Food Chem 2024; 459:140281. [PMID: 39047543 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
N-Nitrosamines (NAs) pose a threat to food safety due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. In this study, we developed and validated a QuEChERS-based LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous analysis of 11 NAs in 74 processed fish meat, processed meat, and salted fish products. Sample preparation was optimized by screening two versions of QuEChERS buffer, four extraction methods, and eight purification methods. The optimal analytical approach was validated for three product categories in terms of linearity, matrix effects, accuracy, and precision. Satisfactory precision and accuracy were demonstrated, with relative recoveries of 70-120% for the 11 NAs. The limits of detection for fish meat, processed meat, and salted fish products were 0.12-7.50, 0.12-4.14, and 0.10-7.81 ng·g-1, respectively. Among the 11 NAs, nine were detected in all 74 samples. This methodology could be applied to monitor NA levels to ensure the safety and quality of food products.

Abstract
Antibiotics and sedatives are used in freshwater fish culture and transportation, and residue in freshwater fish pose potential risks to human health. Therefore, a throughput method was developed to detect antibiotic and sedative residues in fish, simultaneously quantifying 68 antibiotics and 9 sedatives in freshwater fish using a modified QuEChERS extraction method and UPLC-MS/MS. Matrix-matched calibrations demonstrated good correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.995), with a recovery range of 66.2-118.5%. The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) were below 9.7% and 12.8%, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.08-1.46 μg/kg and 0.25-4.86 μg/kg, respectively. 68.8% of analytes had weak matrix effects, and 13.0% had moderate matrix effects. In addition, diazepam and many types of antibiotics were detected in30 freshwater fish. The validation parameters were in agreement with the acceptable criteria of the Codex guidelines. The method was effective in analyzing antibiotic and sedative residues in freshwater fish.

Abstract
An analytical method was developed for the screening of 172 veterinary drugs in traditional Chinese medicine Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The samples were pretreated by a modified QuEChERS method. A Zorbax Eclipse plus C18 column (1.8 μm, 3.0 × 150 mm2, Agilent) was used for the separation of analytes by gradient elution. All analytes were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with multiple reaction monitoring mode. Good linearity with R ≥ 0.99 was exhibited for all analytes within the respective range. The recoveries of all monitored analytes ranged from 55.4 to 127.6% at three spiked levels (limit of quantitation-LOQ, 2-fold LOQ, 10-fold LOQ), with relative standard deviations <17.8%. The estimated LOQ levels were 0.2-20 μg/kg. The application of this method provides a reference for the safety control of traditional Chinese medicines.

A comparison of the determination of multiple pesticide residues in fruits, vegetables, and edible fungi using gas chromatography combined with filtration purification and solid-phase extraction. RSC Adv 2024; 14:16898-16911. [PMID: 38799210 PMCID: PMC11123614 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07584b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
The multiplug filtration clean-up (m-PFC) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) pretreatment methods were employed to process 8 representative matrices in fruits, vegetables, and edible fungi, respectively. 37 pesticide residues were determined using gas chromatography equipped with ECD and FPD detectors. The measurement data were compared and analyzed following m-PFC purification and gas chromatography analysis, and both accuracy and precision met the (EU) 2021/808 requirements, achieving recovery rates for the 8 matrices ranging from 67.0% to 112.8% (averaging over 83.8% recovery), and RSDs between 0.2% and 15.2%. The 37 pesticides exhibited good linearity between 0.05 and 1.6 μg mL-1, and the matrix effect was found to be weaker compared to that of the Florisil solid-phase extraction method. The detection limits ranged from 0.0001 to 0.03 μg kg-1, with 31 pesticides showing lower detection limits compared to the SPE method. The application of this method to 150 real samples resulted in the detection of 17 pesticides across all samples. Fewer pigments were detected in m-PFC purified solutions compared to Florisil PR SPE when analyzed by liquid chromatography. m-PFC achieved more thorough adsorption of endogenous substances like pigments, reducing instrument contamination, utilizing less organic solvent, and simplifying the operation. This purification step offers clear advantages, allowing for the processing of larger sample batches in a short time. It can serve as a replacement for SPE methods like Florisi PR in batch detection of fruit and vegetable samples.

