Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a method for detecting ten tobacco alkaloids in soil. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tobacco alkaloids are a class of low molecular weight compounds containing nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, common tobacco alkaloids mainly include nicotine, nornicotine, myosmine, anabasine, anatabine, anatabine, anatabine, 2,3'-dipyridine, nornicotine, N-methyl anatabine, nornicotine, etc. Most of these tobacco alkaloids have strong biological toxicity, which can affect the primary metabolism of cells, gene expression, transcriptional regulation, etc. If these tobacco alkaloids are stored in the soil for a long time, they will be absorbed, transported and enriched in plant leaves and fruits by crops, which will eventually lead to potential food safety problems. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a method for detecting tobacco alkaloids in soil.

[0003] The prior art does not have a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for simultaneously detecting multiple alkaloids in soil. In addition, a small part of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method or the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method is used to detect part of the tobacco alkaloids. These methods need to perform complex pretreatment such as organic solvent extraction and ultrasonic assisted extraction on the sample. This process needs to go through multiple extraction and separation, which inevitably leads to the loss of alkaloids, making the final detection result deviate from the true value. Even the pretreatment of a sample takes several hours, which seriously restricts the detection efficiency of alkaloids.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a rapid analysis method for tobacco alkaloids in soil, which has short time consumption, high sensitivity and can extract and detect multiple alkaloids at a time.

[0005] To solve any of the above problems, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

The method has simple pretreatment, and the sample amount and solvent amount used are relatively small. The entire sample pretreatment can be completed in one hour, the steps are simple, and the sample processing time is greatly shortened and the loss of active ingredients is reduced. The multiple reaction monitoring mode is adopted, which has the advantages of high sensitivity, good reproducibility, wide linear range, etc.
