A multiresidue method was developed for the simultaneous determination of low parts per billion (ppb) concentrations of the herbicides alachlor, metolachlor, atrazine, and simazine in water and soil using isotope dilution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Known amounts of 15N,13C-alachlor and 2H5-atrazine were added to each sample as internal standards. The samples were then prepared by a solid phase extraction with no further cleanup. A high resolution GC/low resolution MS system with data acquisition in selected ion monitoring mode was used to quantitate herbicides in the extract. The limit of detection was 0.05 ppb for water and 0.5 ppb for soil. Accuracy greater than 80% and precision better than 4% was demonstrated with spiked samples.  相似文献

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a new technique having a number of advantages for food analysis. This study is the first to demonstrate the use of MALDI-TOF MS to identify isoflavones in soy samples. 2',4',6'-Trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) were both good matrices for isoflavones, but DHB was chosen as the best because it worked well for sample extracts, with good spot-to-spot repeatability. Isoflavones were predominantly ionized in a protonated form with a very small amount of sodium or potassium adduct ions. Fragmentation occurred only through loss of glycosidic residues. Daidzin showed more than twice the response of genistin using MALDI-TOF MS. A simple solid phase extraction of isoflavones from soy samples was developed for MALDI-TOF MS analysis. MALDI-TOF MS can provide an isoflavone profile in 2 min and serves as a powerful tool to identify and study processing changes of isoflavones in soy products.  相似文献

A method was developed and validated to determine 5-hydroxyflunixin in raw bovine milk using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The mean recovery and percentage coefficient of variation (%CV) of 35 determinations for 5-hydroxyflunixin was 101% (5% CV). The theoretical limit of detection was 0.2 ppb with a validated lower limit of quantitation of 1 ppb and an upper limit of 150 ppb. Accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, ruggedness, and storage stability were demonstrated. A LC/MS/MS confirmatory method using the extraction steps of the determinative method was developed and validated for 5-hydroxyflunixin in milk from cattle. Briefly, the determinative and confirmatory methods were based on an initial solvent (acetone/ethyl acetate) precipitation/extraction of acidified whole milk. The solvent precipitation/extraction effectively removed incurred ((14)C) residues from milk samples. The organic extract was then purified by solid phase extraction (SPE) using a strong cation exchange cartridge (sulfonic acid). The final SPE-purified sample was analyzed using LC/MS/MS. The methods are rapid, sensitive, and selective and provide for the determination and confirmation of 5-hydroxyflunixin at the 1 and 2 ppb levels, respectively.  相似文献

A multiresidue method analyzing 209 pesticides in 24 agricultural commodities has been developed and validated using the original Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) procedure and high performance liquid chromatography-positive electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Using solvent-only calibration standards (SOCSs) and matrix-matched calibration standards (MMCSs), it was demonstrated that a minimal concentration of 5-10 μg/kg (part per billion, ppb) of analytes in matrix is required for the consistent identification of targeted pesticides with two MRM transitions. Method performance was validated by the precision and accuracy results obtained from fortification studies at 10, 25, 100, and 500 ppb and MMCSs. The method was demonstrated to achieve an average recovery of 100 ± 20% (n = 4) for >75% of evaluated pesticides at the low fortification level (10 ppb) and improved to >84% at the higher fortification concentrations in all 24 matrices. Matrix effects in LC-MS/MS analysis were studied by evaluating the slope ratios of calibration curves (1.0-100 ng/mL) obtained from the SOCSs and MMCSs. Principal component analysis (PCA) of LC-MS/MS and method validation data confirmed that each matrix exerts its specific effect during the sample preparation and LC-MS/MS analysis. The matrix effect is primarily dependent on the matrix type, pesticide type and concentration. Some caution is warranted when using matrix matched calibration curves for the quantitation of pesticides to alleviate concerns on matrix effects. The QuEChERS method with LC-MS/MS was used to identify and quantitate pesticides residues, with concentrations ranging from 2.5 to >1000 ppb in a variety of agricultural samples, demonstrating fitness for screening and surveillance applications.  相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been widely used as a reliable technique to quantify anthocyanins in food samples. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a new technique that is having a great impact on food analysis. This study is the first to compare HPLC and MALDI-TOF MS quantifications of anthocyanins. The analyses were carried out for highbush blueberries at different stages of anthocyanin formation. In general, both techniques provided comparable quantitative anthocyanin profiles for the samples. HPLC could distinguish anthocyanin isomers, whereas MALDI-TOF MS proved to be more rapid in the accurate identification and quantification of anthocyanins with different masses. A single MALDI-TOF MS run took just 4 min. MALDI-TOF MS analysis can serve as a rapid alternative to HPLC for the analysis of anthocyanins in fruits.  相似文献

