Determination of Zearalenol and Zearalenone Using Electrochemical Detection

Abstract

A method is described for the determination of zearalenol and zearalenone in corn using electrochemical detection. the sample is extracted with chloroform, and the extract is cleaned up by liquid-liquid partition. Zearalenol and zearalenone are resolved by liquid chromatography (LC), using a C₁₈ column and a mobile phase consisting of 35 + 25 + 40 CH₃ CN + MeOH + H₂O and 0.02 mole/L sodium acetate buffered at pH 6.5. Zearalenol and zearalenone were detected with an electrochemical detector at an applied potential of +0.95V vs Ag/AgCl. Average recoveries of zearalenol and zearalenone in corn samples spiked at levels of 25–1000 ng/g were 104,2 and 97.5%, respectively. the coefficients of variation for the proposed method were 10.8% for zearalenol and 8.8% for zearalenone.     

Liquid chromatographic preparative method for isolating ergot alkaloids, using a particle-loaded membrane extracting disk

A liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of ergot alkaloids in wheat. Ergonovine, ergotamine, ergocornine, alpha-ergocryptine, and ergocristine are extracted from wheat with methanol-0.25% concentrated H3PO4 (40 + 60) pH 2.2, cleaned up by using a solid-phase extraction (SPE) disk, and separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Ergot alkaloids are basic compounds that form water-soluble salts in acidic aqueous solution. Because ergot alkaloid salts are positively charged, they can be easily and selectively trapped on a negatively charged strong cation-exchange SPE disk. A strong wash solvent, methanol-0.25% concentrated H3PO4 (40 + 60) was used to remove matrix interferences not bonded by ionic interactions with the cation-exchange column. The ergot alkaloids were eluted from the ion-exchange column by adjusting the pH of the elution solvents to slightly basic conditions (pH 9). The SPE disk concentrated and cleanly separated the ergot alkaloids from matrix interferences. Standard calibration curves for ergot alkaloids for the concentration range 0.1-2.0 microg/mL were linear. The SPE disk had a column capacity equivalent to about 1 g extracted wheat. At spiking levels of 2.3-46 ng/g for ergonovine and 20-400 ng/g for ergotamine, ergocornine, alpha-ergocryptine, and ergocristine, the mean recovery was 88.1% with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 5.33%. The recovery data ranged from 79.1 to 95.9%. Ergonovine had the lowest overall recovery and the largest CV. The method has an estimated reliable limit of detection and limit of quantitation of <5 and <20 ng/g, respectively, for each ergot alkaloid tested.     

Derivative spectrum chromatographic method for the determination of trimethoprim in honey samples using an on-line solid-phase extraction technique

A simple, selective and rapid analytical method for determination of trimethoprim (TMP) in honey samples was developed and validated. This method is based on a SPE technique followed by HPLC with photodiode array detection. After dilution and filtration, aliquots of 500 μL honey samples were directly injected to an on-line SPE HPLC system. TMP was extracted on an RP SPE column, and separated on a hydrophilic interaction chromatography column during HPLC analysis. At the first detection step, the noise level of the photodiode array data was reduced with two-dimensional equalizer filtering, and then the smoothed data were subjected to derivative spectrum chromatography. On the second-derivative chromatogram at 254 nm, the limit of detection and the limit of quantification of TMP in a honey sample were 5 and 10 ng/g, respectively. The proposed method showed high accuracy (60-103%) with adequate sensitivity for TMP monitoring in honey samples.     

Evaluation of Fumonitest Immunoaffinity Columns

Abstract

A method for the determination of fumonisins B1 and B2 in corn was developed. The method involves sample extraction with methanol:water (80:20) and the use of a commercially available Fumonitest column for sample cleanup. The capacity, selectivity, column-to-column and lot-to-lot reproducibility of the Fumonitest columns were evaluated. The total capacity of the column was found to be 1.2 μg fumonisin. Both fumonisins B1 and B2 had an equal affinity toward the Fumonitest column, with the sample matrix demonstrating little effect on the column performance. The maximum sample size was 0.5 g for samples containing total fumonisins of less than 2 ppm. After elution from the immunoaffinity column, fumonisins B1 and B2 were reacted with naphthalene-2, 3-dicarboxaldehyde (NDA) to produce a highly fluorescent derivative, 1-cyano-2-alkyl-benz[f]isoindole (CBI). The derivatives were then separated from the sample matrix on a reverse phase C-18 column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile:water:acetic acid (55:45:1) Average recoveries of fumonisins B1 and B2 from corn samples spiked at a level of 1000 ng (500ng B1 + 500ng B2)/g were 85.4 and 87.1%, respectively. The detection limit for B1 and B2 was estimated to be 10 and 4 ppb, respectively. The coefficient of variations for fumonisins B1 and B2 were determined to be 10.2% and 10.6%, respectively.     

