Abstract:

【Objective】 This study was aimed to establish an approach to determine the content of five NPAHs (including 1-nitronaphthalene, 2-nitrofluorene, 3-nitrofluoranthene, 1-nitropyrene and 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene) in roasted meat based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) column and high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD).【Method】 1 g vacuum freeze-dried roasted meat sample was extracted by dichloromethane for ultrasonic extraction, and the filtrate was collected. Both the extraction and filtration processes were repeated three times. Then, the filtrate was dried by nitrogen and dissolved in 3 mL n-hexane. After that, the extract was loaded onto PAHs SPE column which was previously activated by dichloromethane and n-hexane. After loading, the sample tube was rinsed by n-hexane and loaded as well. The SPE column was washed by n-hexane and eluted by dichloromethane. The eluent was dried by nitrogen, and the residue was dissolved in acetonitrile to obtain NPAHs solution. Acidified methanol and iron powder were added to the NPAHs solution and heated in water bath with magnetic stirring for 40 min. After centrifugation and filtration, 20 μL sample was tested by HPLC-FLD at 40℃ by using Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse PAH analysis column. In the gradient elution system, water and acetonitrile were used as the mobile phases.【Result】 The result showed that five NPAHs were linear with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9940. Specifically, the detection limits (LOD) were within 0.12-2.17 μg·kg-1, and the quantification limits (LOQ) were within 0.38-7.23 μg·kg -1. The average recoveries and the precision were within 53.16%-129.64% and 1.91%-30.73%, respectively. Furthermore, five kinds of typical Chinese roasted meat products were tested by this method, and the content of five NPAHs in all roasted meat samples were between 50.19-82.36 μg·kg -1. Among them, the content of 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene was the highest, about 31.01-35.89 μg·kg-1, followed by 3-nitrofluoranthene, and the content was within the range of 9.99-23.06 μg·kg -1. 【Conclusion】 SPE column combined with HPLC-FLD was a suitable method to analyze NPAHs in roasted meat products; and NPAHs were widely contained in Chinese roasted meat products.