Quantitative methods are detailed for determination of ethyl carbamate in distilled alcoholic beverages by capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC/FID) and by packed-column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using selected ion monitoring. Five g samples of distillate of known ethanol concentration are diluted with water to 25% ethanol (v/v), washed with petroleum ether, and extracted with dichloromethane prior to GC/FID or GC/MS analysis. As necessary, sample extracts that exhibit GC/FID interference are passed through alumina for additional cleanup. When internal standards (tert-butyl carbamate and n-butyl carbamate for GC/FID, or ethyl 13C-15N-carbamate for GC/MS) were used for quantitation, the limit of detection for ethyl carbamate was in the range of 5-25 ppb. Coefficients of variation ranged from 3.5 to 6.0% for GC/FID determinations, and from 1.4 to 3.2% for GC/MS. Correlation between methods for 22 random distillate samples ranging in concentration from approximately 40 to 800 ppb gave a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.996.  相似文献

A simple and specific method able to identify and quantify traces of 14 sulfonamide antibacterials (SAs) in milk and eggs is presented. This method uses a single solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge for simultaneous extraction and purification of SAs in the above matrices. Milk and egg samples are passed through a Carbograph 4 sorption cartridge. After analyte desorption, an aliquot of the final extract is injected into a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) instrument equipped with an electrospray ion source (ESI) and a single quadrupole. MS data acquisition is performed in the positive-ion mode and by a time-scheduled multiple-ion selected ion monitoring program. Compared to two published methods, the present protocol extracted larger amounts of SAs from both milk and egg and decreased the analysis time by a factor of 3 with milk samples and by a factor of 2 with egg samples. Recovery of SAs in milk at the 5 ppb level ranged between 76 and 112% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 相似文献

A sample purification technique was developed for the detection of potato glycoalkaloids (GAs) in blood serum by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). GAs were extracted from spiked serum (5 mL) using a C(18) solid-phase extraction cartridge. The GAs were then selectively captured on antibody-coated agarose beads. The agarose beads were washed with water and the GAs eluted with 25 microL of methanol. MALDI-TOF MS was used to detect the GAs in the methanol eluent. Immunoaffinity sample purification of the GAs effectively reduced the signal suppression observed during the analysis of unpurified samples. alpha-Chaconine and alpha-solanine were detected in serum spiked with 1 ng/mL of each GA.  相似文献

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method for the quantitation of n-alkanes (carbon backbones ranging from 21 to 36 carbon atoms) in forage and fecal samples has been developed. Automated solid-liquid extraction using elevated temperature and pressure minimized extraction time to 30 min per sample as compared to more than 24 h for traditional GC-flame ionization detection methods that use saponification and liquid-liquid extraction. Extraction solvent requirements were also minimized to 10 mL per sample. Under optimal conditions, complete method recoveries, including extraction efficiency, were greater than 91%. The linear dynamic range was 5 to 100 nmol injected onto the column, with a limit of quantitation of 5 nmol. Intra-assay coefficients of variation for the analysis of annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum), subterranean clover (Trifolium subterranean), and bovine feces ranged from 0.1%-12.9%, where lower concentrations of n-alkane produced a higher degree of imprecision. The reported GC/MS method permits simple, rapid, and precise quantitation of n-alkanes in plant and fecal material and reduces reagent and labor requirements.  相似文献

Successful quantification of the glucose produced by enzyme hydrolysis of starch was achieved by a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) protocol, using sorbitol as an internal standard. The starch contents measured by MALDI-TOF MS of corn starch, fiber-enriched oat flour derivatives, oat and barley flours, and barley flour/corn starch composites were evaluated in comparison to a widely accepted and validated method of starch determination, which relies on enzyme colorimetry (EC). The average starch content measured in a series of corn starch samples of different masses was 93 and 101% for EC and MALDI-TOF MS, respectively, values that represent the estimated purity of the sample. There was an agreement of 99% between the starch contents determined by the two analytical methods for complex flour-derived samples. Starch values estimated by MALDI-TOF MS consistently showed a greater degree of variability than those determined by EC, but this limitation was readily compensated by rapid acquisition of multiple mass spectra. This study is the first to report the quantification of glucose by MALDI-TOF MS, and it offers new perspectives into the potential utility of MALDI-TOF MS as a definitive tool for monosaccharide analysis and rapid starch determination in complex samples.  相似文献

