Abstract A simple fluorometric method has been developed to determine 1,2-unsaturated aldehydes in autooxidized lipids. 1,2- Unsaturated aldehydes were allowed to react with 2,4-diamlnotoluene in acidic condition and the products, 7-amlno-6- methylqulnoline derivatives, were determined by a fluorometric procedure at 394 nm (excitation wavelength) and 494 nm (emission wavelength). Finally, 1902.9, 1738.8, and 2149.2 μg/g of 1,2-unsaturated aldehydes as 2-propenal were detected in 20-h autooxidized methyl oleate, methyl llnoleate, and methyl llnolenate, which contained 98.5, 223.2, and 355.6 μg/g, respectively, of thlobarblturlc acid reactive substances as malondialdehyde. In a preliminary liquid chromatographic LC determination of 2-propenal In autooxidized lipids, 29, 20, and 57 μg/g, respectively, of 2- propenal were detected In 20-h autooxidized methyl oleate, methyl llnoleate and methyl llnolenate. The 2-propenal can be detected as 7-amlno-6-methylqulnoline by using LC-fluorometrlc procedure at levels of 100 pg.

Abstract An enzymic, flurometric method is described for determination of triglycerides (and glycerol) in blood serum, a modification of the method of Bucolo and David [Clin. Chem. 19, 476 (1973)]. Commercially available reagent kits are used. The rate of disappearance of NADH fluorescence at 460 nm (excitation wavelength, 365 nm) is monitored and related to serum triglyceride concentration, corrected for the content of free glycerol. We compared the results obtained fluorometrically to the ultraviolet spectrophotometric Boehringer Neutral Fat method used at Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen. Instrument response and concentration were linearly related in the range 0.27 to 2.7 mmol of triglycerides per liter of serum with the fluorometric method. The CV was 0.9% for the fluorometric method, 3.7% for the spectrophotometric procedure. The fluorometric method requires less reagents, time, and calculations than does the spectrophotometric method.

A simple and rapid fluorometric method for determining benzo (a) pyrene in foods was developed. Benzo (a) pyrene is extracted from foods with n-hexane:ether mixture (4:1), purified through a column of activated alumina and determined fluorometrically. An excitation wavelength of 295 nm and emission wavelength of 403 nm were used for calculating concentrations of benzo (a) pyrene. The peak height at 403 nm and baseline between 392 and 418 nm were employed to derive a standard curve for quantitating benzo (a) pyrene. A calibration curve for between 0.04 – 4 ng/ml of benzo (a) pyrene was used. Recoveries of benzo (a) pyrene from 14 kinds of food spiked at levels of 20 and 2ppb were within the range of 79.5 – 93.8% and 50.0 – 80.6%, respectively. The entire procedure takes only one hour with the detection limit being 0.1 ppb. Benzo (a) pyrene detected was reconfirmed by thin-layer chromatography.

Abstract The performance characteristics of a liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of decoquinate (DEC) in supplements, premixes, and complete animal feeds at medicating and trace levels were collaboratively studied. DEC is extracted from ground feed samples with 1 calcium chloridemethanol solution using mechanical agitation for 90 min. After centrifugation for 5 min and dilution (if necessary), an aliquot of the extract is diluted with water. The diluted extracts are filtered and analyzed by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection. Suspect positive trace-level samples are confirmed by using an alternate excitation wavelength. Fourteen test samples of medicated feeds, supplement, and medicated premix, along with 8 test samples for trace-level analysis, were sent to 13 collaborators (one in Canada, 4 in Europe, and 8 in the United States). Test samples were analyzed as blind duplicates. Acceptable results were received from 12 laboratories for the medicated test samples and from 13 laboratories for the trace-level samples. Repeatability relative standard deviation estimates ranged from 1.3 to 5.6. Reproducibility relative standard deviations estimates ranged from 2.8 to 6.1, and HorRat values ranged from 0.22 to 0.74.

