Abstract The performance of 4 purification methods for the analysis of patulin in apple juice was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Samples were spiked with patulin at 10, 20, 50, 100, and 150 ppb (ng/mL) and extracted by one of 4 methods (3 solid-phase extraction and one liquidliquid extraction), and then analyzed by HPLCUV under the same isocratic conditions. The methods were validated for recovery, linearity, and precision at high and low concentrations. Recoveries were all >70% for spiking range 10-150 ppb. The relative standard deviation for repeatability was found to meet European Union Directive requirements. In addition, all the methods showed baseline separation from hydroxymethylfurfural.

In this study, we used quantitative high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with an ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) and solid phase extraction (SPE) to determine the levels of four phenylethanoid glycosides and five triterpene acids in Liuwei Dihuang capsules (LDCs). LDCs were methanol-extracted and purified using a 500 mg/6 mL silica-based C18 SPE cartridge. Two elutions were analyzed on a ChromCore C18 column under two HPLC conditions. To improve the pretreatment clean-up, an array of silica- and polymer-based SPE cartridges were compared. Both wash and elution steps were also optimized to achieve the highest removal of impurities. Under optimal chromatographic conditions, good linearity was achieved for all compounds (correlation coefficient of r ≥ 0.999), with a quantification limit ranging from 0.0076 to 0.418 μg/mL. The method had satisfactory efficiency and reproducibility with recovery rates ranging from 91.6 to 99.3% with a relative standard deviation below 1.5%. Taken together, this demonstrated SPE as a suitable extension of HPLC-UV for the determination of phenylethanoid glycosides and triterpene acids in complex LDCs.

Summary The modern apple production involves the use of large amounts of pesticides that can be found in processed products such as apple juice. Harmful effects of pesticide residues on humans, especially children, are well known, hence the content of pesticide residues in fruit, vegetables and their juices should be controlled. This study presents an application of a new, relatively simple and reliable analytical method for qualitative and quantitative determination of three organophosphorus and one organonitrogen pesticide residues in apple juices. The analysis utilizes reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) followed by UV diode array detection. Prior to HPLC analysis, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used for analytes concentration and sample clean-up. Specificity, selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy and limit of quantification (LOQ) were examined to assess the validity of the developed method. The method had satisfactory values of multiple correlation coefficients for calibration curves (R2 ≥ 0.95 ). The precision was evaluated for the retention times and peak areas, and the estimated values for relative standard deviations (RSD) were 0.05 % - 0.18 % and 0.09 % - 0.62 %, respectively, which indicated an excellent precision of the proposed method. Under the established conditions, the recovery of analytes was 93.80 % - 119.41 %, with relative standard deviations below 0.56 %. This method was successfully applied for determination of some organophosphorus and organonitrogen pesticide residues in apple juices which were taken from Macedonian markets. The achieved values for LOQs were low enough compared to the MRLs of the investigated pesticides in apple according to the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. Detectable residues of the examined pesticides were not found in the analyzed samples.

The use of fully automated online solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with sequential injection analysis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and electrochemical detection (EC) for the separation and determination of sulfonamides has been developed. A homemade microcolumn SPE system coupled with sequential injection analysis (SIA) was used to automate the sample cleanup and extraction of sulfonamides. The optimal flow rate of sample loading and elution was found to be 10 μL/s, and optimal elution time of zone was 20–24 s. Under the optimal conditions, a linear relationship between peak area and sulfonamide concentrations was obtained in the range of 0.01–8.0 μg mL−1. Detection limits for seven sulfonamides were between 1.2 ng mL−1and 11.2 ng mL−1. The proposed method has been applied for the determination of sulfonamides in shrimp. Recoveries in the range of 84–107% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 6.5% for intraday and 13% for inter-day were received for three concentration levels of spiking. The results showed that the present method was simple, rapid, accurate and highly sensitive for the determination of sulfonamides.

A new and hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) selective for olaquindox was prepared by bulk polymerisation using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. The synthesised polymer was characterised by Fourier-transform infrared and static adsorption experiments. Results showed that the MIP had good recognition and selective ability for olaquindox. A novel method based on molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed for the separation and determination of trace olaquindox in feed samples. Under selected experimental conditions, the detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) was 42.2 ng/g, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for five replicate extractions of 50 µg/l olaquindox was 4.9%. The method provided high recoveries ranging from 89.8% to 93.1% at three spiked levels with < 5% RSDs. This method was successfully applied for the analysis of olaquindox in feed.

The determination of polyphenols by spectrophotometric detection is complicated due to their low concentrations in beer. The beer samples have to be pre-concentrated before using the spectrophotometric detection for their quantification. An analytical method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and followed by high performance liquid chromatographic separation with diode-array detection is used for the determination of free gallic, protocatechuic, caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic and salicylic acids, of (+)-catechin, (–)-epicatechin, and quercetin. These phenolic compounds participate in colloidal and sensory stability of beer. Six different SPE cartridges were tested and three different types of elution with the most appropriate solvents (acetonitrile, acetone and methanol) were used. The performance of the HPLC method was assessed by the evaluation of parameters such as absolute recovery, relative standard deviation (RSD – lower than 10%), the limit of quantification (LOQ), and the limit of detection (LOD). The polyphenol content in various types of Czech beer is presented.
