AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for detecting N-nitrosamine compounds in aquatic products suffer from problems such as large sample size, high consumption of organic reagents, low processing efficiency, and inaccurate test results. In particular, it is difficult to effectively remove interfering substances and enrich the analytes in samples with high oil content, leading to inaccurate test results.
The purification and enrichment were carried out by steam distillation combined with an acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column. N-nitrosamine compounds were extracted by steam distillation, and the distillate was purified by the acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column. Water-soluble compounds were first washed with water to remove water, then hexane was used to remove fat-soluble impurities, and finally dichloromethane was used to elute N-nitrosamine compounds. Nitrogen blowing concentration and redissolution were then performed to obtain the sample for use.
It improved the extraction rate of N-nitrosamine compounds, reduced the loss of analytes, and achieved highly sensitive and accurate detection results.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of substance analysis and detection, and particularly relates to a method for extracting and detecting N-nitrosamine compounds in aquatic products. BACKGROUND
[0002] N-nitrosamine compounds are a class of compounds containing N-N=O structure. Research has found that more than 90% of the more than 300 known N-nitrosamine compounds have toxicity and carcinogenicity, can cause tumors in offspring through mother-to-child transmission, and also have strong teratogenic and mutagenic effects. Common N-nitrosamine compounds in food include N-dimethyl-nitrosamine (NDMA), N-methyl-ethyl-nitrosamine (NMEA), N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPyr), N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP), N-dipropyl-nitrosamine (NDPA), N-diethyl-nitrosamine (NDEA), N-dibutyl-nitrosamine (NDBA) and N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR), etc., among which NDMA and NDEA are the most toxic. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has rated NDMA and NDEA as 2A carcinogens and NPyr, NMEA, NPIP and NDBA as B-class general carcinogens.
[0003] In recent years, the products with NDMA content exceeding the standard mainly include aquatic products, including squid, cod, lionfish and other fish processing foods, so it is very important to detect and monitor NDMA and NDEA in aquatic products.
[0004] N-nitrosamine compounds have the characteristics of small relative molecular weight and easy volatilization, and their content in food is generally in the μg / kg level, the response is low, and the detection is difficult. In addition, the fish slice sample is usually complex after marinating and heat processing, and other impurities are easy to interfere with the determination accuracy, so the requirements for pretreatment and instrument analysis technology are relatively high. The GB 5009.26-2016 'National Food Safety Standard Determination of N-nitrosamine Compounds in Food' discloses using water vapor distillation to separate and extract N-nitrosamine compounds, and then using large-volume dichloromethane for multiple liquid-liquid extraction to extract and purify N-nitrosamine compounds. However, the above pretreatment method still has many shortcomings, such as a large sample size of 200g, a large amount of organic reagent for multiple extraction and rotary evaporation concentration, large consumption of organic reagent, long pretreatment process, low processing efficiency, especially difficult blank control, and high protection requirements for experimental operators.
[0005] Especially for aquatic products with rich oil content, simple organic solvent extraction cannot effectively remove interfering substances and enrich the analyte, and it is difficult to meet the detection requirements, and a large amount of sample needs to be weighed; distillation extraction or alkali treatment is first carried out, and then solid phase extraction, matrix solid phase dispersion microextraction or solid phase microextraction and other steps are carried out on the extraction liquid or supernatant to remove impurities, and finally rotary evaporation or nitrogen blowing is used to achieve the purpose of concentration and enrichment. According to relevant literature research and pre-experiment, when the sample weight is large, due to the oil contained in the aquatic products and the edible oil added in the processing process, the sample after alkali treatment still contains a certain amount of oil and other interfering substances, which needs to be removed and concentrated in multiple steps, which not only consumes manpower and material resources, but also easily leads to the loss of the analyte, resulting in inaccurate detection results. SUMMARY

[0159] The grilled cod fillets were minced and homogenized, and about 200 g of sample was taken into a sample bottle, labeled and stored at -18°C for future use. Before detection, the sample was thawed and mixed at 4°C, and then taken for detection.
