A procedure has been developed for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) in foods by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as 2,2-bis-(4-(isopropoxycarbonyloxy)phenyl)propane formed in the reaction with isopropyl chloroformate. Optimal conditions have been found for BPA derivatization, providing its quantitative conversion into diether derivative in aqueous media. The concentration of BPA has been determined in some samples of canned foods and beverages (from 2.15 to 42.91 ng/g). The detection limit is 0.05–0.1 ng/g.     

Simultaneous determination of NOGE-related and BADGE-related compounds in canned food by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

An improved analytical method enabling rapid and accurate determination and identification of bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (novolac glycidyl ether 2-ring), novolac glycidyl ether 3-ring, novolac glycidyl ether 4-ring, novolac glycidyl ether 5-ring, novolac glycidyl ether 6-ring, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, bisphenol A (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether, bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether, bisphenol A bis(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) ether, and bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) ether in canned food and their contact packaging materials has been developed by using, for the first time, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. After comparison of electrospray ionization and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in positive and negative-ion modes, tandem mass spectrometry with positive electrospray ionization was chosen to carry out selective multiple reaction monitoring analysis of novolac glycidyl ethers, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, and its derivatives. The analysis time is only 5.5 min per run. Limits of detection varied from 0.01 to 0.20 ng g(-1) for the different target compounds on the basis of a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) = 3; limits of quantitation were from 0.03 to 0.66 ng g(-1). The relative standard deviation for repeatability was <8.01%. Analytical recovery ranged from 87.60 to 108.93%. This method was successfully applied to twenty samples of canned food and their contact packaging materials for determination of migration of NOGE, BADGE, and their derivatives from can coatings into food.     

Comparison of three cyclodextrins to optimize bisphenol A extraction from source water: Computational,spectroscopic, and analytical studies

Computationally and spectroscopically assisted analytical comparative investigation into the extraction of bisphenol A using three cyclodextrins, that is, α, β, and γ respectively, were performed. A simple, self-tailored μ-solid-phase extraction podium was used to extract bisphenol A from water samples, and high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bisphenol A. Density functional theory first principle calculations, attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Fourier-transform Raman spectroscopy data supports the analytical selection of β-cyclodextrin as the adsorbent for bisphenol A extraction. Analytical optimization of various parameters including sample volume, sample pH, eluting solvent and its volume was performed to discover the most proper conditions for maximum extraction. Under the optimized conditions, a limit of detection value of 0.70 ng/ml and a limit of quantification value of 2.31 ng/ml was achieved with β-cyclodextrin, with recovery (%) values over 98.40–102.50 in real source water samples. Overall, well assisted by comprehensive computational and spectroscopic studies, a novel, simple, sensitive and economic analytical method was developed for the extraction of bisphenol A from source water using cyclodextrin.     

Quantification of bisphenol A and its selected analogs in serum using pre‐column derivatization with high‐performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry

Due to regulation of the use of bisphenol A, several analogs serving as bisphenol A replacements have drawn substantial attention for their adverse health effects. To investigate their occurrence in humans and identify possible pollution sources, it is necessary to develop a sensitive method for total bisphenols detection. Thus, a method based on enzymolysis and liquid‐liquid extraction followed by molecularly imprinted polymer solid‐phase extraction and pre‐column derivatization with high‐performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry was proposed. The developed method exhibited superior selectivity and sensitivity. The matrix effect can be eliminated to a great extent. The method detection limits for eight bisphenols were 0.05～0.19 ng/mL. Satisfactory recoveries (71～119%) were obtained by spiking bovine serum at three levels (0.8, 8 and, 20 ng/mL). The method was successfully applied to determine total bisphenols in the serum samples of children. Bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol S, bisphenol B and bisphenol F were detected with concentrations from below the method detection limit to 1.65, 0.45, 0.79, 2.04 and 0.17 ng/mL, respectively. These results indicate that bisphenol A remains the major pollutant among the studied bisphenols in children, whereas threats from bisphenol A analogs should also be monitored.

A chemometric strategy for optimization of solid-phase microextraction: determination of bisphenol A and 4-nonylphenol with HPLC

A sensitive method for the analysis of bisphenol A and 4-nonylphenol is developed by means of the optimization of solid-phase microextraction using Uniform Experimental Design methodology followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis with fluorescence detection. The optimal extraction conditions are determined based on the relationship between parameters and the peak area.

The good analytical features achieved make the proposed method an interesting option for the direct determination of these compounds in aqueous canned food such as peas, tuna, olives, maize, artichokes or palm hearts. Both the optimization process and the results, including the analysis of real samples, are given and discussed.     

