Field of Specialisation

The main focus of my research study is to develop simple, greener and sensitive extraction methods (m-SPME & DLLME) for preconcentration in edible oils. Adopting greener methods for synthesis of magnetic nanocomposites to be used as sorbents on m-SPME method. Characterization techniques to be used for the synthesised magnetic nanocomposites include: FTIR, UVVS, TEM, SEM, PXRD and EDX. LC-MS and GC-MS are quantification techniques to be used.
