UNSTRUCTURED The aim of this study was to monitor the production of seven biogenic amines (Cadaverine - CAD, Putrescine - PUT, Spermine - SPE, Spermidine - SPD, Histamine - HIS, Tyramine - TYR and Tryptamine - TRY) by 156 selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from Serbian traditionally fermented sausages and cheeses. The analytical method for the determination of biogenic amines after 24 hour incubation LAB in MRS and M17 broth using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a modified procedure for the determination of biogenic amines in fish. The results on biogenic amine production by 156 LAB strains showed very low concentrations which are considered non-significant from both technological and safety point of view. The measured concentrations of PUT, CAD, TRY and SPD (except in 8 LAB strains) were below the detection limit of the analytical method (0.1 mg/L), whereas those of HIS, TYR and SPE were above the limit of detection, but still not significant. TYR was the only amine whose measured concentration ranged from 13.93 mg/L to 69.25 mg/L. Most of the tested LAB strains produced TYR in broth below 30 mg/L with the exception of Enterococcus faecalis strains that produced TYR at concentrations ranging between 48.56 − 69.25 mg/L, and three Enterococcus faecium strains with 38.45 − 55.56 mg/L of TYR production.

A quick, sensitive, and reproducible analytical method for the determination of 77 multiclass pesticides and their metabolites in Capsicum and tomato by gas and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was standardized and validated. The limit of detection of 0.19 to 10.91 and limit of quantification of 0.63 to 36.34 µg·kg−1 for Capsicum and 0.10 to 9.55 µg·kg−1 (LOD) and 0.35 to 33.43 µg·kg−1 (LOQ) for tomato. The method involves extraction of sample with acetonitrile, purification by dispersive solid phase extraction using primary secondary amine and graphitized carbon black. The recoveries of all pesticides were in the range of 75 to 110% with a relative standard deviation of less than 20%. Similarly, the method precision was evaluated interms of repeatability (RSDr) and reproducibility (RSDwR) by spiking of mixed pesticides standards at 100 µg·kg−1 recorded anRSD of less than 20%. The matrix effect was acceptable and no significant variation was observed in both the matrices except for few pesticides. The estimated measurement uncertainty found acceptable for all the pesticides. This method found suitable for analysis of vegetable samples drawn from market and farm gates.

Abstract A novel analytical method, based on high-performance liquid chromatography with a UV (HPLC-UV) detection system for the sensitive detection of a genotoxic impurity (GTI) 5-amino-2-chloropyridine (5A2Cl) in a model active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) tenoxicam (TNX), has been developed and validated. The HPLC-UV method was used for the determination of GTI 5A2Cl in API TNX. The compounds were separated using a mobile phase composed of water (pH 3 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid): MeOH, (50:50: v/v) on a C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm i.d., 2.7 μm) at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min−1. Detection was carried out in the 254 nm wavelength. Column temperature was maintained at 40°C during the analyses and 10 μL volume was injected into the HPLC-UV system. The method was validated in the range of 1–40 μg mL−1. The obtained calibration curves for the GTI compound was found linear with equation, y = 40766x − 1125,6 (R2 = 0.999). The developed analytical method toward the target compounds was accurate, and the achieved limit of detection and limit of quantification values for the target compound 5A2Cl were 0.015 and 0.048 μg mL−1, respectively. The recovery values were calculated and found to be between 98.80 and 100.03%. The developed RP-HPLC-UV analytical method in this research is accurate, precise, rapid, simple and appropriate for the sensitive analysis of target GTI 5A2Cl in model API TNX.

Abstract A simple and rapid method was developed for the determination of 20 antibiotics (sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and flumequine) in honey by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The proposed method is sensitive (limit of detection 0.5 to 10 ppb for the various antibiotics) and selective. A hydrolysis step ensures the liberation of sugar-bound sulfonamides. The approach has been used to analyze some 300 honey samples. A number of them were found to have exceeded the Swiss limit of 50 ppb.

Abstract This study evaluated hair samples from 28 subjects who had measurable ketamine levels among the samples requested from 2016 to 2017 into Seoul Institute National Forensic Service in Korea. Ketamine in the hair was extracted by using a solution of 1% hydrochloric acid in methanol for 16 h. Extracts were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). LC-MS-MS method was validated by determining the limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), linearity, intra- and inter-accuracy, precision, and matrix effects. In 59 ketamine-positive hair or hair segments from 28 ketamine abusers, the ketamine concentration was found to be in the range of 0.011-335.8 ng/mg (mean, 13.6; median, 1.8), and the norketamine concentration was found to be in the range of 0.001-35.7 ng/mg (mean, 7.5; median, 0.44). The ratio of norketamine to ketamine concentration in hair was in the range of 0.01-1.46 (mean, 0.34; median, 0.26). The distribution of ketamine concentration in hair samples was as follows: 0.01-0.1 ng/mg in 11 samples (18.6%), 0.1-5 ng/mg in 33 samples (55.9%), 5-10 ng/mg in 4 samples (6.8%), 10-15 ng/mg in 2 samples (3.4%), 15-20 ng/mg in 4 samples (6.8%), 40-45 ng/mg in 2 samples (3.4%), 45-50 ng/mg in 1 samples 1.7%) and >100 ng/mg in only 2 samples (3.4%). In the hair of ketamine-abusers, 26 of 28 subjects had simultaneously ketamine with detectable levels of other controlled drugs, including MDMA (n=9), MA (n=3), MDMA/MA (n=3), MDMA/PMA (n=3), MDMA/PMA/MA (n=2), cocaine (n=1), and other drugs (n=5, propofol, zolpidem or benzodiazepines). In most of the hair samples were detected ketamine with other controlled drugs: MDMA (60.7%), MA (28.6%), PMA(17.9%), zolpidem (17.9%), and propofol (14.3%) in the frequency of abuse. In conclusion, most of the ketamine-abusers (92.9%) would be polydrug abusers, who were concomitantly abusing other controlled substances.

In this work, liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for screening and confirmation of 64 illicit compounds in dietary supplements. The target compounds were illegally used pharmaceutical drugs, prohibited compounds, and not authorized ingredients for different therapeutics (sexual enhancement, weight loss, muscular strengthening, and relaxing products). The validation procedure was performed to evaluate selectivity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, and precision according to the Association of Official Analytical Chemists guidelines. The linearity was >0.98 in the range of 0.5–200 µg L−1. The LOQs were in the range 1–10 µg kg−1 for all target compounds. The accuracy (expressed as recovery) was 78.5–114%. The precision (expressed as the relative standard deviation) was below 9.15%. The developed method was applied for the determination of illicit compounds in dietary supplements collected from websites. As a result, the total detection rate was 13.5% (27 samples detected in 200 samples). The concentrations of detected samples ranged from 0.51 to 226 mg g−1. The proposed methodology is suitable for monitoring the adulteration of illicit compounds in dietary supplements.

Triallate residues were determined in forage samples of both alfalfa and companion crops of wheat and barley which had been treated with preplant incorporations of triallate and grown either under irrigation or dryland conditions. All the samples, collected at the earliest date that the crop would be cut for forage, contained less than 20 ppb triallate, the limit of detection of the analytical method.
