Abstract: | In the present study, we have developed a method based on pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FLD) for the determination of residues of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in infant food products. PLE extraction has been optimized by the application of experimental design methodologies. Initially, a fractional factorial design (FFD) was used to screen the significance of four extraction parameters: solvent composition, temperature, pressure and number of cycles. The most significant factors, identified by ANOVA analysis, were the solvent composition, temperature and pressure, which were further optimized with the aid of a face centred design (FCD) and the desirability function. The optimized operating PLE conditions were as follows: ACN/o-phosphoric acid 50 mM pH 3.0 (80:20, v/v), 80 °C, 2000 psi and three extraction cycles of 5 min. Under these conditions, recoveries of the target FQs varied between 69% and 107% with RSDs below 9%. The whole method was validated according to the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC guidelines. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of different infant food products bought in local supermarkets and pharmacies. The results showed the presence of residues of enrofloxacin in a non-compliant baby food sample corresponding to a chicken-based formulation, which were also confirmed and quantified by LC–MS/MS analysis. |