Determination of zearalenone content in cereals and feedstuffs by immunoaffinity column coupled with liquid chromatography

The zearalenone content of maize, wheat, barley, swine feed, and poultry feed samples was determined by immunoaffinity column cleanup followed by liquid chromatography (IAC-LC). Samples were extracted in methanol-water (8 + 2, v/v) solution. The filtered extract was diluted with distilled water and applied to immunoaffinity columns. Zearalenone was eluted with methanol, dried by evaporation, and dissolved in acetonitrile-water (3 + 7, v/v). Zearalenone was separated by isocratic elution of acetonitrile-water (50 + 50, v/v) on reversed-phase C18 column. The quantitative analysis was performed by fluorescence detector and confirmation was based on the UV spectrum obtained by a diode array detector. The mean recovery rate of zearalenone was 82-97% (RSD, 1.4-4.1%) on the original (single-use) immunoaffinity columns. The limit of detection of zearalenone by fluorescence was 10 ng/g at a signal-to-noise ratio of 10:1 and 30 ng/g by spectral confirmation in UV. A good correlation was found (R2 = 0.89) between the results obtained by IAC-LC and by the official AOAC-LC method. The specificity of the method was increased by using fluorescence detection in parallel with UV detection. This method was applicable to the determination of zearalenone content in cereals and other kinds of feedstuffs. Reusability of immunoaffinity columns was examined by washing with water after sample elution and allowing columns to stand for 24 h at room temperature. The zearalenone recovery rate of the regenerated columns varied between 79 and 95% (RSD, 3.2-6.3%). Columns can be regenerated at least 3 times without altering their performance and without affecting the results of repeated determinations.     

Determination of residues of azamethiphos in salmon tissue by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method with fluorescence detection (FLD) is described for determining residues of the pesticide azamethiphos (AZA) in salmon tissue. The sample is extracted with ethyl acetate, centrifuged, dehydrated with anhydrous sodium sulfate, evaporated, reconstituted in water, and defatted with hexane. The aqueous phase is passed through a C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) column. The SPE column is eluted with methanol, and the eluate is evaporated to dryness and then taken up in 10% acetonitrile (ACN) in water. The analyte is determined by LC using a C18 column, ACN-H2O (32 + 68) mobile phase, and FLD with excitation at 230 nm and emission at 345 nm. Composited salmon tissues were fortified with AZA at 5, 10, 21, 42, and 83 ng/g or ppb (target level, X = 10 ng/g). Overall recoveries were 86%, with between-day variability of 5.3%. The method detection limit was calculated as 1.2 ppb AZA based on a 5 g sample. The limit of quantitation as determined empirically by this method is the lower limit of the standard curve, approximately 5 ppb.

Determination of perfluorinated chemicals in food and drinking water using high-flow solid-phase extraction and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

For this study, we developed methods of determining ten perfluorinated chemicals in drinking water, milk, fish, beef, and pig liver using high-flow automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. The analytes were separated on a core-shell Kinetex C18 column. The mobile phase was composed of methanol and 10-mM N-methylmorpholine. Milk was digested with 0.5 N potassium hydroxide in Milli-Q water, and was extracted with an Atlantic HLB disk to perform automated SPE at a flow rate ranged from 70 to 86 mL/min. Drinking water was directly extracted by the SPE. Solid food samples were digested in alkaline methanol and their supernatants were diluted and also processed by SPE. The disks were washed with 40% methanol/60% water and then eluted with 0.1% ammonium hydroxide in methanol. Suppression of signal intensity of most analytes by matrixes was lower than 50%; it was generally lower in fish and drinking water but higher in liver. Most quantitative biases and relative standard deviations were lower than 15%. The limits of detection for most analytes were sub-nanograms per liter for drinking water and sub-nanograms per gram for solid food samples. This method greatly shortened the time and labor needed for digestion, SPE, and liquid chromatography. This method has been applied to analyze 14 types of food samples. Perfluorooctanoic acid was found to be the highest among the analytes (median at 3.2-64 ng/g wet weight), followed by perfluorodecanoic acid (0.7-25 ng/g) and perfluorododecanoic acid (0.6-15 ng/g).     

