Physical and chemical properties that may be used to determine the purity of several Fusarium mycotoxins have been investigated. A combination of analytical procedures, which include high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), ultraviolet spectrometry (UV), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry have been used to examine mycotoxin standards obtained from commercial sources and from laboratory fermentations. Results of this investigation indicate that commercially available standards are greater than 90% pure, but the label weight of purchased reference standards in individual containers should be verified. Mycotoxin standards, determined to be greater than 98% pure by HPTLC, LC, and GC/MS, were examined by UV spectrometry and the coefficients of extinction were determined. An interlaboratory study, involving 5 collaborators who determined coefficients of extinction (in methanol) for identical samples, gave the following results: alpha-zearalenol (lambda 236 = 28 538 +/- 558); beta-zearalenol (lambda 238 = 24 963 +/- 747); deoxynivalenol (lambda 219 = 6395 +/- 349, lot 1), (6020 +/- 228, lot 2); and T-2 toxin (lambda 202 = 3681 +/- 255). UV maxima and coefficients of extinction are also reported for HT-2 toxin (lambda 202 = 1959), diacetoxyscirpenol (lambda 203 = 2487), neosolaniol (lambda 203 = 2644), nivalenol (lambda 220 = 5142), and fusarenon-X (lambda 217 = 5997).  相似文献

Comparison of quantitative NMR spectroscopy (QNMR) with chromatographic methods such as gas chromatography (GC) or high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of the purity of and impurities in technical grade agrochemicals, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 1, and Dalapon sodium (sodium 2,2-dichloropropionate), 10, has revealed that QNMR is more precise and accurate than the chromatographic methods. Quantitative impurity profiling of technical grade 1 is rapid and accurate using 600 MHz (1)H NMR. Extra dispersion at the relatively high frequency allowed full assignment of the NMR spectrum of 1 and its related organic impurities in technical samples. The percentage purity of 1 was measured by the difference QNMR method, which involves summing the amounts of impurities and subtracting from 100%. Results are superior in consistency to those obtained by chromatographic methods. The percentage purity of Dalapon sodium, 10, in technical grade batches is readily obtained by (1)H QNMR, using either the difference method or the internal standard method, using dimethyl sulfone (DMSO2) internally as a reference material, that is chemically unrelated to the analyte. The latter method also allows the simultaneous identification and quantification of impurities, many of which are either not accessible to or detectable by the chromatographic methods. Uncertainty budgets for the QNMR method are presented and demonstrate that the major contributors to uncertainty lie in the weighing of the chemicals and in purity of the standard reference material prior to the QNMR experiment.  相似文献

A modified liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of Gentian Violet (GV) in animal feed. The reliable detection limit is 0.5 ng (reference standards), and 1 ppm GV was reliably determined in feed. The calibration curve was linear between 1 and 40 micrograms/mL. The method, developed in a study by the National Center for Toxicological Research, was modified to use methanol-water (9 + 1) instead of benzene-methanol as the eluting solution in the column cleanup. GV is extracted from feed with methanol-1N HCl (99 + 1), cleaned up on a Sephadex LH-20 column to remove any remaining interferences, separated on a Nova-Pak C18 column fitted with a precolumn filter, and determined at 588 nm. The identity of GV is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography (Rf = 0.47) by comparison with a reference standard. Average recoveries from 3 sets of 5 feed samples containing 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 ppm GV were 115, 95, and 102%, respectively.  相似文献

Monomeric and oligomeric procyanidins present in cocoa liquors and chocolates were separated and quantified in four different laboratories using a normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection. Procyanidin standards through decamers were obtained by extraction from cocoa beans, enrichment by Sephadex LH-20 gel permeation chromatography, and final purification by preparative normal-phase HPLC. The purity of each oligomeric fraction was assessed using HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry. A composite standard was then prepared, and calibration curves were generated for each oligomeric class using a quadratic fit of area sum versus concentration. Results obtained by each of the laboratories were in close agreement, which suggests this method is reliable and reproducible for quantification of procyanidins. Furthermore, the procyanidin content of the samples was correlated to the antioxidant capacity measured using the ORAC assay as an indicator for potential biological activity.  相似文献

The official methods for measuring vitamin A and carotene in foods and feeds have evolved over several decades. New procedures are needed to permit the use of modern analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC), and to expand the application of official methods to a wide variety of foods. Recent improvements in methodology are reviewed. Emphasis is often placed on the separations achieved by LC, but all factors that affect quantitation, such as sampling, preparation of standards, and protection of the vitamin against oxidation, must be considered in the development of new methods. Many approaches to analysis are possible because of the versatility of LC but not all of them can be used in official methods. Methods for milk, margarine, and feeds can be prepared now for collaborative assays. Although straightforward methods can be developed for the measurement of beta-carotene in certain foods, a full examination of provitamins will probably continue to require a flexible approach and special expertise.  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

