Abstract (EN): Endocrine-disrupting contaminants (EDCs) encompass a wide variety of organic chemicals that have the capacity to disrupt the normal functioning of the endocrine system, thereby causing adverse health effects. Evaluating EDCs levels in water and food is critical to determine the risk that these chemical pose. In the recent years, a wide range of analytical methods have been proposed for the determination of EDCs based on green chemistry principles. This review presents an overview on the application of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in sample preparation techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase microextraction, and dispersive liquidliquid microextraction, among others, for extraction of several EDCs from water and food. Compounds studied originate from several sources including plasticizers, industrial, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural ones. Specific emphasis has been placed to summarize the benefits and limitations of the different DESs proposed by the different authors to be used on distinct analytical methods. Some future research directions are identified.