Abstract
β-Lactam is one of the widely used veterinary drugs, but simultaneous analytical methods for β-lactam on various animal foods have not been established. In this study, we aimed to detect 34 β-lactam antibiotics simultaneously in livestock samples (beef, pork, chicken, egg, and milk) by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Samples were extracted using phosphate buffer/acetonitrile or water/acetonitrile and then cleaned with 150 mg of C18 and 900 mg of MgSO4. The method showed acceptable recovery and repeatability of 66.1-119% and 1.5-26%, respectively. The method was employed to monitor 127 real samples from the domestic market to confirm its applicability, and no β-lactam residues were detected. It was also applied to other matrices (eel, flat fish, and shrimp) and showed acceptable recovery (62.1-120%) and repeatability (1.0-28%). The method is expected to improve the efficiency of monitoring veterinary drug residues in domestic livestock products and fishery foods.

Abstract
The development of different matrix adsorbents is a research focus in the multiresidue analysis of veterinary drugs in foods. In this study, a novel elastic matrix adsorbent based on a reduced graphene oxide-coated melamine sponge was prepared and applied in matrix purification for the simultaneous determination of 52 veterinary drugs in mutton by UPLC-MS/MS. Efficient and convenient matrix removal was achieved through simple soaking and squeezing. Good linearities with determination coefficients ≥0.999 and low matrix effects ≤±13% were obtained in the range of 10-500 μg·kg-1. The obtained recoveries ranged from 63.7% to 109.5% at three spiked levels (10, 50, and 100 μg·kg-1), with relative standard deviations ≤8.1%. Low LODs and LOQs were obtained in ranges of 0.02-2.0 μg·kg-1 and 0.05-5.0 μg·kg-1, respectively. Based on the comprehensive results, our developed method showed good applicability in the analysis of multiresidues in various foods.

Abstract
The misuse of growth-promoting drugs such as beta-2 agonists and steroids is a known problem in farming and sports competitions. Prior to the analysis of biological samples via liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) or gas chromatography (GC)-MS, sufficient sample preparation is required to reliably identify or determine the residues of drugs. In practice, broad screening methods are often used to save time and analyze as many compounds as possible. This review was conceptualized to analyze the literature from 2018 until October 2023 for sample preparation procedures applied to animal specimens before LC- or GC-MS analysis. The animals were either used in farming or sports. In the present review, solid phase extraction (SPE) was observed as the dominant sample clean-up technique for beta-2 agonists and steroids, followed by protein precipitation. For the extraction of beta-2 agonists, mixed-mode cation exchanger-based SPE phases were preferably applied, while for the steroids, various types of SPE materials were reported. Furthermore, dispersive SPE-based QuEChERs were utilized. Combinatory use of SPE and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was observed to cover further drug classes in addition to beta-2 agonists in broader screening methods.

Abstract
Highly sensitive and reliable detection of β-adrenergic agonists is especially necessary due to the illegal abuse of growth-promoting feed additives. Here, we develop a novel surface plasmon resonance/surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SPR/SERS) dual-mode plasmonic sensor based on core-satellite nanoassemblies for the highly sensitive and reliable detection of ractopamine (RAC). The addition of RAC results in the decomposition of core-satellite nanoassemblies and consequently changes the Rayleigh scattering color of dark-field microscopy (DFM) images and the Raman scattering intensity of SERS spectra. The excellent sensitivity, specificity, and uniformity of this strategy were confirmed by detecting RAC in various complex media in the farm-to-table chain, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.03 ng/mL in an aqueous solution. In particular, the convenient access to livestock sewage not only ensures animal welfare but also provides great convenience for the market regulation of β-agonists. The success of our on-site strategy only with a portable Raman device promises great application prospects for β-agonist detection.