A new competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for determination of estrogenic bisphenols

Bisphenol A and other hydroxylated diphenylalkanes (generally known as bisphenols) have been identified as potential estrogenic substances. In this paper, a specific polyclonal antibody was produced against these compounds by immunization of rabbits with a conjugate of 4,4-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) valeric acid and bovine serum albumin (BHPVA-BSA). The polyclonal antibody showed specific recognition of the bisphenol structure, while the cross reactions of other common phenolic compounds such as phenol, hydroquinol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid were all lower than 1%. The linear range of bisphenol A calibration curve was 1–10 000 ng ml⁻¹. Real water samples and mouse serum samples were spiked with known amount of bisphenol A and measured by the competitive ELISA. Recoveries were between 92 and 105%. The detection limits were found to be 0.1 ng ml⁻¹ for real water samples and 2 ng ml⁻¹ for serum samples. The method is very useful for monitoring bisphenol compounds in environmental and biological samples.

Importance of control of enzymatic degradation for determination of bisphenol A from fruits and vegetables

The purpose of this study was to develop an analytical method for determination of bisphenol A (BPA) from fruits and vegetables. The present method developed for extraction of BPA from samples was based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) method and solvent extraction. Recovery results in the samples spiked with a 10 ng/ml BPA [no detection (<1 ng/g) to 77%] were lower than those in the samples with a 50 ng/ml BPA (26-96%). The fact that the low recovery results were caused by BPA degradation by enzymes is found. These problems were proved by the pH (pH ≤3) and the heating treatment (at ≥80 °C for 5 min). However, because the heating treatment at temperatures of ≥80 °C for 5 min is more difficult and time-consuming method than the pH control, we suggest that the pH control is useful to prevent BPA degradation. Good recovery results (82-101%) were obtained from all fruit and vegetable samples after pH treatment (pH ≤3). Effective elimination of impurities and a good detection limit (1 ng/g) were obtained with a method involving two SPE cartridges (OASIS HLB and Sep-Pak Florisil cartridge).

Decanoic acid reverse micelle-based coacervates for the microextraction of bisphenol A from canned vegetables and fruits

Decanoic acid reverse micelle-based coacervates were proposed for the extraction of bisphenol A (BPA) from canned vegetables and fruits prior to its determination by liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection at lambda(exc) = 276 nm and lambda(em) = 306 nm. The procedure involved the extraction of minute quantities (300-700 mg) of homogenized food sample with an aqueous solution containing 10% of THF and 0.5% of decanoic acid, conditions under which the coacervate (around 340 microL) formed in situ and instantaneously. The overall sample treatment, which included extraction and centrifugation, took about 25-30 min, and several samples could be simultaneously treated using conventional lab equipment. No clean-up or solvent evaporation were required. Extraction efficiencies mainly depended on the decanoic acid and THF concentration in the aqueous solution and were not affected by the pH or the temperature in the ranges studied (1-4 and 20-60 degrees C, respectively). Recoveries in samples ranged between about 81 and 96%. The precision of the method, expressed as relative standard deviation, was about 3% and the quantitation limit was around 9 ng g(-1), which was far below the current specific migration limit (SML) set for BPA by the EU Commission (600 ng g(-1)). The method was successfully applied to the determination of BPA in the solid content of canned fruit salad, peaches in syrup, mango slices, red peppers, sweetcorn, green beans and peas. BPA was present at concentrations in the range from 7.8 to 24.4 ng g(-1) in canned fruits and from 55 to 103 ng g(-1) in canned vegetables.     

Chromatographic method for the determination of aflatoxin M1 in cheese, yogurt, and dairy beverages

The aim of this work was to develop and validate a method to determine aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in cheese, yogurt, and dairy beverages. The method consisted of aqueous methanol extraction, immunoaffinity column purification and isolation, RPLC separation, and fluorescence detection. The four types of cheese samples were classified according to moisture and fat content. The mean recoveries were 71% for cheese at spiked levels from 100 to 517 ng/kg, and 76% for yogurt and dairy beverages spiked at levels from 66 to 260 ng/kg. The mean RSDs were 5.9% for cheese, and 10% for yogurt and dairy beverages. The LOD was 3 ng/kg and the LOQ was 10 ng/kg for all test commodities. To test the applicability of the developed method, a small survey of the presence of AFM1 in cheese, yogurt, and dairy beverages purchased in Ribeir?o Preto-SP, Brazil, was conducted. AFM1 was detected (> 3 ng/kg) in all samples. Twenty cheese samples (83%) were contaminated with AFM1 in the range of 13-304 ng/kg. In yogurt and dairy beverages, the contamination was lower (13-22 ng/kg) in five samples (42%). The results indicated that the method is adequate for the determination of AFM1 in these four types of cheese, as well as in yogurt and dairy beverages.     

