Electrochemically controlled liquid-liquid microextraction: an innovative methodology for heavy metal extraction from tea using non-toxic menthol-based eutectic mixture
The proposed method represents a substantial advance in sustainable analytical chemistry, as it facilitates the efficient extraction of metals from tea without the use of toxic solvents. Its performance and environmental compatibility position it as a solid alternative for routine metal analysis in food safety monitoring.
