An improved analytical method for the rapid, reliable, and sensitive determination of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in baby foods is described. It entailed aqueous extraction from food matrix with simultaneous clarification using Carrez I and II reagents, solid-phase extraction cleanup using Oasis HLB, and analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. A narrow-bore column allowed fast chromatographic separation with good resolution of HMF and matrix coextractives. In positive atmospheric pressure chemical ionization conditions, precursor and compound-specific ions were sensitively detected in selected ion monitoring mode. Sample preparation with efficient cleanup followed by fast chromatographic analysis allowed the analysis to be completed in <20 min. Recovery ranged between 91.8 and 94.7% for spiking levels of 0.25, 1.0, and 5.0 mg/kg HMF in cereal-based baby foods. The method was shown to be successful when using liquid chromatography coupled to ultraviolet detection at 285 nm.  相似文献

A method for the quantitative determination of adipate-based polymeric plasticizers in foods is described. The procedure involves extraction from the food and transmethylation of the polymeric plasticizer to form dimethyladipate (DMA). The derivative is cleaned up by size-exclusion chromatography and determined by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. The use of a deuterated internal standard at the extraction stage enables quantitation by stable isotope dilution. A detection limit of 0.1 mg/kg of the polymeric plasticizer in foods and a relative standard deviation of 4% have been achieved routinely. The method has been applied successfully to the analysis of cheese, sandwiches, meat, biscuits, and cake that have been in contact with polymeric plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) films.  相似文献

Vitamin D in different fortified foods is determined by using liquid chromatography (LC). Sample preparation is described for fortified skim milk, infant formulas, chocolate drink powder, and diet food. The procedure involves 2 main steps: saponification of the sample followed by extraction, and quantitation by LC analysis. Depending on the sample matrix, additional steps are necessary, i.e., enzymatic digestion for hydrolyzing the starch in the sample and cartridge purification before LC injection. An isocratic system consisting of 0.5% water in methanol (v/v) on two 5 microns ODS Hypersil, 12 X 0.4 cm id columns is used. Recovery of vitamin D added to unfortified skim milk is 98%. The results of vitamin D determination in homogenized skim milk, fortified milk powder, fortified milk powder with soybean, chocolate drink powder, and sports diet food are given.  相似文献

A method for the quantitative determination of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) in foods is described. The procedure involves addition of a diepoxidized fatty acid ester internal standard, followed by lipid extraction from the food and transmethylation under basic conditions. Without further cleanup, the methylated fatty acid epoxides are derivatized to form 1,3-dioxolanes, which are then determined by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. A detection limit of 2.0 mg/kg of epoxidized soybean oil in foods and a relative standard deviation of 7% have been achieved routinely. The method has been applied successfully to the analysis of cheeses, sandwiches, cakes, and microwave-cooked meals which have been contaminated with ESBO by migration from PVC film.  相似文献

Bisphenol A (BPA) concentrations were determined in canned beverages, fruits, vegetables, and fat-containing foodstuffs bought in Austrian supermarkets. The analysis method consisted of sol-gel immunoaffinity chromatography followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. With one exception traces of BPA were detected in all samples. BPA recovery strongly depended on the food matrix, ranging from 27% in goulash to 103% in a lemon soft drink. The results obtained allow a more realistic picture of the BPA exposure caused by cans with an epoxy resin protective coating because--in contrast to several previous studies--only those fractions of the can contents that are actually consumed were analyzed. BPA concentrations ranging from 0.1 ng/mL (lemon soft drink) to 38 ng/g (ready-to eat soup from Thailand) were significantly lower than the European Union migration limit of 0.6 mg of BPA/kg of food.  相似文献