Automatic sample preparation of sulfonamide antibiotic residues in chicken breast muscle by using dynamic microwave-assisted extraction coupled with solid-phase extraction

In the work, a rapid, simple and high-throughput sample preparation method was developed for the determination of sulfonamide (SA) antibiotic residues in chicken breast muscle. The extraction and clean-up were online combined and up to 20 samples can be treated simultaneously in 6 min. The SAs were first extracted with acetonitrile under the action of microwave energy, and then the extract was directly introduced into the SPE column for on-line clean-up and concentration. Subsequently, the SAs eluted from the SPE column were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The precisions of extraction results of 20 samples were in the range of 4.9-7.4%. The limits of detection and quantification obtained were in the range of 2.4-3.6 ng/g and 8.6-11.3 ng/g for SAs, respectively. The recoveries of SAs obtained by analyzing chicken muscles at three fortified levels (10, 50 and 500 ng/g) were in the range of 82.6-93.2%. The results of the validation process prove that the proposed method is suitable for treating numbers of complex samples simultaneously in a short time.     

Simultaneous determination of residues of chloramphenicol, florfenicol, florfenicol amine, and thiamphenicol in shrimp tissue by gas chromatography with electron capture detection

A gas chromatographic (GC) method is presented for determining residues of chloramphenicol (CAP), florfenicol (FF), florfenicol amine (FFa), and thiamphenicol (TAP) in shrimp tissues, with meta-nitrochloramphenicol (mCAP) as the internal standard. The composited shrimp is extracted with basic ethyl acetate, followed by an acetonitrile-basic ethyl acetate mixture. This extract is centrifuged, filtered, evaporated, and reconstituted in water; the reconstituted extract is acidified, defatted with hexane, and passed through a propylsulfonic acid (PRS) and C18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) system. The C18 SPE column is eluted with methanol, and the PRS SPE column is eluted with basic MeOH plus counter ion. The combined eluates are evaporated, reconstituted in acetonitrile, and derivatized with Sylon BFT. After derivatization, the addition of toluene directly to the sample, followed by the addition of basic water, quenches the derivatization process. After centrifugation, the organic layer is carefully removed, and the analytes are determined by GC with electron capture detection. Shrimp tissues were fortified with fenicols (i.e., CAP, FF, FFa, and TAP) at 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 ng/mL. Overall recoveries were 88, 101, 91, and 84% with overall interassay (between-day) variabilities (i.e., relative standard deviations) of 5.3, 9.4, 12.8, and 7.4% for CAP, FF, FFa, and TAP, respectively. The method detection limits were calculated as 0.7, 1.4, 2.4, and 1.3 ng/g (ppb) for CAP, FF, FFa, and TAP, respectively, based on a 10 g sample. The quantitation limit as determined empirically by this method is the lower limit of the standard curve, which is about 5 ng/g (ppb) for each analyte.     

Rapid immunoaffinity-based method for determination of zearalenone in corn by fluorometry and liquid chromatography

An immunoaffinity-based method was developed to determine zearalenone in corn. Corn samples were extracted in acetonitrile-water (90 + 10, v/v), applied to an immunoaffinity column, and eluted with methanol. The isolated toxin was quantitated either by reaction with aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3.6H2O) prior to measurement with a fluorometer or injection into a liquid chromatographic (LC) system with a fluorescence detector. Performance was evaluated in terms of antibody specificity, limit of detection, percentage recovery, precision, column capacity, assay linearity, and comparison with AOAC Official Method 985.18. With the immunoaffinity column cleanup procedure, only zearalenone and its metabolites were recognized by the antibody (> or = 75% recovery). Limits of detection were 0.10 microgram/g for the fluorometer and 0.10 or 0.0025 microgram/g (sensitive method) for the LC method. Percentage recovery averaged 105% (fluorometer) and 93% (LC method), with average relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 15.7 and 9.3%. Naturally contaminated samples gave comparable RSDs of 8.3 and 9.9% for the fluorometer and LC methods, respectively. Column capacity was 4.0 micrograms with 89% recovery. Assay linearity was comparable for both methods (r2 = 0.998). Optimum assay ranges were 0.10-5.0 micrograms/g for the fluorometer and 0.10-50 or 0.0025-5.0 micrograms/g (sensitive method) for the LC method. Comparative analysis of 17 naturally contaminated corn samples using Zearala Test LC and the official AOAC LC method for detection of zearalenone showed that Zearala Test is statistically comparable to the AOAC Official Method 985.18 (r2 = 0.747).

