Determination of Veterinary Drug Residues in Animal-derived Foods by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

[Objectives]This study was conducted to establish a rapid and effective method for simultaneous extraction of 54 kinds of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived food, including sulfonamides, quinolones, tetracyclines, malachite greens, penicillins, nitroimidazoles, tranquilizers and macrolides, by HPLC-MS. [Methods] The samples were extracted with 80% acetonitrile water(containing 0.1% formic acid), combined with QuEChERS extraction technology and C18 and PSA purification, analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and quantified by external standard method. The target substances were analyzed on ZORBAX Eclipse C18 chromatographic column using 0.2% formic acid water and 0.2% methanol as mobile phases. The gradient elution mode was used for chromatographic separation and multiple reaction detection. [Results] In the linear range of 0.5-50.0 ng/ml, the linear relationship of the 54 kinds of veterinary drug residues was good, with correlation coefficients(r~2) greater than 0.995, and the detection limits ranged from 0.30 to 1.00 μg/kg. The results showed that the recovery ranged from 75.4% to 118.2% when different matrixes were added for recovery. [Conclusions] This method is simple, efficient, accurate, stable, and highly operable. It is applicable to simultaneous batch screening of veterinary drug residues in animal-derived food, and has high practical application value.

Application of Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Determination of Veterinary Drug Residues

With the long -term and irrational use of veterinary drugs and drug additives in the process of animal feeding, the veterinary drug resi- dues in animals and their additives can be ingested into the human body and pose potential threat to human health. Detection of veterinary drug resi- dues are extremely important practical significance to protect the ecological environment and human health. In recent years, liquid chromatography -tandem mass spectrometry has been widely used in vetednary drug residue detection because of its applicability, qualitative and quantitative fea- tures as well as high sensitivity. This article summarized the application of liquid chromatography -tandem mass spectrometry in detection veterinary drug residues from feed, animal products, arid udne as well as illicit drugs and harmful additives.

Detection and recognition of veterinary drug residues in beef using hyperspectral discrete wavelet transform and deep learning

A fast,non-destructive recognition method for veterinary drug residues in beef was proposed to mitigate the laborious sample preparation and long detection times associated with conventional chemical detection techniques.Control beef samples free of veterinary drug residues and four groups of beef sprayed with relevant concentrations of metronidazole,ofloxacin,salbutamol,and dexamethasone under ambient conditions were analyzed by 400-1000 nm hyperspectral imaging followed by multiplicative scatter correction preprocessing.Data dimension reduction was performed using Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling(CARS),Principal Component Analysis(PCA),and Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT)based on Haar,db3,bior1.5,sym5,and rbio1.3 wavelet basis functions.Treated data were subjected to Convolutional Neural Network(CNN),Multilayer Perceptron(MLP),Random Forest(RF),and Support Vector Machine(SVM)modelling.CNN,MLP,SVM,and RF algorithms achieved overall accuracies of 91.6%,88.6%,87.6%,and 86.2%,respectively,when combined with DWT(wavelet basis functions and numbers of transform layers being Haar-4,db3-2,bior1.5-4,and sym5-3,respectively).The algorithm Kappa coefficients(0.89,0.86,0.85,and 0.83,respectively)and time consumption for prediction(140.60 ms,57.85 ms,70.67 ms,and 87.16 ms,respectively)were also superior to models based on CARS and PCA.DWT combined with deep learning can shorten prediction times,considerably improve the accuracy of classification and recognition,and alleviate the Hughes phenomenon,thus providing a new method for the fast,non-destructive detection and recognition of veterinary drug residues in beef.

Application of Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry in the Detection of Raw Milk and Dairy Products

Milk and dairy products are more and more popular with consumers due to their various nutrients, and their quality and safety issues have always been concerned. Therefore, the development of rapid, accurate and simple screening techniques is of great significance. Liquid chromatography-high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry has high-resolution and high-throughput detection functions, and has gradually begun to be applied in the detection of milk and dairy products. This paper summarized the application of milk and dairy products in liquid chromatography-high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry, laying a foundation for the development of new methods.
