A Simple, Efficient, Eco-Friendly Sample Preparation Procedure for the Simultaneous Determination of Hormones in Meat and Fish Products by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Foods 2022; 11:3095. [PMID: 36230170 PMCID: PMC9562678 DOI: 10.3390/foods11193095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Food safety can be severely compromised by the presence of chemical contaminants. This has raised a pressing need to develop efficient analytical methods for their determination at very low levels in complex food matrices. In this manuscript, we developed a simple, sensitive, fast, green analytical method for the determination of thirteen natural and synthetic hormones from different families including progestogens, estrogens and androgens in meat and fish products. The method involves direct extraction with a (9:1) acetonitrile-water mixture and subsequent purification of the extract by semi-automated solid-phase extraction on a sorbent column (hydrophilic-lipophilic copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and divinylbenzene). This treatment enriches samples with the target compounds while removing proteins, lipids and other potential interferences from their matrix for the accurate determination of the analytes by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, all within 15 min. The proposed method exhibits good linearity (r ≥ 0.996), low limits of detection (0.4-15 ng/kg), acceptable recoveries (90-105%) and relative standard deviations (≤7%); in addition, it is scarcely subject to matrix effects (1-20%). The method was successfully used to determine natural and synthetic hormones in meat and fish products from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Greece, Norway, Morocco and the USA. The analytes were found at especially high levels (30-1900 ng/kg) in mussels, beef and pork.

Abstract
Steroid hormones, such as estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), 17β-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and estriol (E3) are a group of lipophilic active substances, synthesized biologically from cholesterol or chemically. A pH-switchable hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based liquid phase microextraction (DES-LPME) technique was established and combined with gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy for the determination of estrogenic compounds in environmental water and wastewater samples. A DES was synthesized using l-menthol as HBA and (1S)-(+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (CSA) as HBD, and used as a green extraction solvent. By adjusting the pH of the solution, the unique behavior of the DES in the phase transition and extraction of the desired analytes was investigated. The homogenization process of the mixture is done only by manual shaking in less than 30 seconds and the phase separation is done only by changing the pH and without centrifugation. Some effective parameters on the extraction and derivatization, such as molar ratio of DES components, DES volume, KOH concentration, HCl volume, salt addition, extraction and derivatization time and derivatization prior or after extraction were studied and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, relative standard deviation (RSD) values for intra-day and inter-day of the method based on 7 replicate measurements of 20 ng L−1 of estrogenic compounds and 10 ng L−1 for internal standard in different samples were in the range of 2.2–4.6% and 3.9–5.7%, respectively. The calibration graphs were linear in the range of 0.5–100 ng L−1 and the limits of detection (LODs) were in the range of 0.2–1.0 ng L−1. The relative recoveries of environmental water and wastewater samples which have been spiked with different levels of target compounds were 91.0–108.8%. A pH-switchable hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based liquid phase microextraction (DES-LPME) technique was established and combined with gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy for the determination of estrogenic compounds in environmental samples.![]()

Estrogens and Androgens in Plants: The Last 20 Years of Studies. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10122783.

Abstract
Although the only known steroid hormones in plants are brassinosteroids, interestingly, mammalian steroid hormones such as androgens or estrogens are also part of the plant metabolic profile. This presented review is focused on the progress that has been made in this matter during the last two decades. The presence of testosterone, 17β-estradiol, and other androgens/estrogens in plants (particularly those that can be measured using more advanced techniques) is described. The physiological activity of androgens and estrogens, especially in plants’ stress response, are discussed, together with some possible mechanisms of their action. The current knowledge indicates that although androgens and estrogens do not have the status of hormones in plants, they are physiologically active and can serve as regulators that support the activity of classic hormones in (1) regulating the various processes connected with plant growth and development and (2) the interaction of plants with their environment.

Abstract
Environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals have become a global environmental problem, and the distribution, transport, and fate of estrogens in soil and water environments closely relate to human and ecological health as well as to the remediation scheme design. A new micro-extraction technique termed dispersive liquid–liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) was developed for the determination of the concentration of steroid estrogens in water samples. The detection limits of HPLC-FLD and DLLME-HPLC/FLD were 0.68–1.73 μg L−1 and 7.16–69.22 ng L−1, respectively. Based on this method, the isothermal adsorption of 17β-E2 on sand and a breakthrough experiment of 17β-E2 and Cu2+ in a soil aquifer treatment (SAT) system were studied. The 17β-E2 adsorption capacity of sand in 17β-E2 solution was detected to be larger than that in a mixed solution of 17β-E2 and Cu(NO3)2 solution, and the breakthrough curves of 17β-E2 and Cu2+ in the mixed solution shifted forward in sand column experiments. Both suggested that the competitive adsorption of 17β-E2 and Cu2+ in the mixed solution might occur on the surface of the sand. In the process of the removal of 17β-E2 in wastewater by SAT, the existence of Cu2+ slightly inhibited the adsorption of 17β-E2 and accelerated the breakthrough of 17β-E2. These results ought to be a warning for SAT application for 17β-E2 removal in water where heavy metals coexist.

Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) present in foods have been a major concern for food safety due to their persistence and toxic effects. To ensure food safety and protect human health from POPs, it is critical to achieve a better understanding of POP pathways into food and develop strategies to reduce human exposure. POPs could present in food in the raw stages, transferred from the environment or artificially introduced during food preparation steps. Exposure to these pollutants may cause various health problems such as endocrine disruption, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, birth defects, and dysfunctional immune and reproductive systems. This review describes potential sources of POP food contamination, analytical approaches to measure POP levels in food and efforts to control food contamination with POPs.

Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) cause a significant public and environmental health concern due to their toxicity, long-range transportability, persistence, and bioaccumulation. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a program to monitor POPs in human and animal foods at ultra-trace levels, using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Stringent quality control procedures are practiced within this program, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of these POP results. Due to the complexity of this program's quality control (QC), the decision-making process for data usability was very time-consuming, upward of three analyst hours for a batch of six extracts. We significantly reduced this time by developing a software kit, written in Python, to evaluate instrument and sample QC, along with data usability. A diverse set of 45 samples were tested using our software, QUICK (Quality and Usability Investigation and Control Kit), that resulted in equivalent results provided by a human reviewer. The software improved the efficiency of the analytical process by reducing the need for user intervention, while simultaneously recognizing a 95% decrease in data reduction time, from 3 hours to 10 minutes.

A Novel Magnetic Molecular Imprinted Polymer for Selective Extraction of Zearalenone from Cereal Flours before Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Determination.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by various Fusarium species and commonly occurring in corn and other cereals. Even though its acute toxicity is low, still the estrogenic activity of ZEN and metabolites is a matter of concern. In this work, a new magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (mMIP) for the selective extraction of ZEN from cereal flours is presented. The mMIP was synthesized previously using quercetin as dummy template, and here we wanted to test its applicability to complex food samples. Analyte determination was carried out by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The selectivity of the mMIP and the main validation method parameters were assessed. In particular, even in samples as complex as cereals, matrix effect was negligible. Although the mMIP showed cross-selectivity towards both ZEN-related and quercetin-related compounds, nonetheless ZEN recovery was > 95% for the two lower spiking levels, and the quantification limit was 0.14 ng g−1, i.e., ca. 500 times lower than the maximum limit fixed for most cereals by European law. Therefore, the material, also in comparison with a commercial sorbent, appears suitable for the application in food analysis, also to isolate ZEN at trace levels.

Abstract
Background Light‐initiated chemiluminescent assays (LICA) are homogeneous assays that are sensitive, specific, and free of separation and washing steps and have high throughput and high precision. Methods In this research, we developed a competitive method by LICA to achieve accurate quantification of estradiol (E2) in human serum. E2 competed with estriol (E3) for binding to anti‐human E2 antibodies. E3 was linked to biotin via bovine serum albumin as a linker. As this assay used competition between the labeled tracer and the analyte, an increase in E2 concentration will cause a signal decrease. Results The expected detection range of E2 was 20‐5000 pg/mL. The analytical and functional sensitivities were 7.16 and 13.7 pg/mL, respectively. The intra‐ and inter‐assay coefficients of variation were both below 15%, and the recovery rate ranged from 97.5% to 106.8%. The interference rates ranged from −3.6% to 5.4% and met detection requirements for E2 in hyperbilirubinemia, hemolysis, and lipemia in clinical samples. In addition, the cross‐reactivity rates between E2 and structural analogs and some reproductive hormones varied from 1.9% to 10.6% which showed that LICA is highly specific for E2. Moreover, our results showed high accordance with the IMMULITE 2000 (y = 0.6695x + 47.92, r2 = .843) and VIDAS systems (y = 1.099x − 821.5, r2 = .9392). Conclusion Our data show that the LICA, which is easy to automate, is a promising technique for quantification of E2 in human serum and could be used for clinical detection.