Molecularly imprinted polymers applied to the clean-up of zearalenone and α-zearalenol from cereal and swine feed sample extracts

A molecularly imprinted polymer prepared using 1-allylpiperazine (1-ALPP) as the functional monomer, trimethyltrimethacrylate (TRIM) as the crosslinker and the zearalenone (ZON)-mimicking template cyclododecanyl-2,4-dihydroxybenzoate (CDHB) has been applied to the clean-up and preconcentration of this mycotoxin (zearalenone) and a related metabolite, alpha-zearalenol (alpha-ZOL), from cereal and swine feed sample extracts. The extraction of ZON and alpha-ZOL from the food samples was accomplished using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with MeOH/ACN (50:50, v/v) as the extraction solvent, at 50 degrees C and 1500 psi. The extracted samples were cleaned up and preconcentrated through the MIP cartridge and analyzed using HPLC with fluorescence detection (lambda (exc)=271/ lambda (em)=452 nm). The stationary phase was a polar endcapped C18 column, and ACN/MeOH/water 10/55/35 (v/v/v, 15 mM ammonium acetate) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min(-1) was used as the mobile phase. The method was applied to the analysis of ZON and alpha-ZOL in wheat, corn, barley, rye, rice and swine feed samples fortified with 50, 100 and 400 ng g(-1) of both mycotoxins, and it gave recoveries of between 85 and 97% (RSD 2.1-6.7%, n=3) and 87-97% (RSD 2.3-5.6%, n=3) for alpha-ZOL and ZON, respectively. The method was validated using a corn reference material for ZON.     

Evaluation of two molecularly imprinted polymers for the solid‐phase extraction of natural,synthetic and mycoestrogens from environmental water samples before liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry

In this work, we have compared the selectivity of two commercial molecularly imprinted polymers (AFFINIMIP®SPE Estrogens and AFFINIMIP®SPE Zearalenone) for the extraction of 12 estrogenic compounds of interest (i.e. 17α‐estradiol, 17β‐estradiol, estrone, hexestrol, 17α‐ethynylestradiol, diethylstibestrol, dienestrol, zearalenone, α‐zearalanol, β‐zearalanol, α‐zearalenol and β‐zearalenol) from different water samples. High‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with ion trap mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization was used for their determination. Results showed that although both molecularly imprinted polymeric cartridges were specifically designed for different groups of analytes (natural estrogens like estradiol in the first case and zearalenone derivatives in the second) they nearly have the same extraction performance (with recovery values in the range 65–101%) for the same analytes in Milli‐Q water because of the cross‐reactivity of the polymer. However, when more complex water samples were analyzed, it was clear that the behavior was different and that the AFFINIMIP®SPE Estrogens showed less cross‐reactivity than the other cartridge. Validation of the proposed methodology with both cartridges revealed that the extraction was reproducible and that the final limits of detection of the proposed method were in the low ng/L range.     

Microwave-assisted extraction of zearalenone from wheat and corn

A microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method has been developed for determination of zearalenone in wheat and corn by LC-MS with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization interface (APCI). Matrix effects were minimized by use of matrix-matched standard curves for quantification of the analyte. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of the method was 30 ng g(-1) in wheat and 20 ng g(-1) in corn. The rapid LC-MS method enabled analysis of the extracts without clean-up, thereby reducing analyte losses, the time required for the analytical procedure, and costs. A factorial design approach was used to examine the effect on extraction efficiency of the main extraction conditions - time, temperature, and solvent. On the basis of results from statistical assessment extraction was performed with 1:1 (v/v) methanol-acetonitrile at 80 degrees C for 5 min. When these extraction conditions were applied to a wheat sample from a recently conducted international proficiency test, 92% (103 ng g(-1)) of the assigned zearalenone concentration (112 ng g(-1)) in the test material was obtained. This result was within the uncertainty (u) range of the assigned value of the test material (u=+/-15.8 ng g(-1), alpha=0.05) thereby demonstrating the accuracy of the method was sufficient. The precision of the whole method was also confirmed to be adequate, because the observed relative standard deviation (RSD) of 12% (n=10) also fulfils the quality criteria recommended by European guidelines for in-house method validation.

