including extraction time, desorption time, stirring speed and sample volume were optimized by the response surface methodology (RSM) based on the central composite design (CCD). The optimum condition was obtained in 60 min of extraction time, 10 min of desorption time, 1300 rpm of stirring speed and 16 mL of sample volume. The calibration curves of PAHs were linear in the range 5–1000 ng mL−1. The limit of detections (LODs) was in the range of 0.009–0.5 ng mL−1 and the limit of qualifications (LOQs) was varied between 0.03 and 1.5 ng mL−1. The relative recoveries and enrichment factors were in the range of 94–98% and 117–126, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were below 11.4%.
