Glycoalkaloids (GAs) occur naturally in potatoes and are toxic to humans and animals. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of a solution-phase immunoassay coupled to capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) detection for the determination of total glycoalkaloids in potatoes. The immunoassay was based on a competition between potato glycoalkaloids and fluorescently labeled solanidine. Reaction products were separated in the capillary zone electrophoresis mode. A calibration curve of signal vs log[GA] was linear from 50 to 400 nM. The CV for duplicate and day-to-day analyses averaged 5.7% and 12%, respectively. Spike recoveries ranged from 85 to 97% for spike levels ranging from 43 to 170 microgram/g fresh potato. Potato samples with GA concentrations ranging from <40 to > 200 microgram/g were successfully analyzed, indicating that immuno-CE-LIF is a rapid alternative to traditional ELISA and HPLC methods.
