Simultaneous derivatization and air-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction using an organic that is solvent lighter than water has been developed for the extraction of some parabens in different samples with the aid of a newly designed device for collecting the extractant. For this purpose, the sample solution is transferred into a glass test tube and a few microliters of acetic anhydride (as a derivatization agent) and p-xylene (as an extraction solvent) are added to the solution. After performing the procedure, the homemade device consists of an inverse funnel with a capillary tube placed into the tube. In this step, the collected extraction solvent and a part of the aqueous solution are transferred into the device and the organic phase indwells in the capillary tube of the device. Under the optimal conditions, limits of detection and quantification for the analytes were obtained in the ranges of 0.90-2.7 and 3.0-6.1 ng/mL, respectively. The enrichment and enhancement factors were in the ranges of 370-430 and 489660, respectively. The method precision, expressed as the relative standard deviation, was within the range of 4-6% (n = 6) and 4-9% (n = 4) for intra-and interday precisions, respectively. The proposed method was successfully used for the determination of methyl-, ethyl-, and propyl parabens in cosmetic, hygiene and food samples, and personal care products.
