Determination of zearalenone and its metabolites in urine and tissue samples of cow and pig by LC-MS/MS
Tóm tắt
For the sensitive and selective determination of zeranol, taleranol, α-zearalenol, β-zearalenol and zearalenone in animal urine and tissue a LC-MS/MS method has been developed. Sample preparation included extraction of meat samples and enzymatic digest of urine samples followed by solid-phase extraction with RP-18 columns for sample clean-up. Mass spectrometric determination was carried out with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation interface (APCI) in the multi-reaction monitoring mode (MRM). Using the negative ion mode detection limits between 0.1 and 0.5 ppb and determination limits between 0.5 and 1 ppb could be achieved. With zearalanone as internal standard, a linear range between 0.5 (1.0) and 100 ppb in urine samples (cow; pig) and between 1 and 100 ppb in meat samples (cow, calf, pig) could be established. Depending on the biological matrix and analyte standard deviations were below 8.2 %, with recovery rates between 86 and 102 % in spiked samples. The applicability of the method was demonstrated via several contaminated cow and pig urine samples.