Abstract
Dummy molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres (DMIPMS) towards estrogens were synthesized by Pickering emulsion polymerization employing genistein (GEN) as a dummy template molecule. The FTIR analysis indicated the successful preparation of the imprinted polymers, and the characterization results of scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption desorption measurement indicated that the obtained DMIPMS are in possess of regular spherical shapes, porous structures and narrow diameter distribution, a BET surface area of 402.74 m2 g-1, a total pore volume of 0.568 cm3 g-1 and a pore diameter of 3.62 nm. The binding capacity and selectivity of DMIPMS were investigated in equilibrium binding experiments and chromatographic evaluation experiments through scatchard analysis and molecular imprinting factor (IF) analysis, respectively. The MIPs showed high binding capacity and excellent selectivity towards seven selected natural and synthetic estrogens, which are Estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (βE2), estriol (E3), ethinylestradiol (EE2), dienestrol(DS), diethylstilbestrol (DES), and hexestrol (HEX). A method for selective determination of seven estrogens in milk samples via dummy molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction coupled with HPLC-MS/MS was developed, which showed good linearity from 2 to 500 µg L-1 with a correlation coefficient (R2) of more than 0.999. The detection limits were within the range of 0.10-0.35 µg L-1 and the recoveries of the seven estrogens at three spiking levels (10,100,250 µg L-1) ranged from 88.9% to 102.3% with relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 5) for intra-day and inter-day assays varied from 0.8% to 4.5%. The developed method is thus proven to be efficient and reliable for regular monitoring of trace estrogens in complex matrices such as milk samples.

After solid phase microextraction, performed by direct immersion of a 65 μm-polydimethylsiloxane–divinylbenzene fiber in diluted (1:100 with 0.2% formic acid - 30% sodium chloride) milk samples (18 °C for 20 min under stirring), a direct on-fiber silylation with N,O-bis (trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide) containing 1% trimethylchlorosilane (70 °C for 20 min) was performed prior to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. Since the target compounds were determined as aglycones, the hydrolytic removal of the aglycone from the glycosides was performed. The method permitted the determination of the target analytes in all the considered milk samples as well as the detection of some major amphipathic fats indicating that the approach could potentially be applied in the future for further applications, such as milk profiling.

Abstract
Carbonaceous nanomaterials (multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene, and graphene oxide (GO)) have attracted attention over the last decade as adsorbents suitable for the analysis of organic and inorganic pollutants. In the present paper we review methods of mycotoxin analysis that involve sample extraction with carbonaceous nanosorbents, reported from 2011 onwards. Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of magnetically modified MWCNTs and GO in mycotoxin analysis, which may enable sample isolation through magnetic separation, reduce the interaction of nanoparticles, and enhance the recovery of analytes. The papers covered in this review point to promising applications of functionalised carbonaceous nanosorbents in mycotoxin analysis. While GO based sorbents can be effective for the adsorption of relatively polar aflatoxins, MWCNTs with high specific surface area and reduced agglomeration achieved through modification with silica and magnetic particles are preferred for the extraction of less polar mycotoxins.

Abstract
An extremely sensitive enzyme sensor for detection of 17β-estradiol based on electropolymerized L-lysine molecules on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with critic acid@graphene (CA-GR) and cross-linked with laccase enzyme has been developed in this work. As the laccase immobilization, glutaraldehyde was chosen as cross-linker through the groups reactions. The novel enzyme sensor could recognize and determinate 17β-estradiol effectively. The morphology of the enzyme modified electrode was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron microscopy (SEM). The amino interaction between cross-linker and enzyme was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Under the optimal experimental conditions, good linear relationships were achieved in the range of 4 × 10-13 - 5.7 × 10-11 M and a limit of detection as low as 1.3 × 10-13 M. Moreover, the enzyme sensor exhibited good reproducibility, stability and high selectivity to 17β-estradiol. Excellent performance was showed in the human urine samples analysis, thus confirming great prospect for further application in clinic diagnosis and biological research.