Abstract
Food safety is a widespread global concern with the emergence of foodborne diseases. Thus, establishing accurate and sensitive detection methods of harmful contaminants in different food matrices is essential to address and prevent the associated health risks. Among various analytical tools, mass spectrometry (MS) can quantify multiple impurities simultaneously due to high resolution and accuracy and can achieve non-target profiling of unknown pollutants in food. Therefore, MS has been widely used for determination of hazardous contaminants [e.g., mycotoxin, pesticide and veterinary drug residues, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins, acrylamide, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and p-Phenylenediamine compounds (PPDs) in food samples]. This work summarizes MS applications in detecting harmful contaminants in food matrices, discusses advantages of MS for food safety study, and provides a perspective on future directions of MS development in food research. With the persistent occurrence of novel contaminants, MS will play a more and more critical role in food analysis.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoprobes show similar fluorescence properties to traditional organic dyes, but the addition of nanotechnology accurately controls the size, shape, chemical composition, and surface chemistry of the nanoprobes with unique characteristics and properties, such as bright luminescence, high photostability, and strong biocompatibility. For example, modifying aptamers or antibodies on a fluorescent nanoprobe provides high selectivity and specificity for different objects to be tested. Fluorescence intensity, life, and other parameters of targets can be changed by different sensing mechanisms based on the unique structural and optical characteristics of fluorescent nanoprobes. What's more, the detection of fluorescent nanoprobes is cost-saving, simple, and offers great advantages in rapid food detection. Sensing mechanisms of fluorescent nanoprobes were introduced in this paper, focusing on the application progress in pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, microbes, mycotoxins, and other substances in food safety detection in recent years. A brief outlook for future development was provided as well.

Abstract
Ractopamine (RAC) is universally known for improving lean meat percentage in livestock and thus is widely introduced as a feed additive. However, it is difficult to eliminate the RAC residue in animal tissues from the biological system and will inevitably harm human health. Hence, detecting RAC molecules in biological samples is extremely significant. Herein, a novel strategy of supramolecular recognition-enhanced electrochemical sensing is presented. This platform was constructed by coupling β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs)-functionalized three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (3D-rGO) to form a nanocomposite (3D-rGO/Pd/β-CD), which was further used to modify a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for RAC detection. Benefiting from the attractive electrical conductivity and catalytic activity of 3D-rGO/Pd, as well as the unique small-molecule-recognition ability of β-CD demonstrated by 1H NMR spectrum, which revealed the 1 : 2 binding mode of RAC with β-CD, increased peak current signals of RAC were observed in the cyclic voltammetry (CV) test. Under optimized conditions, the wide linear concentration range spanned 1-95 μM, along with a relatively low detection limit of 0.12 μM (S/N = 3), as evidenced by the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) approach. The platform also exhibited satisfactory stability and fine reproducibility, as well as high selectivity and good anti-interference capability. Moreover, this as-obtained sensor was efficiently applied in pork samples with a high recovery rate (96.44-103.99%), which provides a promising view of its electrochemical biosensing ability in practical applications.

Abstract
This work aimed to develop an integrated high-throughput screening and quantification for multi-class veterinary drug residues by HPLC-Q-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. A qualitative screening mass database of 171 veterinary drugs was created using full scanning mode, which improved the screening accuracy and scope. Beef and chicken samples were chosen to validate the quantification method at three spiked concentration levels. The quantification method of 146 veterinary drug residues was developed. After enzymatic hydrolysis, beef and chicken samples were treated using optimized QuEChERS. The calibration curves showed good linearities with correlation coefficients of 0.9921-0.9994. The recovery rates were within 52.1-138.2 % with relative standard deviations 0.4-17.7 %. The limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.15-3.03 μg/kg and 0.5-10 μg/kg, respectively. The proposed method was demonstrated to be reliable for the simultaneous analysis of multi-class veterinary drugs. It is of significance to expand the screening scope and quantitative analysis efficiency.

Abstract
Ractopamine (RAC) is a synthetic phenethanolamine, β–adrenergic agonist used as a feed additive to develop leanness and increase feed conversion efficiency in different farm animals. While RAC has been authorized as a feed additive for pigs and cattle in a limited number of countries, a great majority of jurisdictions, including the European Union (EU), China, Russia, and Taiwan, have banned its use on safety grounds. RAC has been under long scientific and political discussion as a controversial antibiotic as a feed additive. Here, we will present significant information on RAC regarding its application, detection methods, conflicts, and legal divisions that play a major role in controversial deadlock and why this issue warrants the attention of scientists, agriculturists, environmentalists, and health advocates. In this review, we highlight the potential toxicities of RAC on aquatic animals to emphasize scientific evidence and reports on the potentially harmful effects of RAC on the aquatic environment and human health.