Complete quantification of group A and group B soyasaponins in soybeans   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
A combination of high-pressure extraction and preparative chromatography was used to purify the group A and group B soyasaponins from soy germ for use as analytical standards and for use in biological assays. A standardized sample preparation and extraction method was developed for the analysis of phytochemicals found in soy and processed soy products, which is reproducible in other laboratories. The extracts can be analyzed with standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography methods to identify and quantitate the group A and group B forms of the soy saponins, as well as the soy isoflavones. Complete saponin analysis of the extracts prepared from soy germ (hypocots), hulls, and cotyledons shows that a significant portion of the saponins is concentrated in the germ. The germ contains nearly all of the group A soyasaponins, while the group B soyasaponins are nearly equally distributed between the germ and the cotyledons. The hulls contain little of either isoflavones or saponins. Whole (full fat) soybeans grown on a tract in central Illinois in 2003 contain approximately 4-6% saponins on a weight basis, of which about one-fifth or less of the total saponin content are group A soyasaponins; the balance is group B soyasaponins.  相似文献

The optical isomers of amino acids can be easily separated by gas chromatography using capillary columns coated with the chiral polysiloxane peptide, Chirasil-Val. Quantitative trace amino acid analysis in complex mixtures such as biological fluids, sea water, or protein hydrolysates can be achieved by enantiomer labeling: The D-amino acid enantiomers, which do not occur naturally, are added to the sample prior to analysis as internal standards. Because the D-enantiomers show the same physical and chemical properties as the natural L-enantiomers, they are ideal standard references. In routine analysis, the derivatization is achieved with a new automated derivatization robot. The D-standard serves as overall internal standard for the whole analytical procedure from sample enrichment to derivatization, chromatography, and response of the detector.  相似文献

In this article, we report on the use of miniaturized and automated enzymatic assays as an alternative technology for fast sugar and acid quantification in apples and tomatoes. Enzymatic assays for d-glucose, d-fructose, sucrose, D-sorbitol/xylitol, L-malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, and L-glutamic acid were miniaturized from the standard 3 mL assays in cuvettes into assays of 200 microL or lower in 96 or 384 well microplates. The miniaturization and the automation were achieved with a four channel automatic liquid handling system in order to reduce the dispensing errors and to obtain an increased sample throughput. Performance factors (limit of detection, linearity of calibration curve, and repeatability) of the assays with standard solutions were proven to be satisfactory. The automated and miniaturized assays were validated with high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses for the quantification of sugars and acids in tomato and apple extracts. The high correlation between the two techniques for the different components indicates that the high-throughput microplate enzymatic assays can serve as a fast, reliable, and inexpensive alternative for HPLC as the standard analysis technique in the taste characterization of fruit and vegetables. In addition to the analysis of extracts, the high-throughput microplate enzymatic assays were used for the direct analysis of centrifuged and filtered tomato juice with an additional advantage that the sample preparation time and analysis costs are reduced significantly.  相似文献

2,6-Dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-6-quinolone (QI) and 1,8'-bis(1, 2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline) (DM) are two oxidation products of 1,2-dihydro-6-ethoxy-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline (ethoxyquin, EQ). This paper describes several methods for the purification of technical grade EQ and for the production of pure QI and DM as standards with the purity required (>99%) for calibration of quantitative determination methods. EQ of high purity was obtained through vacuum distillation followed by a quick column chromatographic purification on silica gel. Preparative scale purity DM could be obtained through recrystallization from methanol, but QI could be purified only by a high-pressure liquid chromatographic method.  相似文献

Three methods for the determination of glycerin are examined as applied to several allergenic extracts and diagnostic antigens. The liquid chromatographic procedure uses a sulfonic acid functional PSDVB resin (Aminex HPX-87H), a mobile phase of 0.013N H2SO4; and refractive index detection. The titrimetric procedure involves oxidation of glycerin with sodium metaperiodate followed by potentiometric titration of the resulting formic acid with sodium hydroxide. Samples are quantitated by comparing the equivalence point obtained from the sample to those obtained from a series of standards. The gas chromatographic procedure includes a column of 5% Carbowax 20 M on 80-100 mesh Chromosorb WHP; p-cresol was used as an internal standard. The 3 procedures are shown to be valid for the majority of product types examined. A positive interference was encountered in the titrimetric analysis of a tuberculin purified protein derivative that contained simple sugars. Recoveries of added glycerin ranged from 95.0 to 100.2% by the liquid chromatographic method, from 98.7 to 101.4% by the gas chromatographic method, and from 99.8 to 101.6% by the metaperiodate oxidation method when interference from simple sugars was not present. Coefficients of variation determined from 8 replicates of samples that contained glycerin were 2.2% or less for the liquid chromatographic method, 2.3% or less for the GC method, and 3.6% or less for the metaperiodate oxidation method.  相似文献

