Liquid Chromatography–Single-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry as a Responsive Tool for Determination of Biogenic Amines in Ready-to-Eat Baby Foods

Baby food has never been the object of biogenic amine profiling. The aim of this study was to develop a highly sensitive method for analysis of biogenic amines in ready-to-eat baby foods. The principle of the developed method involves high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to single-quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC–APCI–MS) of dansyl derivatives, presented also in comparison with common diode array and fluorescence detection systems. The confirmation of correct identification of derivatives was performed by in-source fragmentation of the product ion at 170 m/z, performed only in one MS analyzer. The method was used to identify the amine profile and quantify the putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine, and spermine content in 68 ready-to-eat baby foods. The limits of detection and quantification were in the range of 0.07–1.67 and 0.2–5.0 ng mL^??1. The method enabled quantification of amines at ng/g level in almost all analyzed samples, without any preconcentration step. Amine recoveries of 86.0–105.2% were obtained with RSD?≤?9.7%. The developed method could be used for quantification of the most frequently occurring BAs in foods including vegetables, fish, meat, or fruit at previously undetectable concentration levels, making the method multimatrix applicable and highly-sensitive.

415 - Surface and/or Donnan potentials at the thylakoid membrane?: Part II. Calculation of light-induced surface potential changes and corresponding ion movement for a 1 : 1 electrolyte

The surface potential at the inner side of the thylakoid membrane in the dark and in the light state is calculated using the simple Gouy-Chapman theory, together with modifications to allow for proton binding to the surface. The corresponding transmembrane potential change and the ion transport, necessary for ion redistribution in the diffuse double layer, are formulated. the steady-state generalized Donnan potential is shown to be negligible. Finally, the surface potential representation is compared with the Donnan potential representation, given in the preceding paper. On the basis of the formula derived, measurements are discussed which will help to decide between the different concepts.