The essentiality of dietary folates for human beings has been known for many years. Over the shorter term, biological activities associated with several human maladies and the attenuation of biomarkers for several chronic diseases also have been assigned to folates. In the United States, these observations have led to the addition of folic acid to several foods and food ingredients (food fortification) and to dietary recommendations that assign biological activity to each of the forms of folate in the food supply. There currently is unavailable a robust, instrumental procedure that will distinguish between naturally occurring food folates and synthetic folic acid as part of the routine analysis of foods. The procedure proposed in this publication is unique in that it uses "off-the-shelf" supplies and instrumentation, to the extent possible, and was developed with "normal" corporate work schedules in mind. This method takes advantage of the tri-enzyme food digestion and folate deconjugation steps but was optimized with a commercially available rat plasma as the source of conjugase. A high-capacity styrene-divinylbenzene-based solid-phase extraction column was identified, and conditions were developed for quantitative recovery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folic acid (FA) with it. The various forms of food folates are separated on a C-18 high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column which is resistant to degradation at low pH. As a result, the mobile phase was simplified to a gradient of low-pH phosphate buffer (pH 2.2) and acetonitrile. Although FA does not exhibit fluorescence, a UV-induced photolysis system was added, which is controlled by the HPLC system, so that an appropriate segment of the HPLC column effluent is subjected to photolytic conditions and, thereby, FA can be measured as a fluorescent product. The application of the system was verified by analyzing several certified reference materials and foods and comparing results with certified values and/or total folate values as determined by microbiological assay.  相似文献

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is believed to be an important factor for mammalian growth and development and has, therefore, been declared a vitamin by some researchers. However, this issue remains controversial, and from a nutritional viewpoint, accurate determination of PQQ levels in a variety of foods is very important. Here, we describe a simple, highly sensitive, and highly selective method for quantitative analysis of PQQ. Liquid foods or aqueous extracts of solid foods were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with electrospray-ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). (15)N-labeled PQQ was added to the samples as an internal standard. Quantitative analyses of PQQ were performed by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with LC/MS/MS. Free PQQ was detected in almost all food samples in the range 0.19-7.02 ng per g fresh weight (for solid foods) or per mL (liquid foods). This method will enable the rapid and simple determination of PQQ levels in many samples.  相似文献

Rugged LC-MS/MS survey analysis for acrylamide in foods   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  
The described liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the detection of acrylamide in food entails aqueous room temperature extraction, SPE cleanup, and analysis by LC-MS/MS. The method is applicable to a wide variety of foods. [(13)C(3)]acrylamide is the internal standard. The limit of quantitation is 10 ppb (microg/kg). Data were obtained in duplicate from >450 products representing >35 different food types. The variability in analyte levels in certain food types suggests that it may be possible to reduce acrylamide levels in those foods.  相似文献

Immunoassay of pesticides   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  
Determination of the presence and levels of pesticide residues in food is fundamental in monitoring and regulatory programs. Residues are separated from the food matrix by solvent extraction, followed by cleanup steps. The residues are most often identified and quantitated by instrumental analysis, usually liquid or gas chromatography. Extraction and cleanup are often laborious and time-consuming; determination requires expensive, sophisticated instrumentation. There is a need for rapid, easily performed tests, such as immunoassays, that could be used for screening under field conditions or for quantitation of residues in foods in the laboratory. Although a large number of immunoassays have been developed for pesticide chemicals, very few have been specifically applied to foods, and only a very small number are currently available commercially. The agencies charged with monitoring and regulatory responsibilities--Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, and U.S. Department of Agriculture--as well as professional societies such as AOAC and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, are investigating and developing guidelines for test kit evaluation and standards to be met before a kit can be accepted as a practical and useful method of analysis for use in their programs.  相似文献

Determination of trace residues of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs and PCDFs) in various matrixes is carried out by a limited number of laboratories in the United States, Canada, and other countries. Current methods for analysis of foods and biological tissues include a combination of preparation, extraction, cleanup, isolation, determination, and identity confirmation procedures. Soxhlet, liquid/liquid, solid-phase, and column extraction procedures are used as well as treatment with acid or base before solvent extraction. Cleanup and isolation steps include sulfuric acid partitioning; adsorption chromatography on Florisil, silica gel, or alumina; gel permeation chromatography; multi-stage column chromatography on sulfuric acid silica and alkali silica; carbon column chromatography; and liquid chromatography fractionation with size exclusion, normal-phase, and reverse-phase columns. Activated carbon and multistage chromatographic columns are widely used in cleanup schemes. Isomer-specific identification and quantitation of PCDD and PCDF congeners at parts-per-trillion levels or lower are carried out by high resolution (capillary) gas chromatography (HRGC) and multiple ion detection mass spectrometry. In addition to chemical methods, bioassay procedures have been recommended (e.g., use of monoclonal antibodies, for immunoassay determination of PCDDs and PCDFs).  相似文献