The applicability of amino acid analysis for accurate quantitation of reference standard preparations of proteins has been evaluated. This approach is very useful since, in addition to absolute quantitative information, it also provides a measure of composition, partial identity, and purity in a single experiment. Comparisons with Kjeldahl nitrogen assay and/or UV measurements shows that amino acid analysis is reliable for the quantitation of small-to-medium size proteins in the molecular weight range of 6-22 kDa. For larger proteins such as immunoglobulins (150 kDa), amino acid analysis may "underestimate" the total protein concentration. These results also show the effect of recovery of individual residues on protein quantitation. As expected, the recovery of more than one stable residue could be used to calculate total protein content of samples, which is in good agreement with the results obtained by Kjeldahl nitrogen assay. However, the protein concentrations calculated from the total mass of the recovered residues appear to give relatively low estimates in almost all cases. Thus, it is concluded that amino acid analysis is an appropriate reference method only when stable residues are employed for quantitation, particularly for highly purified proteins of rDNA origin.  相似文献

A method is described for determining substituted urea herbicides in foods. The residues are extracted from the product with methanol, and the food coextractives are removed by using solvent partitioning and Florisil column chromatography. The extract is analyzed using liquid chromatography with postcolumn photodegradation, chemical derivatization with orthophthalaldehyde, and spectrofluorometry. Recoveries were determined by spiking 8 different food products with 6 phenylureas--chlorbromuron, chloroxuron, diuron, fluometuron, linuron, and metobromuron--at 0.05 and 0.5 ppm. Three determinations were made at each level for each product. Average recovery at 0.05 ppm was 95% (with a standard deviation of 7.9%), and at 0.5 ppm, 98% (with a standard deviation of 6.9%).  相似文献

我国与欧美化肥重金属限量标准的比较和启示   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  
本文介绍了欧盟各国以及美国部分州的化肥重金属限量标准的制定过程和阈值,分析了我国相关标准制定中存在的不足。我国化肥重金属限量标准是针对肥料种类来制定的,肥料种类之间重金属限量值及限制的重金属种类均存在很大差异。限量标准有国家标准,也有行业标准。不少单质化肥及复合肥标准中没有重金属限量指标,但对由单质化肥配制的水溶性复混肥料则制定了非常严格的限量标准。我国重金属限量标准的制定缺乏理论依据和试验数据支撑,标准公布后也缺少制定依据的说明和解释。美国是根据磷肥及微量元素肥料种类和用量两方面来设定重金属限量标准,该标准由美国环保局(USEPA)等机构根据化肥中有害元素对人类健康风险评估模型制定的,并参考了长期的田间定位试验数据和食物中重金属的风险评估调查数据。美国植物食品控制管理协会(AAPFCO)根据上述风险评估结果提出了化肥中重金属的限量标准,美国各州则在参考该标准的基础上根据各州法律法规实施。欧盟目前没有统一的化肥重金属限量标准,各国各自规定了相关标准。建议我国参考发达国家的标准制定方式建立重金属的危害风险评价体系;根据大量、中量与微量元素肥料类别及施用量,区分不同重金属的限量,且所有化肥所含的重金属进入农田的限量标准应保持一致。建议制定标准应进行环境、食品安全等调查与长期定位试验,以科学数据为依据,制定适合我国国情的化肥重金属限量标准。  相似文献

Terpenic acids are under development as therapeutic agents in numerous treatments. In support of pharmacokinetic and toxicological evaluations, a robust assay based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for the analysis of the terpenoids in human serum. For a clear understanding of the differences in biological activity of these compounds, the interactions between oleanolic or betulinic acids and human serum protein have been studied by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption under physiological conditions. A combination of liquid/liquid extraction, centrifugation, and consecutive HPLC resulted in simultaneous separation, identification, and quantification of the oleanolic, betulinic, and ursolic acids. The validity of the developed method was established by determining linearity, recovery, precision, accuracy, limit of detection, and quantification. Detection limits were in the range of 3.3-4.3 ng/mL, and linearity values ranged up to 1 μg/mL. The repeatability of the method was good. All compounds can be well-distinguished by order of elution during liquid chromatography. The pentacyclic triterpenoids have been identified by retention time comparison to pure standards and quantified by an internal standard. The results by UV-vis absorption spectra experiments (240-340 nm) indicate that protein structures have been perturbed in the presence of oleanolic and betulinic acids.  相似文献