近年来,环境水体中出现的药物及个人护理品污染物受到人们越来越多的关注,其中就包括解热镇痛类药物。传统的固相萃取材料对水体中解热镇痛类药物的富集效率较低。为此,开发了一种亲水亲脂型的双亲多孔吸附聚合物材料(Guochuang hydrophilic material, GCHM)。以N-乙烯基吡咯烷酮和二乙烯基苯为原料,利用乳液胶束-分步反应法成功制备出GCHM。基于自主研发的固相萃取柱,采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱技术,建立了水体中4种解热镇痛类药物的检测方法。水样经GCHM固相萃取柱富集净化后上机检测,以0.1%(v/v)甲酸水溶液和乙腈作为流动相进行梯度洗脱,目标分析物在ACQUITY UPLC^® HSS T3色谱柱(100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.8 μm)上实现分离,在电喷雾正离子模式下进行多反应监测(MRM),内标法定量。比较Oasis HLB、Bond Elut Plexa和GCHM 3种固相萃取柱的富集效率,结果表明GCHM固相萃取柱总体效果最优。在不同pH值下比较了GCHM固相萃取柱对目标分析物的富集效果,并对基质效应进行了评估。结果表明,当pH为7时,4种目标分析物在固相萃取柱上的富集效果最好;各物质的基质效应均在82.8%~102.2%之间,表明水样经GCHM固相萃取柱净化后,基质去除明显。4种目标分析物在1~100 μg/L范围内线性关系良好,相关系数(r)均大于0.995,方法定量限(S/N=10)在1~5 ng/L之间,在3个加标水平下的回收率均在85.6%~106.4%之间,相对标准偏差(RSD)均低于5.6%。GCHM固相萃取柱成本低,效果好,适用于水体中4种解热镇痛类药物的检测,较商品化的进口固相萃取柱具有潜在的优势,值得推广应用。     

Application of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as sorbents for the extraction of mycotoxins in water samples and infant milk formula prior to high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis

In this work, a simple and environmental friendly methodology has been developed for the analysis of a group of six mycotoxins with estrogenic activity produced by Fusarium species (i.e. zearalanone, zearalenone, α‐zearalanol, β‐zearalanol, α‐zearalenol, and β‐zearalenol), using microdispersive SPE (μ‐dSPE) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes as sorbent. Separation, determination, and quantification were achieved by HPLC coupled to ion trap MS with an ESI interface. Parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of µ‐dSPE such as pH of the sample, amount of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and type and volume of elution solvent, were studied and optimized. The methodology was validated for mineral, pond, and wastewater as well as for powdered infant milk using 17β‐estradiol‐2,4,16,16,17‐d₅ (17β‐E₂‐D₅) as internal standard, obtaining recoveries ranging from 85 to 120% for the three types of water samples and from 77 to 115% for powdered infant milk. RSD values were lower than 10%. The LOQs achieved were in the range 0.05–2.90 μg/L for water samples and 2.02–31.9 μg/L for powdered infant milk samples.     

Thin-layer chromatographic detection of zeranol and estradiol in fortified plasma and tissue extracts with Fast Corinth V.

In an attempt to improve sensitivity of thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) analysis and selectivity of visualizing agents for detection of estrogenic anabolic hormones, several dyes were screened for their chromogenic interactions with estrone, estradiol, diethylstilbestrol (DES), zeranol (zearalanol), zearalanone, and mycotoxins, zearalenone and zearalenol. Fast Corinth V salt was selected for its relatively high sensitivity. These anabolic compounds were separated by TLC and visualized with Corinth V and the results compared to iodine and starch visualization. Fortified bovine plasma and tissues (kidney, liver and muscle) and chicken muscles were analyzed after a clean-up procedure using solid-phase dual columns of alumina and anion-exchange resin. Iodine-starch clearly detected 4 ng of estradiol and DES while zeranol and zearalenone were detected at higher levels (10 ng). Fast Corinth V showed distinct spots with 2 ng of zeranol and 4 ng of zearalenone while faint spots were observed with estradiol and estrone standards. DES was not detectable at these levels. Less background interference was observed with Corinth V than with iodine-starch. The former confirmed spots detected by iodine-starch. This study suggests its selectivity for detection of zeranol and its metabolite, zearalanone, in the presence of steroidal compounds.
