Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of physical and chemical detection of drug residues, and in particular to a rapid purification method and detection method of a chitosan composite filler for nitrofuran metabolite residues in aquatic products. Background Art
[0002] As an antibiotic that can fight most bacteria, nitrofurans mainly include four compounds: furazolidin, furatadone, nitrofurantoin and furazolidone. Studies have shown that nitrofurans have obvious toxic side effects and may cause serious consequences such as carcinogenesis, teratogenesis and mutagenesis. Therefore, the problem of their residues has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad.
[0003] Four nitrofuran drugs, namely nitrofurazone, furatadone, nitrofurantoin and furazolidone, have the characteristics of rapid metabolism in aquatic matrices such as fish and shrimp meat. Their corresponding final metabolites are semicarbazide (SEM), 3-amino-2-oxazolidone (AOZ), 1-amino-2-hydantoin (AHD) and 5-morpholinomethyl-3-amino-2-oxazolidone (AMOZ). These products are easy to bind to proteins and the final product structure is stable. Therefore, the residual levels of the four nitrofuran compounds are often reflected by detecting their corresponding four metabolites. At present, the detection methods for the residues of nitrofuran metabolites include immunochromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and high performance liquid chromatography. Compared with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, immunochromatography is affected by the stability and sensitivity of the antigen and is easily interfered by impurities; the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is easily interfered by temperature during operation; and high performance liquid chromatography has the problem of low sensitivity.
[0004] The components of aquatic product matrices are relatively complex, and impure proteins and lipid components are relatively rich. Therefore, it is necessary to select appropriate sample pretreatment methods to purify the final reconstituted liquid to ensure the accuracy and stability of the determination of nitrofuran metabolite residues, such as n-hexane degreasing method, solid phase extraction method, matrix dispersed solid phase extraction and Oasis PRiMEHLB purification method. However, the operation steps of the traditional solid phase extraction purification method are cumbersome and time-consuming. GB 31656.13-2021 "National Food Safety Standard for the Determination of Multiple Residues of Nitrofuran Metabolites in Aquatic Products by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry" requires the use of 14000r / min ultra-high speed centrifugation for 10 minutes to purify the final reconstituted liquid. Chitosan is a natural polymer extracted from the shells of crustaceans. As a natural polymer of fishery by-products, it not only solves the problem of waste disposal, but also shows broad application prospects in the field of sample pretreatment due to its unique properties. Chitosan is rich in many functional groups such as hydroxyl and amino groups, and has an outstanding ability to remove interfering substances such as fat. After mixing this material with the aquatic product extract, it can selectively adsorb and remove interfering substances such as fat and phospholipids, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the extract. Compared with traditional sample pretreatment methods such as solid phase extraction and 14000r / min ultra-high-speed centrifugation, the use of chitosan for purification can avoid a series of steps such as activation, leaching and elution. Only one centrifugation step is required to complete the purification of the extract, which has the advantages of efficient treatment methods and convenient operation. Summary of the invention

