Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of analytical detection technology, and particularly relates to a detection method of zearalanol in meat samples. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a banned growth promoter of beta-receptor agonist, zearalanol is prone to be illegally used and then to be left in pork, and long-term intake of which can interfere with the endocrine system of human body and harm health.

[0003] Although traditional detection methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are highly accurate, they are expensive and complicated to operate, and are difficult to meet the demand of on-site rapid screening. Magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction (MDSPE) can significantly simplify the sample pretreatment process and reduce matrix interference due to the high adsorption efficiency and rapid separation characteristics of magnetic materials. The colloidal gold immunochromatography technology (GICA) has the advantages of simple operation, visual interpretation and rapid detection. The combination of the two can not only realize efficient enrichment and purification of zearalanol in complex matrix, but also meet the demand of on-site detection, and provide a technical solution with sensitivity and convenience for pork quality and safety monitoring.

[0004] Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved to develop a detection method of zearalanol in meat samples based on magnetic solid phase extraction-colloidal gold immunochromatography. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application innovatively combines magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction technology with colloidal gold immunochromatography test strips suitable for dairy products, and successfully establishes a detection method of zearalanol in meat samples, which comprises: pretreating the meat sample by magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction method, and then detecting zearalanol by immunochromatography technology; the magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction method uses HLB magnetic nanomaterial as a functional adsorbent.

[0006] By screening HLB magnetic nanomaterial as a functional adsorbent, the present application can combine the high separation capacity of magnetic dispersive solid phase extraction and the rapid and sensitive characteristics of colloidal gold immunochromatography technology, and realize rapid detection of zearalanol in meat samples.

[0007] Preferably, the HLB magnetic nanomaterial is a polystyrene matrix magnetic nanomaterial.

[0008] Preferably, the pretreatment step comprises: mixing the meat sample with acetonitrile and centrifuging, taking the supernatant and mixing with activated HLB magnetic nanomaterial, using a magnet to magnetically attract the HLB magnetic nanomaterial, collecting the remaining liquid, and using nitrogen blowing to redissolve for immunochromatography technology to detect zearalanol.

[0009] The present application finds that the detection limit of the zearalanol colloidal gold test strip for milk and dairy products in raw milk, milk and milk powder is 1 μg / kg, which can meet the experimental requirements, but is not suitable for pork matrix, therefore, through a large number of combination and optimization of pretreatment conditions, it is found that the colloidal gold immunochromatographic rapid detection method is suitable for pork matrix after pretreatment by the method of reverse magnetic dispersion solid phase extraction using HLB magnetic nanomaterial, and the accurate detection of zearalanol is realized.

[0010] The present application adopts reverse magnetic dispersion solid phase extraction: after extracting protein from the sample, only the sample loading step is needed, without the steps of sample loading, elution and elution, so that the sample pretreatment time can be shortened. The traditional solid phase extraction (SPE) operation process includes several steps of activation, sample loading, elution and elution, which is similar to the traditional SPE. The magnetic dispersion solid phase extraction (MDSPE) improves the solid phase particle extraction agent on the basis of the SPE, and realizes the dispersion extraction by migrating inert magnetic core in each SPE particle. Both the SPE and the MDSPE realize the dispersion and extraction of the target compound by using the different interaction mechanisms between the filler and the target compound and impurities. According to the specific adsorption and elution process, the positive and reverse solid phase extraction are divided according to the different use modes. In the process of the MDSPE, the magnetic adsorbent is added to the solution or suspension of the sample, the target compound is adsorbed to the surface of the dispersed magnetic adsorbent by using a strong magnet in a few seconds or tens of seconds, the target analyte is migrated together with the adsorbent by the external magnetic field, and finally the target analyte is eluted by using a suitable solvent. The reverse solid phase extraction only needs to be activated and loaded, most of the impurities and adsorbents are loaded at the same time, the target analyte is eluted with the solution, and finally the sample is detected by using the test strip after nitrogen blowing and enrichment.

[0011] Preferably, the mass-volume ratio of the meat sample to acetonitrile is 1 g: (2.5-3.5) mL. Preferably, the centrifugal speed is above 12000 r / min, and preferably the centrifugal time is above 10 min.

[0012] Preferably, the activation is to activate the HLB magnetic nanomaterial by using methanol and water in sequence. Preferably, 1 mL of methanol or water is added to activate every 10 mg of HLB magnetic nanomaterial.

[0013] Preferably, the nitrogen blowing is carried out in a water bath at 45-55 DEG C.

[0014] Under the above pretreatment conditions, the interfering impurities can be removed to the greatest extent, the extraction efficiency is high, the target compound can be separated and enriched from the complex matrix, and the subsequent high sensitivity and high specificity detection by using the colloidal gold immunochromatographic technology is facilitated.

[0015] Preferably, the immunochromatography technique is a colloidal gold immunochromatography technique.

[0016] Preferably, the colloidal gold immunochromatography test paper is used to detect zearalanol.

[0017] Further, the present application provides the use of the detection method in detecting zearalanol in meat samples.

[0018] Preferably, the meat sample includes but is not limited to pork and the like.

[0019] The detection method of the present application has the advantages of simple operation, rapidness, accuracy, sensitivity and the like.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: The detection method of the present application has good accuracy, sensitivity (detection limit of 5 μg / kg) and specificity (no cross-reaction with common antibiotics), and can meet the demand for rapid detection of zearalanol in meat samples. Moreover, the method of the present application is simple to operate, and does not require professional detection equipment. Ordinary law enforcement personnel or food supervision personnel can operate it after simple training, and has a broad application prospect.

[0021] In actual application scenarios, when cracking food and drug crime, the public security organ often needs to quickly determine whether the food contains prohibited drugs on the spot. The detection method of the present application can help the police to quickly detect meat samples in food production and processing dens, farmers' markets and other places, timely lock criminal evidence, and improve the efficiency of cracking crime. For the market supervision and management department, in daily law enforcement inspection, meat products can be quickly sampled, and products with zearalanol added in violation can be timely found, so as to protect the rights and interests of consumers. In terms of food safety protection, whether it is the self-checking link of food enterprises or the daily monitoring of grass-roots food safety detection stations, the detection method of the present application can provide convenient and efficient detection means, provide strong support for building a strict food safety defense line, and effectively improve the timeliness and accuracy of food safety supervision, which has very high practical value.
