Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for determining heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) was modified so that it can be used to quantitate the following 5 HAAs in complex process flavors: 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ); 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MelQ); 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MelQx); 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (diMelQx); and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). By changing the initial extraction procedure, PhIP recovery improved from 35 to 87%. An additional cleanup step using ion-exchange solid-phase extraction reduced the levels of interfering components, thus allowing determination of low levels of the amines. Recoveries from process flavors spiked at 25 ppb averaged 83–90%.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of metronidazole (MNZ), ronidazole (RNZ), dimetridazole (DMZ), and 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (DMZOH) in swine tissue. After extraction with ethyl acetate and evaporation, the nitroimidazoles were redissolved in hydrochloric acid. Hexane was used in the liquid–liquid extraction to remove fat. An Oasis® HLB solid-phase extraction was performed after neutralization of the acidic extract. The limits of detection were 1.0–2.0 μg/kg for DMZOH, MNZ, RNZ, and DMZ in muscle and liver. Average recoveries ranged from 80.1 to 83.9% in muscle fortified at 10, 20, and 50 μg/kg; average re-coveries in liver ranged from 78.9 to 82.3%. The procedure provides a simple and sensitive method for monitoring DMZOH, MNZ, RNZ, and DMZ residues in swine tissues.
