A miniaturized liquid-phase extraction procedure based on directly suspended droplet microextraction is proposed for determining different classes of polyphenols. A derivatization reaction by means of in injection-port reaction with bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide is carried out to convert the polar nonvolatile polyphenols into volatile derivatives. The separation and detection is carried out by coupling gas chromatography with mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring mode. The procedure uses undecanone, a low density organic solvent, and several factors influencing the extraction, collection efficiency and derivatization reaction are optimized. Excellent linearity was obtained for the range studied (0.05-500 ng mL(-1)). The limits of detection are between 0.011 and 0.13 ng mL(-1), depending on the compound, and the limits of quantification between 0.037 and 0.43 ng mL(-1). The sensitivity and detection limits for polyphenols using the DSDME sample pretreatment method were very low. Enrichment factors are between 413 and 578. The recoveries obtained for spiked samples are satisfactory for all the compounds. The coupled miniaturized method is applied to the sensitive determination of both cis- and trans-resveratrol isomers, piceatannol, catechin, epicatechin, quercetin and fisetin in herbal infusions, fruits, juices and functional foods.
