Efficient food safety analysis for vegetables by a heteropore covalent organic framework derived silicone tube with flow-through purification

A heteropore covalent organic framework incorporated silicone tube (S-tube@PDA@COF) was used as adsorbent to purify the matrices in vegetable extracts. The S-tube@PDA@COF was fabricated by a facile in-situ growth method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and N 2 adsorption-desorption. The as-prepared composite exhibited high removal efficiency of phytochromes and recovery (81.13–116.62%) of 15 chemical hazards from 5 representative vegetable samples. This study opens a promising avenue toward the facile synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)-derived silicone tubes for streamline operation in food sample pretreatment.