A multianalyte method is reported for the determination of atrazine, simazine, propazine, and their respective dealkylated chlorotriazine metabolites; ametryn and prometryn and their respective dealkylated thiomethyltriazine metabolites; and S-metolachlor and its ethanesulfonic and oxanilic acid degradates in deionized, ground, surface, and finished drinking water. Water samples are analyzed using direct aqueous injection (DAI) liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS/MS). No preanalysis sample manipulation is required other than transfer of a small portion of sample to an injection vial. The lower limit of the method validation is 0.050 microg/L (ppb) for all analytes except 2,4-diamino-6-chloro- s-triazine (didealkylatrazine, DDA, or G-28273). For this compound the LLMV is 0.50 microg/L (ppb). The overall mean procedural recoveries (and percent relative standard deviations) for all water types for all analytes ranged from 95 to 101% (4.5-11%). The method validation was conducted under U.S. EPA FIFRA Good Laboratory Practice Guidelines 40 CFR 160.  相似文献

A sensitive and accurate detection method is of great importance in monitoring fusaproliferin levels in foods and animal feeds and evaluating its potential hazard to human and animal health. Several methods have been developed to detect fusaproliferin in cereals and cereal-related products, including thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatography (GC), and GC-MS. However, these detection methods either suffer from low sensitivity, need expensive instruments, or are susceptible to interfering substances in the sample matrix. The GC-flame ionization detector method developed herein is sensitive, reliable, and easy to use for detecting fusaproliferin in corn and corn-based samples. Its detection limits were 0.04 ng for standard trimethylsilyl-fusaproliferin and about 5 ppb for fusaproliferin in corn samples. The limits of quantitation of this method were 0.15 ng fusaproliferin/injection and 20 ppb of fusaproliferin in corn samples. The recovery rates of fusaproliferin from corn samples spiked with 200, 1000, and 5000 ppb standard fusaproliferin were 109, 85.7, and 98.9% on average. The repeatability of the method was acceptable when evaluated by the Horwitz equation. Of the tested corn samples, three out of five sweet corn and the three yellow corn samples were found to have low levels of fusaproliferin (9.4-45.3 ppb). A moldy corn sample had a fusaproliferin content of 297 ppb.  相似文献

A purge and trap procedure was used with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry determination to analyze 70 foods for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results from analyses over a 5 year period (1996-2000) are reported. VOCs were found in at least one sample of all foods tested, although no single compound was found in each of the foods. The total amount of VOCs found in a single food item over the 5 year period ranged from 24 to 5328 ppb, with creamed corn (canned) the lowest and cheddar cheese the highest. Benzene was found in all foods except American cheese and vanilla ice cream. Benzene levels ranged from 1 to 190 ppb, with the highest level found in fully cooked ground beef. Benzene was found in 12 samples of cooked ground beef, with an average of 40 ppb. Benzene levels above 100 ppb were also seen in at least one sample each of a cola (138 ppb), raw bananas (132 ppb), and cole slaw (102 ppb). This compares to a maximum contaminant level of 5 ppb set by the U.S. EPA for drinking water.  相似文献

Two studies were conducted to determine the effect that cooking has on the level of residues of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in rice. In the first study, 4 samples of long and medium grain polished white rice containing 113, 295, 956, and 1568 ppb EDB were cooked according to typical label directions. Three batches of cooked rice were prepared from each sample of polished rice and frozen until analysis; each batch was analyzed in duplicate. EDB levels in all cooked rice samples were less than 10 ppb. In the second study, conducted jointly by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a sample of medium grain polished white rice containing about 1600 ppb EDB was cooked by each laboratory. Overall average EDB levels in rice analyzed immediately after cooking were 16 and 37 ppb for FDA and EPA, respectively. The corresponding frozen samples contained 8 and 39 ppb EDB. The 2 laboratories exchanged these frozen samples and reanalyzed them to check variability in the analytical procedure. FDA found 49 ppb EDB in the sample cooked by EPA and EPA found 8 ppb EDB in the sample cooked by FDA, thus indicating that analytical methodology was not a major source of variability. The range of EDB levels was therefore attributed to minor differences in the way the rice was cooked or handled immediately after cooking.  相似文献

A method for simultaneously determining the levels of aniline, benzidine, microcystin variants (microcystin-LR, RR, and YR) and carbaryl in water was developed based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The chromatographic conditions were optimized for the trace determination. Without sample enrichment, the method detection limit for all test compounds ranged from 0.040 to 0.155 μg/L; meanwhile, the recoveries for all test compounds were 83.1–114%. Precision, indicated by the relative standard deviation, was <12.9%. The results meet the requirements for the determination of these compounds. Without the need to clean up the samples, the results of the analysis of samples from wastewater and surface water demonstrated that the UPLC-MS/MS method has the capability to analyze complex matrices in the trace-level monitoring of wastewater samples.  相似文献

A gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) method is described for determination of organic environmental pollutants in human and bovine adipose tissues. Compounds such as organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated aromatics, and brominated aromatics are extracted with organic solvents and separated from coextracted lipids on a Florisil column. The eluate is concentrated and compounds are identified and quantitated by GC/MS analysis. The method was evaluated in a single laboratory for ability to recover compounds of environmental and regulatory importance. Except for a few more polar compounds, such as phthalates and phosphates, recoveries averaged about 85%. The elution system maximized recovery and allowed minimal coelution of lipid materials. Detection limits for most compounds studied were in the range of 5-50 ng/g (ppb).  相似文献

A rapid LC-MS/MS method, using a triple-quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer, was developed for the quantitative determination of oleandrin in serum, urine, and tissue samples. Oleandrin, the major cardiac glycoside of oleander (Nerium oleander L.), was extracted from serum and urine samples with methylene chloride and from tissues with acetonitrile. The tissue extracts were cleaned up using Florisil solid-phase extraction columns. Six replicate fortifications of serum and urine at 0.001 microg/g (1 ppb) oleandrin gave average recoveries of 97% with 5% CV (relative standard deviation) and 107% with 7% CV, respectively. Six replicate fortifications of liver at 0.005 microg/g (5 ppb) oleandrin gave average recoveries of 98% with 6% CV. This is the first report of a positive mass spectrometric identification and quantitation of oleandrin in tissue samples from oleander intoxication cases. The sensitivity and specificity of the LC-MS/MS analysis enables it to be the method of choice for toxicological investigations of oleander poisoning.  相似文献

Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by mainly Penicillium species, for example, P. expansum, and Aspergillus species. There are several reports of patulin contamination in apple juice. Last year, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan set the maximum allowable level of patulin in apple juice at 50 ppb and decided that the measurement of patulin levels in apple juice products should be conducted. To this end, a simple, accurate, and selective analytical method for the detection of patulin at levels lower than 5 ppb, the detection limit, is desired. This paper reports the development of an analytical method that employs solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS). When MS measurements were conducted with the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode, the pseudomolecular ions at m/z 153 and 156 were used to monitor patulin and (13)C(3)-labeled patulin, respectively. The detection limit (S/N = 3) and the quantification limit (S/N = 10) of patulin at injection levels into LC-MS were 12.5 and 25 pg, respectively. However, when the actual sample was applied for the analysis based on the developed method including the sample preparation, the detection limit (S/N = 3) and quantification limit (S/N = 10) were 2.5 and 5 pg in sample, respectively. The calibration curve obtained for concentrations ranging from 5 to 500 ppb showed good linearity with a coefficient of determination (r (2)) of 0.999. In addition, the recovery was >95% when an internal standard was used. The method was applied to the analysis of 76 apple juice samples from Japan, and as a result, patulin levels ranging from <1.0 to 45 ppb (detection frequency = 15/76) were detected. In this study, it was found that patulin was a greater contaminant in concentration/reduction than in "not from concentrate" apple juice.  相似文献

MALDI-TOF MS analysis of food flavonol glycosides   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a new technique that is having a great impact on food analysis. This study is the first to demonstrate the use of MALDI-TOF MS to identify flavonol glycosides in food samples. 2',4',6'-Trihydroxyacetophenone was chosen as the best matrix because it worked for crude sample extracts and ionized flavonol glycosides in both positive and negative MALDI-TOF MS modes. In the positive mode, multiple ion forms were observed for flavonol glycosides, including [M + H](+), [M + Na](+), [M + K](+), and [M - H + Na + K](+), with further fragmentation through loss of glycosidic residues. The negative mode for all flavonol glycosides resulted in [M - H](-) ion formation without detectable fragmentation. The multiple ions in the positive mode gave more information on individual flavonol glycoside structures than the negative mode. Flavonol glycosides showed similar intensities or responses in the positive mode, while kaempferol glycosides exhibited much less response than quercetin glycosides in negative mode.  相似文献

Sodium chloride and ethanol (omitted for samples with greater than 10% alcohol) are added to the beverage sample and the sample is allowed to equilibrate in a 30 degrees C water bath. An aliquot of the headspace is injected into a gas chromatography containing a column packed with 0.2% Carbowax 1500 on 80--100 mesh Carbopack C. During the elution of diethylcarbonate (DEC), an impurity that is present in diethylpyrocarbonate, the column effluent is vented to a mass spectrometer with a multiple ion detection system and operated in the electron impact mode. The ions at m/e 63 and 91 are monitored. Lemonade, fruit drinks, wine, and beer samples (138 total) were analyzed for DEC. Sixteen samples had greater than 30 ppb DEC. Eight analyses of a lemonade sample gave a mean of 88 ppb with a coefficient of variation of 11%.  相似文献