[0160] 2.2 Extraction using Figure 1 a steam distillation apparatus as shown in the figure
[0161] 10.0 g of sample (accurate to 0.001 g) was weighed, 50 μL of N-nitrosamine mixed internal standard solution (1.0 μg / mL) was added, 40 mL of water, 20 g of sodium chloride and 1 g of barium hydroxide were added to the distillation flask, and the distillation device was fully mixed and the steam outlet was passed below the liquid surface. 50 mL of ice water was added to a 250 mL triangular flask, the outlet of the condenser tube (the cooling water temperature was controlled below 15°C) was inserted below the ice water surface, and the triangular flask was placed in an ice bath. The condenser water was turned on, and the steam distillation apparatus (see Figure 1 ) was turned on for heating and distillation. After collecting 150 mL of condensate, the heating device was turned off and the distillation was stopped, and the distillate was obtained.
[0162] 2.3 Purification
[0163] An acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column (as a comparison, the acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column was replaced with a coconut shell activated carbon column) was taken, the vacuum pump of the solid phase extraction device was turned on, and the acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column was activated with 10 mL of dichloromethane, 10 mL of methanol and 10 mL of water in turn. Then 100 mL of distillate was passed through the modified coconut shell carbon column at a speed of 5 mL / min, the column was washed with 10 mL of water, vacuumed for 2 min to remove the water in the column, then washed with 10 mL of n-hexane, and finally eluted with 10 mL of dichloromethane. The eluate was dehydrated with a small amount of anhydrous sodium sulfate and collected in a 15 mL plastic centrifuge tube, 0.5 mL of methanol was added, and the dichloromethane eluate was obtained.
[0164] 2.4 Concentration
[0165] The dichloromethane eluate was concentrated under nitrogen at 25°C or below, and the nitrogen was blown off to 0.5 mL or less (not dried). Methanol was added to 1 mL, and the mixture was vortexed and then transferred to a sample vial for instrument detection.
[0166] 2.5 Detection
[0167] The instrument sample obtained in 2.4 was detected according to the parameters shown in 2.
[0168] Figure 3 The total ion chromatogram and MRM chromatogram of baked cod fillet purified by acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column were determined; from Figure 3 It can be seen that: the acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column for the concentration and purification of nitrosamine compounds in the distillation liquid of baked cod fillet, compared with
[0169] Figure 4 The total ion chromatogram and MRM chromatogram of baked cod fillet purified by acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column were determined; from Figure 4 It can be seen that: the acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column for the concentration and purification of nitrosamine compounds in the distillation liquid of baked cod fillet, compared with Figure 3 compared, the impurity interference before the N-dimethyl nitrosamine peak (about 10.8 min) is significantly reduced, reducing the qualitative and quantitative interference of N-dimethyl nitrosamine (10.97 min), greatly improving the sensitivity of the method, improving the accuracy and precision, sensitivity of the detection method, and it is speculated that the acid-modified coconut shell activated carbon column improves the adsorption capacity of impurities, so that the dichloromethane elution of N-nitrosamine compounds cannot elute the interfering substances, thereby separating the impurities and N-nitrosamine compounds.
[0170] 2.5.1 Qualitative determination
[0171] Compared with the standard series working solution, the mass chromatographic peak retention time of the sample should be consistent with the standard solution, and the allowed deviation is less than ± 2.5%, and in the sample mass spectrum after deducting the background, the selected ions all appear and the signal-to-noise ratio is ≥3, and the relative abundance of the qualitative ion pair (expressed by the intensity percentage relative to the strongest ion abundance) is equivalent to the relative abundance of the standard use solution, and the allowed deviation is not more than the range specified in Table 3, then it can be judged that the corresponding measured substance exists in the sample, and the specific requirements are shown in Table 3.