An isolated strain of Fusarium oxysporum from the hulls of Prunus dulcis (sweet almond) was found to produce relatively large quantities of the hydrocarbons styrene and two isomers of 7-methyl-1,3,5- cyclooctatriene (MCOT). Production of styrene and MCOT was reproduced on a small scale using potato dextrose agar as a growth medium and scaled up using 1 L of inoculated potato dextrose broth. The compounds were trapped as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) onto solid-phase microextraction (SPME) for small scale and Tenax for large scale and then isolated using standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. Styrene was authenticated by a comparison to the retention times, fragmentation patterns, and calculated retention indices of a commercially available sample. The identity of MCOT was verified by a short chemical synthesis and a comparison of spectroscopic data to the isolated sample. A biosynthetic scheme of styrene is proposed on the basis of a (13)C-labeling study. This is the first report of MCOT isolated as a natural product.  相似文献

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one class of chemical compounds that (1) are present at low to trace levels in unburned cigarette filler, and (2) are predominantly generated during combustion. According to a recent report of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, 10 carcinogenic PAHs together with 53 other known carcinogens are present in cigarette smoke. Accurate quantification of these chemicals helps assess public health risk to both smokers and nonsmokers exposed to second-hand smoke. We have developed and validated a specific and sensitive method for measuring these 10 carcinogenic PAHs in the particulate phase of mainstream tobacco smoke. Cigarette smoke particulate, produced using standard machine smoking protocols, was collected on glass fiber Cambridge filter pads. The particulate matter was solvent extracted, purified by solid-phase extraction, and analyzed by liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure photoionization tandem mass spectrometry using isotopically labeled analogues as internal standards. Our method's limits of detection ranged from 11 to 166 pg and achieved sufficient reproducibility and accuracy to provide useful information on a range of cigarettes having dramatically different machine-smoked tar and nicotine deliveries. The identity of each PAH analyte was established from chromatographic retention time, analyte-specific fragmentation patterns, and relative peak area ratios of the product/precursor ion pairs. This new method provides higher sensitivity, specificity, and throughput than did earlier methods. We found relatively consistent PAH levels among a selection of domestic full-flavor cigarettes. The PAH levels in smoke from highly ventilated light and ultralight cigarettes were low when smoked using ISO (International Organization for Standardization) conditions. However, if highly ventilated cigarettes were smoked under more intense conditions (e.g., larger or more frequent puffs, vents blocked), their PAH levels equaled or exceeded their full-flavor counterparts under ISO conditions.  相似文献

Moore's and Stein's classical ion-exchange separation of amino acids remains the standard by which all methods are judged. The adaptation of liquid chromatography (LC) equipment to amino acid analysis was inevitable because microprocessor control of gradients allowed almost infinite variation in gradient shape, producing superior resolution with only 2 buffers. The versatility of LC equipment allowed the instruments to be used for other assays. Adaptation of orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) to amino acid analysis increased detection sensitivity to the picomole range. A method for essential amino acids analysis in mechanically separated red meat and poultry products has been adapted to liquid chromatography using postcolumn hypochlorite oxidation, OPA derivatization, and fluorescence detection. Separation is achieved with 2 sequential concave exponential gradients combining ionic strength and pH increases with halide-containing buffers. Hydroxyproline and proline are detected with increasing sensitivity through the use of 3-mercaptopropionic acid in a stabilized OPA reagent. Sample preparation is a critical part of the method. A defatting procedure removes fat and other nonprotein nitrogenous substances. The hydrolysis procedure is designed to protect tryptophan which can be routinely assayed in hydrolysates with a modified flow program. Corrosion damage to the equipment by halide buffers has brought about a search for alternative methodology.  相似文献

A comparison of ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with a 2.6 μm core-shell particle column (Kinetex C(18)) and conventional liquid chromatography (LC) with a 3 μm porous particle column (Atlantis dC(18)), coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), for the determination of 151 pesticides in grains is presented in this study. Pesticides were extracted from grain samples using a procedure known as QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe). Quantification, with an analytical range from 5 to 500 μg/kg, was achieved using matrix-matched standard calibration curves with isotopically labeled standards or a chemical analogue as internal standards. The method performance parameters that included overall recovery, intermediate precision, and measurement uncertainty were evaluated using a designed experiment, that is, the nested design. The UHPLC (Kinetex C(18)) was superior to conventional LC (Atlantis dC(18)) as it yielded a shorter analytical run time, increased method sensitivity, and improved method performance. For UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS (Kinetex C(18)), 90% of the pesticides studied had recoveries between 81 and 110%, 88% of the pesticides had intermediate precision ≤20%, and 84% of the pesticides showed measurement uncertainty ≤40%. As compared to UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS (Kinetex dC(18)), the LC/ESI-MS/MS (Atlantis dC(18)) showed a relatively lower sensitivity, less repeatability, and larger measurement uncertainty. UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS with 2.6 μm core-shell particle column and scheduled MRM proved to be a good choice for quantification or determination of pesticides in grains.  相似文献