[0081] 4. Selection of purification method
[0082] After a series of pre-treatments such as hydrolysis, derivatization, extraction, and concentration, the reconstituted solution of nitrofuran metabolites still contains interfering substances, which affect the quantitative detection results. In this study, carp samples were used as experimental objects, and chitosan was used to remove impurities and purify the ethyl acetate extract. Carp spiked with a concentration of 10 μg / kg was used as the experimental object, and chitosan was used to remove impurities and purify the ethyl acetate extract.
[0083] (1) Effect of chitosan dosage
[0084] The specific sample pretreatment and detection are as follows: 2.0 g of blank carp surimi sample was weighed into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, and then the sample was pretreated using the above methods (1) hydrolysis and derivatization and (2) extraction and purification, except that 1 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate was used in combination with different masses of chitosan (0, 10, 20, 50, 60, 80, 100 mg) for purification. Then, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the sample, and the peak area of the quantitative ion measured on the mass spectrum was obtained. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2It can be seen that the response intensity of the target compound increases with the increase in the amount of chitosan used. The peak response intensity of the target compound is the highest when 80 mg of chitosan is used to purify the ethyl acetate extract. When the amount of chitosan is less than 80 mg, the instrument signal of nitrofuran metabolites may be suppressed by the matrix effect, resulting in low instrument response; when the amount of chitosan is higher than 80 mg, the effect of nitrofuran metabolites being adsorbed by chitosan is significant, resulting in a decrease in the instrument response of nitrofuran metabolites. Therefore, this experiment uses 80 mg of chitosan to remove impurities and purify the ethyl acetate extract.
[0085] (2) Effect of the dosage of anhydrous sodium sulfate
[0086] The specific sample pretreatment and detection are as follows: 2.0 g of blank carp surimi sample was weighed into a 50 mL centrifuge tube, and then the sample was pretreated using the above methods (1) hydrolysis and derivatization and (2) extraction and purification, except that 80 mg of chitosan was combined with different masses of anhydrous sodium sulfate (200, 500, 700, 1000, 1200, 1500 mg) for purification. Then, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect it, and the peak area of the quantitative ion measured on the mass spectrum was obtained. The results are shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 The results showed that the chromatographic peaks of the four target substances had the highest intensities when 80 mg chitosan and 1200 mg anhydrous sodium sulfate were used to purify the reconstituted solution. Therefore, 80 mg chitosan and 1200 mg anhydrous sodium sulfate were finally selected as the best purification filler combination in this study.
[0087] Example 2: Comparative study on purification effect with GB 31656.13-2021
[0088] In GB 31656.13-2021, the reconstituted solution is purified by high-speed centrifugation at 14000r / min for 10min. The specific method is as follows:
[0089] The hydrolysis and derivatization treatment was completed by (1) in the sample pretreatment of Example 1, and then the centrifuge tube was taken out after the reaction was completed and cooled to room temperature. 15 mL of 1.0 mol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution was used to adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5, and then 8 mL of ethyl acetate was added and vortexed for 1 min, centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was taken to a 10 mL centrifuge tube and blown to dryness with nitrogen at 40° C. 1 mL of 5% volume fraction methanol aqueous solution was added, and then the liquid was transferred to a 5 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 14000 rpm for 10 min, and passed through a 0.22 μm filter membrane for detection.
[0090] The method of the present invention adopts 2. Sample pretreatment in Example 1 to pretreat the sample.
[0091] The detection conditions were the same as those of the liquid chromatography in Example 1.
[0092] In this study, carp samples were used as experimental objects, and the chromatograms of the purified liquid after being treated by the two different purification methods were compared (see Figure 4 ). The results show that the one-step purification of chitosan composite filler (i.e., the method of the present invention) significantly improves the intensity of the chromatographic peaks of the four targets; when compared with the experimental process of the national standard method, the one-step purification method using chitosan is simpler in experimental steps, and the additional high-speed centrifugation to separate impurities before the final machine detection is omitted, and the overall experimental process is safer and more convenient; in addition, the addition of chitosan can adsorb and remove lipid impurities in the ethyl acetate extract, making the peak response value of the target stronger. After comprehensive consideration, the chitosan composite filler was selected to purify the sample.
[0093] Example 3: Methodological Verification
[0094] 1. Preparation of standard solution
[0095] Take appropriate amount of methanol solution of four nitrofuran metabolite mixed standard substances (100 μg / mL, Tianjin Alta Technology Co., Ltd.) and methanol solution of four nitrofuran metabolite isotope internal standard mixed standard substances (100 μg / mL, Tianjin Alta Technology Co., Ltd.) and dilute them with methanol to prepare a series of mixed standard intermediate solutions (SEM, AOZ, AHD and AMOZ concentrations were 100.0, 10.0, and 1.0 μg / mL, respectively) and mixed internal standard intermediate solutions (SEM- 13 C- 15 N 2 、AOZ-D 4 、AHD- 13 C 3 and AMOZ-D 5 The concentrations were all 100.0, 10.0, and 1.0 μg / mL), and stored at -20°C in a dark place for future use. Immediately before use, the mixed standard working solutions (100.0, 10.0 ng / mL) and the mixed internal standard working solutions (50.0 ng / mL) were prepared by diluting them step by step with water.
[0096] 2. Preparation of standard curve
[0097] Four nitrofuran metabolite mixed standard working solutions were diluted with methanol to obtain 10.0 ng / mL and 100.0 ng / mL mixed standard working solutions, respectively, to prepare a series of standard solutions with concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 ng / mL. Except for not adding actual samples and not performing purification treatment, the remaining experimental steps were performed according to 2. Sample pretreatment in Example 1, and the conditions of 3. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer were used for detection, and the standard curve was prepared by the internal standard method. The concentration value was used as the horizontal coordinate, and the area ratio of the target compound quantitative ion chromatographic peak measured on the mass spectrometer and the corresponding isotope internal standard peak was used as the vertical coordinate to prepare a linear equation and obtain the correlation coefficient.
[0098] 3. Linear equation and limit of quantitation
[0099] The linear regression equations, correlation coefficients and quantification limits of the four target compounds are shown in Table 3. The four nitrofuran metabolites showed good linear relationships in the concentration range of 0.5-10.0 μg / L, and the correlation coefficients (r) were all greater than 0.998. The spiked concentration at ten times the signal-to-noise ratio was selected as the quantification limit, i.e., 0.5 μg / kg, indicating that this method has high sensitivity.

[0102] 4. Accuracy, correctness and precision
[0103] Carp, turbot and white shrimp were selected as blank samples respectively, and the machine detection liquid was obtained according to the sample pretreatment method in Example 1 2. The unspiked matrix was selected as the blank sample. According to the requirements of GB 2704-2008, spiked samples (0.5, 2.0, 10.0 μg / kg) were prepared corresponding to three different concentration levels of one, four and twenty times the quantitative limit for experiment, so as to ensure that the different changes in the concentration of the sample within a certain degree during the detection can be correctly determined by the designed method, and the authenticity and reliability of the experimental results under different concentration ranges are ensured. The relative standard deviation (RSDs) was selected as the measure of the repeatability of the method. Six parallel samples were used for each spiked concentration, and the recovery rate and relative standard deviation were calculated. The results are shown in Table 4. At the three added concentration levels, the average recovery rate of the four nitrofuran metabolites was 96.5% to 116.5%, the intra-day RSDs were 2.2% to 9.3%, and the inter-day RSDs were 2.7% to 9.7%. The results showed that the detection method established in this study has high accuracy and good repeatability, and can meet the detection needs of four nitrofuran metabolites in common aquatic products.

[0106] As can be seen from the above, the present invention uses chitosan composite filler for rapid purification, combined with UPLC-QTRAP-MS / MS, to establish a method for accurately determining the residues of 4 nitrofuran metabolites in aquatic products. The experimental results show that this method does not require traditional high-speed centrifugation purification, and because chitosan is used to purify the ethyl acetate extract, the peak response intensity of the target object is also higher. The residues of 4 nitrofuran metabolites in aquatic products can be quickly and accurately determined at the same time. This method can fully meet the national food safety standard GB 31656.13-2021 for the detection requirements of AOZ, AMOZ, AHD and SEM 4 nitrofuran metabolites.
