Abstract:

A simple, rapid and environmentally friendly dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method-based spectrophotometric method for the trace determination of folic acid has been developed. The proposed method is based on the formation of a deep yellow product via reaction of folic acid and 1,2-naphthoquine-4-sulfonate at pH = 9. The formed complex was extracted using a mixture of chloroform and ethanol. Then, the tiny organic droplets were measured at λ = 520 nm. At the optimum conditions, linearity was ranged from 0.05 to 1.5 μg/mL for the standard and samples, with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.9996. The detection limits were 0.02, 0.027, 0.03, 0.02 and 0.04 μg/mL for standard, tablet (5 mg), tablet (1 mg), syrup and flaxseed, respectively, and limits of quantification were 0.066, 0.089, 0.099, 0.066 and 0.132 μg/mL for standard, tablet (5 mg), tablet (1 mg), syrup and flaxseed, respectively. Good recoveries and enrichment factor ranged 94.6–103.8% and 20–27, respectively, for the pharmaceutical and flaxseed samples were obtained. The method was successfully applied for the determination of folic acid in pure, dosage forms and flaxseed.
