Development and establishment of a QuEChERS-based extraction method for determining tembotrione and its metabolite AE 1417268 in corn, corn oil and certain animal-origin foods by HPLC-MS/MS
2020
In this study, we established a rapid and sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method for quantitative determination of tembotrione and its metabolite AE 1417268 (M5) in corn, corn oil, beef, pork, chicken, and eggs. Both analytes eluted from a C18 column within 6 min. The electrospray ionisation–positive mode was used for tembotrione, whereas the negative mode was used for M5. Acetonitrile was the extractant for all samples, and the addition of 2 g NaCl to each homogenised sample facilitated the extraction of the analytes into acetonitrile. The extracted analytes were further purified by the addition of 50 mg of C18 sorbent (25 mg GCB was also added to corn samples) for subsequent HPLC-MS/MS analysis. Satisfactory calibration-curve linearities (R² ≥ 0.997) were obtained for the two analytes at concentrations of 1–500 μg/L. Mean recoveries in different matrices ranged from 73.7% to 110.4%, whereas intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations were <15% for all concentrations of spiked analytes. The limit of quantification was 2 μg/kg for each analyte in all matrices. In food samples obtained from markets, residual tembotrione and M5 were all below the limits of quantification. These results confirm that the method is suitable for the routine monitoring of residual tembotrione and M5 in a variety of food matrices.
