Gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy techniques for the detection of chemical contaminants and residues in foods

2017

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a cornerstone for qualitative and quantitative analysis of food contaminants and residues. It is fast and sensitive, provides a high peak capacity, and allows determination of thermally stable and volatile compounds. Recent research has resulted in better chromatographic columns and methods for sample preparation that enable a significant expansion of the application range of GC-MS, profiling strategies for sample characterization being identified as important future drivers. Newer detection/separation solutions, such as fast chromatography, comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GC × GC), triple quadrupole MS, time-of-flight MS or orbitrap, atmosp…

Ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of 9 organophosphate flame retardants in water samples

2016

Few methods are available for comprehensive organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs) detection in water and wastewater. Gas chromatography has been employed previously, but this approach is less selective, not amenable for use with deuterated standards and can suffer unfavorable fragmentation. Ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) has become the most promising platform, already applied successfully for analysis of selected PFRs in some environmental matrices like water and wastewater. However, the presence of some interferences from the dissolvent, the equipment and the used materials should be taken into account. The procedure involves: The fir…

Classification of extra virgin olive oils according to their genetic variety using linear discriminant analysis of sterol profiles established by ult…

2011

Abstract A method to classify extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) according to their genetic variety using sterol profiles obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) detection has been developed. The optimal separation conditions were obtained using a gradient acetonitrile/water (0.01% acetic acid) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL min − 1 and 10 °C. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) models were constructed with the 11 UPLC-APCI-MS sterol peaks taken from the selective ion recording mode chromatograms. Ratios of the peak areas selected by pairs were used as predictors. With the sequential application of two LDA mo…

Adsorptionsvoltammetrische Molybd�nbestimmung in biologischen Proben nach nassem Hochdruckaufschlu\

1989

The transfer of an (known from literature [141 and till now only applied to seawater) adsorption-voltammetric determination of molybdenum with oxine to biological samples, is described. The herewith accomplished changes of base solution resulted simultaneously in an optimization of the method with regard to interpretability and sensitivity. Special care was taken in the problem of decomposition. Best results are obtained with a high-pressure decomposition. Accuracy of analyses is confirmed with trials of recovery also in the biological matrix.

Extraction of clenbuterol from calf urine using a molecularly imprinted polymer followed by quantitation by high-performance liquid chromatography wi…

2002

A method for the extraction of clenbuterol from calf urine samples using a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has been developed. The aim was that the final extracts from the MIP should allow quantitation of clenbuterol down to 0.5 ng/mL urine using HPLC with UV detection. The MIP was produced using brombuterol as a template and the selectivity of the MIP, for clenbuterol, was tested against a non-imprinted polymer (produced without template) and was found to be high. After loading of 5 mL diluted centrifuged urine, selective binding was established in acetonitrile-acetic acid (98:2). For further elution of interferences, 0.5 M ammonium acetate buffer pH 5 and 70% acetonitrile in water was…

Determination of busulfan in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with pre-column derivatization and fluorescence detection.

1999

A rapid, sensitive and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for busulfan in human plasma was developed. After extraction of plasma samples with acetonitrile and methylene chloride, busulfan and the internal standard [1,5-bis(methanesulfonyloxy)pentane] were derivatized with 8-mercaptoquinoline to yield fluorescent compounds which were detected with a fluorescence detector equipped with filters of 360 nm (excitation) and 425 nm (emission). Calibration graphs showed a linear correlation (r>0.9990) over the concentration range of 20-2000 ng/ml. The recovery of busulfan from plasma standards was 70+/-5%. The detection and quantification limits for busulfan in plasma sample…

2002

Novel general expressions are constructed and presented that describe the behavior of the height equivalent of a theoretical plate (plate height), H, as a function of the linear velocity, Vx, along the axis, x, of the column and the kinetic parameters that characterize the mass transfer and adsorption mechanisms in chromatographic columns. Open tube capillaries as well as columns packed with either non-porous or porous particles are studied. The porous particles could have unimodal or bimodal pore-size distributions and intraparticle convective fluid flow and pore diffusion are considered. The expressions for the plate height, H, presented in this work could be applicable to high-performanc…

Emerging approaches to estimate retention factors in high performance liquid chromatography.

2004

The retention factor is one of the most universally used parameters in chromatography. The errors associated with the conventional ways to determine the retention factor of compounds in liquid chromatography are studied and compared with those corresponding to new approaches. The later avoid the use of extra-column time and hold-up time values, which have proven to be tedious and ambiguous. Simulations and real data, used to examine the accuracy of four different approaches (two classic and two new), suggest that the new approaches could be considered more satisfactory than the classic ones.
