本研究建立以高效液相層析串聯質譜法(liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry,LC/MS/MS)利用負離子電灑法以多重反應偵測(multiple reaction monitoring,MRM)模式同時檢測食品中苯甲酸(benzoic acid)、對羥苯甲酸(p-hydroxy-benzoic acid)、水楊酸(salicylic acid)、對羥苯甲酸甲酯(methyl p-hydroxybenzoate)、對羥苯甲酸乙酯(ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate)及對羥苯甲酸丙酯(propyl p-hydroxybenzoate)、對羥苯甲酸異丙酯(isopropyl p-hydroxybenzoate)、對羥苯甲酸丁酯(butyl p-hydroxybenzoate)、對羥苯甲酸異丁酯(isobutyl p-hydroxybenzoate)及對羥苯甲酸間丁酯(sec-butyl p-hydroxybenzoate) 10項防腐劑之檢驗方法。精確量取檢體5g加水與甲醇(1:1,v/v)溶液30mL,振盪30分鐘,以去離子水定容至50mL,混勻,於4000 rpm離心10分鐘,取上清液經0.22μm濾膜過濾後,使用Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18(2.7μm,4.6×100mm)層析管柱,以0.1%甲酸溶液與含0.1%甲酸之甲醇為移動相進行梯度流洗,再以串聯質譜儀分析。泡麵類食品添加防腐劑混合標準溶液,使其添加濃度為0.01、0.02、0.04g/kg,行三重複試驗,回收率介於60-115%,變異係數小於20%。
A method for the analysis of 10 preservatives in foods by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with electrospray ionization was developed. Data acquisition under MS/ MS for every preservative was achieved by applying multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Benzoic acid, p-hydroxy-benzoic acid, salicylic acid, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, isopropyl p-hydroxybenzoate, butyl p-hydroxybenzoate, isobutyl p-hydroxybenzoate and sec-butyl p-hydroxybenzoate were extracted from foods with 50% methanol (v/v), and analyzed by LC/MS/MS with electrospray ionization. The LC separation was conducted on an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 (2.7 μm, 4.6 × 100 mm) column with gradient elution of 0.1% formic acid in water and methanol as the mobile phase. The recoveries of 10 preservatives (0.01, 0.02 and 0.04 g/kg) spiked in instant noodles ranged from 60 to 115% and the coefficients of variation of all preservatives were below 20%.