The amino acid analysis method using precolumn phenylisothiocyanate (PITC) derivatization and liquid chromatography was modified for accurate determination of methionine (as methionine sulfone), cysteine/cystine (as cysteic acid), and all other amino acids, except tryptophan, in hydrolyzed samples of foods and feces. A simple liquid chromatographic method (requiring no derivatization) for the determination of tryptophan in alkaline hydrolysates of foods and feces was also developed. Separation of all amino acids by liquid chromatography was completed in 12 min compared with 60-90 min by ion-exchange chromatography. Variation expressed as coefficients of variation (CV) for the determination of most amino acids in the food and feces samples was not more than 4%, which compared favorably with the reproducibility of ion-exchange methods. Data for amino acids and recoveries of amino acid nitrogen obtained by liquid chromatographic methods were also similar to those obtained by conventional ion-exchange procedures.  相似文献

Due to the growing interest in the role of carotenoids in human health, their qualitative and quantitative analysis in foods is becoming more and more important. High-performance liquid chromatography has become the method of choice for the determination of these phytochemicals. A crucial step prior to the chromatographic separation is the quantitative extraction from the food matrix which was proven to be impeded in durum wheat. To optimize the extraction procedure, several factors with influence on extractability of carotenoids were investigated. Finally, it was shown that soaking of samples in water for 5 min prior to extraction with organic solvents had the strongest impact on extraction yield and led to the most rapid and gentle method. Contents of carotenoids in the extracts of several durum wheat and corn samples were doubled by soaking in water before extracting with methanol/tetrahydrofuran (1/1, v/v). In light of these findings, literature data on contents of carotenoids in cereal grains have to be viewed critically regarding the extraction procedures employed.  相似文献

A new, rapid, high-sensitivity analysis of amino acids in food type samples   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  
A new approach to the analysis of free amino acids and amino acids from hydrolyzed foods is described. The method is based on reaction of the free amino acids with phenylisothiocyanate to form stable derivatives which are subsequently separated by liquid chromatography. Sample preparation procedures are described and results are compared with conventional ion exchange results. Reproducibility of the new method has been determined on a typical food type sample.  相似文献

A simple and rapid liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of barbaloin (aloin, 10-D-glucopyranosyl-1,8-dihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-9(10H)-anthraceno ne) in foods. Barbaloin is extracted with water from foods containing aloe and the extract is cleaned up on a disposable cartridge by using methanol-water (55 + 45) as eluant. The eluted barbaloin is separated by liquid chromatography on a YMC A-302 column with methanol-water (50 + 50) mobile phase, and detected at 293 nm. Recoveries of barbaloin added to foods at the levels of 0.05 and 0.50 mg/g were 94.4-100%. Assay results for commercial food samples indicated that the present method is applicable to a variety of foods supplemented with aloe.  相似文献

Ion chromatography (IC) is shown to be a promising technique for the determination of sulfites (SO2, SO2/3-) in foods. Results of a 10 min flash distillation and 10 min IC determination compare favorably with the results from the conventional Monier-Williams method for total sulfite in a variety of food matrices. The IC technique also provides a wealth of additional information, such as (1) sulfite and sulfate (oxidized sulfite) content of the spiking or treatment solution, (2) residual sulfite applied to the food after oxidation losses in the treatment process, (3) free sulfite in foods, and (4) total sulfite in foods. As a further check on the Monier-Williams method, the sulfate content of the trapping solution can be determined by IC. Because the IC technique traps the liberated SO2 in a non-oxidizing rather than an oxidizing medium, it is considered free from interfering sulfides and organic sulfur-containing groups which can give false positives in the Monier-Williams method. IC thus offers a high speed, more sensitive, and cost-effective alternative to conventional techniques for the determination of sulfite in foods.  相似文献