Abstract
Xenoestrogens are widely diffused in the environment and in food, thus a large portion of human population worldwide is exposed to them. Among alimentary xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens (PhyEs) are increasingly being consumed because of their potential health benefits, although there are also important risks associated to their ingestion. Furthermore, other xenoestrogens that may be present in food are represented by other chemicals possessing estrogenic activities, that are commonly defined as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). EDCs pose a serious health concern since they may cause a wide range of health problems, starting from pre-birth till adult lifelong exposure. We herein provide an overview of the main classes of xenoestrogens, which are classified on the basis of their origin, their structures and their occurrence in the food chain. Furthermore, their either beneficial or toxic effects on human health are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Within this study, a new method enabling monitoring of various estrogenic substances potentially occurring in milk and dairy products was proposed. Groups of compounds fairly differing in physico-chemical properties and biological activity were analyzed: four natural estrogens, four synthetic estrogens, five mycoestrogens, and nine phytoestrogens. Since they may pass into milk mainly in glucuronated and sulfated forms, an enzymatic hydrolysis was involved prior to the extraction based on the QuEChERS methodology. For the purification of the organic extract, a dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) with sorbent C18 was applied. The final analysis was performed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Method recovery ranged from 70 to 120% with a relative standard deviation (RSD) value lower than 20% and limits of quantification (LOQs) in the range of 0.02-0.60 μg/L (0.2-6.0 μg/kg dry weight) and 0.02-0.90 μg/kg (0.2-6.0 μg/kg dry weight) for milk and yogurt, respectively. The new procedure was applied for the investigation of estrogenic compounds in 11 milk samples and 13 yogurt samples from a Czech retail market. Mainly phytoestrogens were found in the studied samples. The most abundant compounds were equol and enterolactone representing 40-90% of all estrogens. The total content of phytoestrogens (free and bound) was in the range of 149-3870 μg/kg dry weight. This amount is approximately 20 times higher compared to non-bound estrogens.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a known endocrine-disrupting compound (EDC) that has a structure similar to that of the hormone estrogen. Even low concentrations of BPA are able to bind estrogen receptors, thereby inducing severe diseases such as reproductive disorders, chronic diseases, and various types of cancer. Despite such serious effects, the use of BPA remains widespread. Therefore, monitoring of both dietary and nondietary exposure to BPA is important for human healthcare. Herein, we present a field-effect transistor (FET) sensor using aptamer-modified multichannel carbon nanofibers (MCNFs) to detect BPA. The MCNFs are fabricated via single-nozzle electrospinning of two immiscible polymer solutions followed by thermal treatment in an inert atmosphere. The MCNFs are then oxidized using a solution of HNO3 and H2SO4 to introduce carboxyl groups on the surface of the fibers. The carboxyl-functionalized MCNFs (CMCNFs) are immobilized on an amine-functionalized electrode substrate by forming a covalent bond, and amine-functionalized BPA-binding aptamers are modified in the same manner on the CMCNFs. The resulting FET sensors exhibit a high sensitivity, as well as specificity toward BPA at an unprecedentedly low concentration of 1 fM. Furthermore, these sensors are stable and could be reused for repeated assays.

Abstract
A simple, fast, and reproducible method for the simultaneous determination of natural estrogens and mycoestrogens (resorcylic acid lactones) in milk by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS) is described. The extraction was carried out by solid-phase extraction (SPE) using graphitized carbon black as solid sorbent. The use of carbon black allowed us to avoid any type of sample pretreatment, and the extraction was performed simply by diluting milk samples in water. Correlation coefficient values were obtained in the range between 0.9991 and 1, with good recoveries (67-107% at the lowest spiked level), repeatability (4.8-16.8%), and reproducibility (3.2-16.3%). Moreover, a very low matrix effect was observed for both estrogens and mycoestrogens. With respect to a previous method based on SPE with Oasis MAX cartridges, the one here described allowed us to detect all the analytes under investigation, at the lowest tested concentration level, including free estrogens (in particular estriol). Finally, the developed UHPLC/ESI-MS/MS method was applied to the analysis of some whole milk samples from different lactating animals (cow, goat, and donkey) as well as ultrahigh-temperature-treated cow milk and powder milk samples.

Abstract
In this study, a sensitive dual-label time-resolved reverse competitive chemiluminescent immunoassay was developed for simultaneous detection of chloramphenicol (CAP) and clenbuterol (CLE) in milk. The strategy was performed based on the distinction of the kinetic characteristics of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in chemiluminesecence (CL) systems and different orders of magnitude in HRP CL value for CAP and ALP CL value for CLE in the chemiluminescent immunoassay. Capture antibodies were covalently bound to the amine group functionalized chemiluminescent microtiter plate (MTP) for efficient binding of detection antibodies for the enzymes labeled CAP (HRP-CAP) and CLE (ALP-CLE). The CL signals were recorded at different time points by the automatic luminometers with significant distinction in the dynamic curves. When we considered the ALP CL value (about 10(5)) of CLE as background for HRP CL signal value (about 10(7)) of CAP, there was no interaction from ALP CL background of CLE and the differentiation of CAP and CLE can be easily achieved. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) values of CAP and CLE in milk samples were 0.00501 µg L(-1) and 0.0128 µg L(-1), with the ranges from 0.0003 µg L(-1) to 0.0912 µg L(-1) and from 0.00385 µg L(-1) to 0.125 µg L(-1), respectively. The developed method is more sensitive and of less duration than the commercial ELISA kits, suitable for simultaneous screening of CAP and CLE.
