[Determination of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol in hydrolyzed vegetable proteins and soy by solid phase extraction and gas chromatography/negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry].
Solid phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatographic/negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometric (GC/NCI-MS) method was developed for the determination of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) in hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (HVP) and soy. The optimized conditions for the extraction and cleanup of 3-MCPD on an Aoisa-HBL column were investigated. The extract with hexane-ethyl acetate was evaporated to nearly dry by N2 at 40 degrees C and derivatization was performed with 1-(heptafluorobutyryl) imidazole at 70 degrees C for 30 min. The mixture was then injected into a gas chromatograph with a DB-5MS capillary column, detected by a mass spectrometer in negative chemical ionization and selected ion monitoring mode (NCI/SIM) and quantified with external standard calibration. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for 3-MCPD was 0.5 microg/kg. The average recovery was in a range of 92.2%-97.4% with a relative standard deviation range of 3.6%-10.9%. The results indicated that the method could be used for the sensitive and accurate determination of 3-MCPD in foods and agriculture products.