Abstract We evaluated the usefulness of a fluorometric method for determining serum retinol (Futterman et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 1975;14:125-30) in which fluorescence (excitation 335 nm; emission 460 nm) of retinol is directly measured in unextracted, diluted serum. Using serum from 466 individual donors, we compared values so obtained with those by a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method. The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.74. When we compared fluorometric retinol values with retinol-binding protein values for the 466 samples, r was 0.71. About 1% of the 466 samples had markedly higher values by fluorometry than by chromatography, the result of positive interferences. For two serum pools, we obtained CVs of 1.58% (n = 57) and 1.79% (n = 57) in long-term precision studies lasting 60 days. Although the fluorometric method of Futterman et al. has not been widely adopted, we find that it is simple to perform and that results compare favorably with the chromatographic method in precision and accuracy. It is unique among commonly used serum retinol methods in that the serum need not be extracted with organic solvents.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for the determination of zearalenone and zearalenol in grains and mixed animal feeds. Samples are extracted with chloroform and purified by a baseacid liquid-liquid partition. Zearalenone and zearalenol are separated by reverse phase LC and determined by fluorescence detection, excitation wavelength 236 nm with a 418 nm cutoff filter. The method was applied to the determination of zearalenone and zearalenol in 395 survey samples of corn, oats, barley, sorghum, silage, and finished feeds. The limit of detection is 10 ng/g for both toxins. The range of naturally occurring toxins found was 10-4000 ng/g. Average recoveries were 84% for zearalenone and 69% for zearalenol. Coefficients of variation were 24.6% for zearalenone and 30.8% for zearalenol for crop year 1980, and 28.3% for zearalenone and 22.0% for zearalenol for crop year 1981.

Abstract A method is presented for the liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of ergotamine tartrate in tablets that is applicable even in the presence of other ingredients such as phenobarbital, belladonna alkaloids, and caffeine. The sample is transferred to a volumetric flask, a small volume of formic acid is added to dissolve and stabilize the ergotamine, and the solution is diluted to volume with methanol. The solution is mixed and filtered through paper. The LC system consists of a Rheodyne injector fitted with a 20 μL loop and a C,18 reverse phase column; the mobile phase is acetonitrile-water-triethylamine (700 + 300 + 0.5). Ergotamine tartrate is determined fluorometrically at an excitation wavelength of 250 nm and an emission wavelength of 430 nm. Recovery studies were conducted at the 0.3 and 1.0 mg levels. Average recoveries were 99.6 and 100.8%, respectively; relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.08 and 2.21%, respectively. Some commercial preparations containing ergotamine tartrate in combination with other ingredients were also analyzed. The RSDs for 5 determinations of each of 2 ground composites were 0.09 and 0.34%.

Abstract A method is described for the gas-liquid chromatographic determination of traces of selenium in marine biological materials. The method is based on the reaction of Se(IV) with bromo- and chloro-substituted 1,2-diaminobenzenes. The benzoselenadiazoles so formed are sensitive to electron capture detection. The sample is digested in a nitric-perchloric acid mixture and selenium is reduced to the IV oxidation state. Different aliquots of the digest solution are reacted with either 4-bromo- or 4-chloro-l,2-diaminobenzene to quantitatively form the corresponding 2,1,3-benzoseIenadiazole. Recovery of added selenite to a fish meal sample was 95% for the bromo derivative and 101% for the chloro derivative. Different portions of a well mixed fish meal sample were analyzed in independent laboratories by the fluorometric method and by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (hydride generation). The following mean values (μg/g) were found: present method 1.89, fluorometric method 1.91, atomic absorption method 2.1. The lower limit of detection for the method described was 13 ng, using the bromo derivative, and 27 ng, using the chloro derivative.

Abstract A sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic (LC) assay was developed to determine the concentration of pyrimethamine in animal tissue and egg by fluorescent derivative. Animal samples were extracted with acetonitrile, centrifuged, and purified by hexane. Fluorescent derivatization was performed by reacting pyrimethamine with chloroacetaldehyde and subjected to LC with fluorescence detection (excitation wavelength 300 nm, emission wavelength 420 nm). The limit of detection was 10 ng/g (10 ppb) and the standard calibration curve was linear in the range of 1–100 ppb (0.01–1 ng/10 μL). Recoveries from samples fortified at levels of 0.1 and 1 ppm (μg/g) were 61.0–77.4 and 65.5–81.2%, respectively. The method was applied to the monitoring of marketed samples. Pyrimethamine was not determined in any of the 70 samples: 20 swine muscle; 20 chicken muscle; 10 chicken liver; and 20 egg.