Determination of quinine in beverages by online coupling capillary isotachophoresis to capillary zone electrophoresis with UV spectrophotometric detection

The present study illustrates the possibilities of capillary isotachophoresis (CITP) online coupled with capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and hyphenated with fiber-based spectrophotometric diode array detection (DAD) for the direct, highly reliable, and ultrasensitive determination of quinine (QUI) in real multicomponent ionic matrices (beverages). Here, the CITP provided an effective online sample pretreatment (preseparation and preconcentration) prior to the CZE separation. Due to the CITP sample preconcentration, a simple UV-visible absorbance spectrophotometric detection was sufficient for obtaining very low concentration limits of detection (~2.3 ng/mL). Enhanced separation selectivity due to the combination of different separation mechanisms (CITP vs. CZE) enabled to obtain a pure analyte zone, suitable for its detection and quantitation in the directly injected real samples. The spectrophotometric DAD, unlike single wavelength UV detection, enabled to characterize the purity (i.e. spectral homogeneity) of the analyte zone and preliminary data indicate structurally related compounds via characteristic spectra recorded in the interval of 200-600 nm. The proposed CITP-CZE-DAD method was characterized by favorable performance parameters (sensitivity, linearity, precision, recovery, accuracy, robustness, and selectivity) and successfully applied to the control of QUI and potential QUI impurities in commercial beverages. This method is proposed as a routine automatized method for the highly reliable quality food control.     

Concentration of ochratoxin A in wines from supermarkets and stores of Valencian Community (Spain)

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by fungi species belonging to the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium being isolated in alcoholic beverages. The aim of this work is developed and applied a procedure for the analysis of OTA in wines. An analytical method based on immunoaffinity column (IAC) for clean-up, liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FD), and LC-FD after of OTA methylation was used to determine the occurrence of OTA in wines. Recoveries of this mycotoxin spiked to red wines at 0.5 ng/ml level were >90% with an average of relative standards deviations of 4%. Furthermore, 116 wine samples from designation of origin (DO) and three samples from food stores of Valencian Community (Spain) were examined for the occurrence of OTA being the levels of this mycotoxin ranged from <0.01 to 0.76 ng/ml. Finally, the estimated daily intake of OTA in this study was 0.15 ng/kg bw per day.

A method for the determination of endocrine disruptors, bisphenol A and 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, in environmental water samples was developed using in-tube solid-phase microextraction followed by liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection. A poly(acrylamide-vinylpyridine) monolithic capillary column was applied as the extraction media in view of its greater phase ratio than open-tubular capillaries and thus higher extraction efficiency. After optimizing the extraction conditions, bisphenol A and 17alpha-ethinylestradiol were extracted directly from water samples in a wide dynamic linear range of 0.5-1000 ng mL(-1), with the detection limits obtained as 0.064 and 0.12 ng mL(-1), respectively. The precision of the method was satisfactory with the intraday and interday RSD values smaller than 7.2%. Environmental water samples of different sources were successfully analyzed with the presented method and the monolithic capillary was proved to be robust and reusable in analyzing real water samples.

Detection of ricin in food using electrochemiluminescence-based technology

Ricin is a toxic ribosome inactivating protein (RIP-II) present in beans of the castor plant, Ricinus communis. Its potential as a biodefense threat has made the rapid, sensitive detection of ricin in food important to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Samples of juice, dairy products, soda, vegetables, bakery products, chocolate, and condiments were spiked with varying concentrations of ricin and analyzed using a 96-well format, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay. Assay configurations included the use of a monoclonal capture antibody coupled with either a polyclonal or monoclonal detector antibody. The samples and detector antibodies were either added sequentially or in combination during the capture step. Using the polyclonal antibody, 0.04 ng/mL ricin was detected in analytical samples prepared from several beverages. By simultaneously incubating the sample with detector antibody, it was possible to decrease the assay time to a single 20 min incubation step with a limit of detection <10 ng/mL. Assays run according to this single incubation step exhibited a hook effect (decrease in signal at high concentrations of ricin), but because of the large signal-to-noise ratio associated with the ECL assay, the response remained above background and detectable. Thus, the ECL assay was uniquely suited for the screening of samples for ricin.     

Determination of bisphenol A in environmental water at ultra-low level by high-performance liquid chromatography with an effective on-line pretreatment device

We have developed a simple HPLC method for the microanalysis of bisphenol A (BPA), which is often contained in environmental water and is known as an endocrine disrupter. HPLC coupled with electrochemical detection requires a simpler procedure of pretreatment compared to GC-MS. In this study, we analyzed BPA using molecularly imprinted polymer as an on-line pretreatment device. This polymer has molecular recognition sites and provides specific selectivity in extraction process. Due to this effect, the detection limit obtained with this HPLC was 0.36 ng/l. This method applied to environmental water and purified water samples containing 2-70 ng/l of BPA successfully. Furthermore, UV detection was performed in some actual analyses.