[0172] Table 3 Maximum allowed deviation of relative ion abundance in qualitative determination
[0173] Relative ion abundance >50% 20%~50% 10%~20% ≤10% Allowed maximum deviation ±20% ±25% ±30% ±50%
[0174] 2.5.2 Quantitative determination
[0175] The content of N-nitrosamines in the aquatic product sample is calculated according to Formula 1:
[0176]
[0177] In Formula 1:
[0178] X - the content of N-nitrosamines in the sample, in units of micrograms per kilogram (μg / kg);
[0179] p - the peak area ratio of the chromatographic peak of N-nitrosamines in the sample to the chromatographic peak of the corresponding internal standard, the corresponding N-nitrosamine concentration obtained by the standard curve, in units of micrograms per liter (μg / L);
[0180] p0 - the peak area ratio of the chromatographic peak of N-nitrosamines in the blank test to the chromatographic peak of the corresponding internal standard, the corresponding N-nitrosamine concentration obtained by the standard curve, in units of micrograms per liter (μg / L);
[0181] V - the final constant volume of the test solution, in units of milliliters (mL);
[0182] m - the mass of the sample, in units of grams (g);
[0183] 1000 - conversion coefficient;
[0184] The calculation result is kept to two decimal places.
[0185] The ratio of the peak area of N-nitrosamines to the peak area of the corresponding isotopic internal standard is calculated, and the concentration of the measured compound in the sample solution is obtained according to the standard curve. The response values of the standard working solution and the sample solution of N-nitrosamines should be within the linear response range of the standard curve. If the content exceeds the range of the standard curve, the sample mass or the constant volume needs to be adjusted for re-detection.
[0186] Example 3
[0187] The same as Example 2, except that no aquatic product sample is added.
[0188] Figure 5 The total ion flow chromatogram and the MRM diagram are determined for the blank test, and the chromatographic peak of N-nitrosamines is not found. Figure 5It can be seen that: the blank test does not detect N-dimethyl nitrosamine and N-diethyl nitrosamine. N-dimethyl nitrosamine and N-diethyl nitrosamine have small molecular weight and large impurity interference, and the high blank value is caused by the distillation device, large amount of reagent used and the like. The extraction method provided in the application uses a Teflon tube instead of a plastic tube to avoid the dissolution of interfering substances from the plastic tube under high temperature, thereby reducing the high blank value. In addition, the extraction method provided in the application avoids large-volume liquid-liquid extraction as much as possible, reduces the amount of reagent (only 10 mL of dichloromethane), avoids large-volume concentration, and reduces the blank value.

[0193] It can be seen from Table 4 that the recovery rate of N-dimethyl nitrosamine is 74.3% to 107.8%, and the RSD is 3.2% to 12.3%; the recovery rate of N-diethyl nitrosamine is 83.5% to 115.5%, and the RSD is 1.4% to 9.6%; which meets the methodological requirements.
[0194] Figure 6 The black fish fillets are added with 1.0 μg / kg to determine the total ion chromatogram and MRM diagram; from Figure 6 It can be seen that: the blank matrix of roasted cod fillets, black fish fillets, shrimp and squid filaments is taken, and 1.0 μg / kg, 5.0 μg / kg and 10.0 μg / kg of N-dimethyl nitrosamine and N-diethyl nitrosamine are added.

[0197] The results are: precision 7.5%~9.6%, which meets the methodological requirements.

The average signal-to-noise ratio of the sample was 35.2 and 42.6, respectively, both of which were greater than 10. Therefore, the quantitative limit was determined to be 1.0 μg / kg. Then, according to the detection limit being 1 / 3 of the quantitative limit, the detection limit was determined to be 0.3 μg / kg.
[0200] Example 7
[0201] The difference from Example 2 is that the source of the squid threads is different.
[0202] Figure 7 The total ion flow chromatogram and MRM diagram of the squid thread sample were determined. Figure 7 It can be seen that the content of N-dimethyl nitrosamine and N-diethyl nitrosamine in the squid thread is 3.2 μg / kg and 0.7 μg / kg, respectively.