Antioxidants commonly used in polyolefins were studied in commercial food packages made of low- and high-density polyethylene (LDPE and HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and in a LDPE film extruded at the laboratory. The phenolic antioxidants BHA, BHT, AO 2246, AO 425, Ethanox 330, Irganox 1010, and Irganox 1076 were studied together with the phosphite Irgafos 168 and their two degradation products, phosphate and DBP. Antioxidants were extracted from polyolefins using microwave energy and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the antioxidant content in the diverse commercial films. Irganox 1010 and Irganox 1076 were found in the majority of the samples generally together with the phosphite Irgafos 168 and its oxidized product (phosphate). Specific migration levels of each antioxidant were determined by HPLC after pretreatment with solid-phase extraction (SPE) in aqueous food simulants and after their dilution with tetrahydrofuran (THF) in fatty food simulant. These levels were much lower than limits allowed by legislation.  相似文献

Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol B (BPB) concentrations were determined in peeled canned tomatoes of different brands bought in Italian supermarkets. Tomato samples analyzed were packaged in cans coated with either epoxyphenolic lacquer or low BADGE enamel. A solid phase extraction (SPE) was performed on C-18 Strata E cartridge followed by a step on Florisil cartridge. Detection and quantitation were performed by a reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with both UV and fluorescence detection (FD). On the total of 42 tested tomato samples, BPA was detected in 22 samples (52.4%), while BPB was detected in 9 samples (21.4%). BPA and BPB were simultaneously present in 8 of the analyzed samples. The levels of BPA found in this study are much lower than the European Union migration limits of 3 mg/kg food and reasonably unable to produce a daily intake exceeding the limit of 0.05 mg/kg body weight, established by European Food Safety Authority.  相似文献

Microencapsulation of alpha-tocopherol effectively protects alpha-tocopherol from oxidation and produces high-value-added and long-shelf-stable foods. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been applied to measure the yield of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol with high accuracy; however, it takes long analysis time. An alternative method is required to determine the yield of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol in food industry. A new, easy, and sensitive colorimetric method using 5% cupric acetate pyridine and oleic acid was developed. Correlation coefficient (r) of colorimetric method on alpha-tocopherol in microencapsulation system and of results between colorimetric method and HPLC were +0.996 and +0.989, respectively, which indicates that this novel colorimetric method can be successfully applied to evaluate the yield of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol instead of HPLC. The optimum storage temperature and pH of microencapsulated alpha-tocopherol for 7-day storage were 25 degrees C and pH 9, respectively, determined by this new colorimetric method.  相似文献

The content of trans fat in foods is most commonly determined by summing the levels of individual trans fatty acids (FAs), analyzed as FA methyl esters (FAME) by gas chromatography. Current Official Methods of the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) enable quantitation of total trans fat in foods but were not designed for the determination of transFA isomeric compositions. In the present study, the content of trans fat in 32 representative fast food samples ranged from 0.1 to 3.1 g per serving, as determined according to AOCS Official Method Ce 1j-07. Further analysis of FAME using the 200 m SLB-IL111 ionic liquid column yielded quantitative results of total, trans, saturated, and cis unsaturated fat that were comparable to those of Method Ce 1j-07 and also allowed for the complementary determination of individual trans 18:1, trans 18:2, and trans 18:3 FA isomeric compositions under conditions suitable for routine sample analysis.  相似文献

An analytical method was developed for determining benzo(a)pyrene in foods, suitable for routine use. The method consists of 4 cleanup steps: (1) alkali cleavage of sample, (2) preliminary silica gel column chromatography, (3) selective extraction with concentrated sulfuric acid, and (4) further silica gel column chromatography. Recoveries of benzo(a)pyrene added to 50 g (or 10 g) food at levels of 0.4 ppb (or 2 ppb) ranged from 70% for short-necked clam and mackeral to 85% for chicken meat. The sulfuric acid extraction step affords a simple method for isolating benzo(a)pyrene from various kinds of interfering substances which could not be separated by existing methods.  相似文献
