A metal-organic framework/polyaniline composite was synthesized and doped with silica nanoparticles. The structure and morphology of the composite were characterized using Fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy and scanning electronmicroscopy. It was packed inside a cartridge and evaluated for the solid-phase extraction of thymol and carvacrol, followed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection measurement. The influence of the important experimental variables on the efficiency of the proposed method, including pH, ionic strength, volume of sample solution and type, and volume of eluent were studied and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the relative standard deviations were found to be 3.8 and 9.8% for thymol and carvacrol, respectively, and the corresponding limits of detection were 0.1 and 1.0 ng/mL. The linear dynamic ranges for the calibration curves of the analytes were 10-10000 ng/mL, with determination coefficients (R-2) > 0.993. The limits of quantifications were found to be 0.01 and 0.5 mu g/mL, for thymol and carvacrol, respectively. The prepared nanocomposite sorbent was applied successfully to the extraction and determination of thymol and carvacrol in Lamiaceae plant extracts and a honey sample, with relative recoveries in the range of 90.28-122.0%.
