Development of a two-step pretreatment and UPLC-MS/MS-based method for simultaneous determination of acrylamide, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, advanced glycation end products and heterocyclic amines in thermally processed foods. Food Chem 2024; 430:136726. [PMID: 37544159 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
A two-step pretreatment and UPLC-MS/MS-based method was established to extract and determine 17 thermal processing hazards (TPHs) simultaneously. The first step was to extract acrylamide (AA), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and free heterocyclic amines (HAs). The bound HAs and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were released by acid hydrolysis in the second step. A fairly good separation was achieved within 7 min. Almost all TPHs showed high correlation coefficients (R2 >0.999) in their respective linear ranges. The accuracy ranged from 98.13 to 100.96%. LODs and LOQs were in the range of 0.01-0.89 µg/L and 0.02-2.96 µg/L, respectively. The method was successfully applied to four representative food products, including high-starch, high-protein, high-fat and high-sugar foods, showing acceptable recoveries, intra-day and inter-day precisions. Moreover, PCA was performed to visualize the association between TPHs and food matrices. The developed method provided technical support for the formation and control researches of TPHs.

One-pot derivatization/extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for furfurals determination. Food Chem 2023; 428:136839. [PMID: 37429242 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
Furfurals (5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural and 5-methyl furfural) have potential toxic effects to humans. This study developed a simple and rapid one-pot derivatization/extraction procedure for effective sample preparation of furfurals in complex samples prior to instrument analysis. The sample solution was incubated with 1-pyrenebutyric hydrazide (PBH) and hydroxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) in a vial for 3 min. During this process, the furfurals were effectively derivatized by PBH and the furfural-PBH derivatives were selectively captured by MWCNTs-OH simultaneously. The detection selectivity and accuracy were greatly improved for the following liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Quantifying furfurals was validated over the 0.5-500 ng/mL concentration range with satisfactory linearities (R2 >0.99), accuracies (84.7%-119.0%) and precisions (<9.0%). The limits of quantification of 0.30, 0.36 and 0.20 ng/mL for 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural and 5-methyl furfural, respectively, were achieved. Finally, the validated method was successfully applied to determine furfurals concentrations in various samples.

Abstract
A robust and sensitive analytical method for the simultaneous determination of 9 mycotoxins, AA, and 5-HMF by UHPLC-MS/MS was developed. Clean-up of the extracts was achieved by d-SPE with EMR-lipid. A new column phase (C18-PFP) was selected for HPLC separation after comparison with the C18 column. Finally, the method gave good linear relations with regression coefficients R2 > 0.99. The recovery of all the tested compounds was within the range of 70.67 to 104.88%, and the intraday and interday relative standard deviations (RSD) were lower than 12.49. The proposed method was then applied to investigate the mycotoxins, AA and 5-HMF in 20 food samples sold in the retail market. AA and 5-HMF were widely detected, and half of the samples were found to contain at least one mycotoxin contamination. Therefore, this method is potential to be used as a convenient and effective method for the cookies product quality control in the future.

Food Chem 2023; 424:136349.

Abstract
Acrylamide (AA) and heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs), as classic hazards produced during food thermal processing, have been widely concerned, but because of their polarity difference, it is very difficult to detect these contaminants simultaneously. Herein, novel cysteine (Cys)-functionalized magnetic covalent organic frameworks (Fe3O4@COF@Cys) were synthesized via a thiol-ene click strategy and then used as adsorbents for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). Benefiting from the hydrophobic properties of COFs and the modification of hydrophilic Cys, AA and HAAs could be enriched simultaneously. Then, a rapid and reliable method based on MSPE coupled with HPLC-MS/MS was developed for the simultaneous detection of AA and 5 HAAs in thermally processed foods. The proposed method showed good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9987) with satisfactory limits of detection (0.012-0.210 μg kg-1) and recoveries (90.4-102.8%). Actual sample analysis showed that the levels of AA and HAAs in French fries were affected by frying time and temperature, water activity of samples, content and type of reaction precursors, and reuse of oils.

Contents and Correlations of Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine, Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine, Acrylamide and Nutrients in Plant-Based Meat Analogs. Foods 2023; 12:foods12101967. [PMID: 37238785 DOI: 10.3390/foods12101967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
High temperatures applied in the production of plant-based meat analogs (PBMA) lead to the occurrence of Maillard reactions, in which harmful compounds Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) and acrylamide are formed. However, little research has focused on these compounds in PBMA. In this study, the contents of CML, CEL and acrylamide in 15 commercial-sold PBMA were determined by an ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph coupled with a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS). Nutrients (protein, amino acids, fatty acids and sugars) which are related to the formation of these compounds were also studied. The results showed that CML, CEL and acrylamide contents were in the range of 16.46-47.61 mg/kg, 25.21-86.23 mg/kg and 31.81-186.70 μg/kg, respectively. Proteins account for 24.03-53.18% of PBMA. Except for Met + Cys, which is the limiting amino acid of most PBMA, all other indispensable amino acids met the requirements for adults. Besides, PBMA had more n-6 fatty acids than n-3 fatty acids. A correlation analysis showed that proteins and the profiles of amino acid and fatty acid had little influence on CML but significant influence on CEL and acrylamide. The results of the present study can be used as a reference to produce PBMA with higher amounts of nutrients and lower amounts of CML, CEL and acrylamide.

Abstract
Acrylamide is a neurotoxin and carcinogen that forms during the thermal processing of food, inflicting irreversible harm to human health. Herein, a ratiometric fluorescence biosensor based on a 6-carboxyfluorescein-labeled aptamer (FAM-ssDNA) and porphyrin metal-organic framework (PCN-224) was developed. PCN-224 exhibits strong adsorption capacity for FAM-ssDNA and also quenches the fluorescence of FAM-ssDNA via fluorescence resonance energy transfer and photoinduced electron transfer. FAM-ssDNA hybridizes with complementary DNA to form double-stranded DNA (FAM-dsDNA), which is liberated from the PCN-224 surface, resulting in fluorescence recovery. However, the intrinsic fluorescence of the ligand remains unchanged. Acrylamide can create an adduct with FAM-ssDNA and inhibit the hybridization of FAM-dsDNA, thus realizing ratiometric sensing of acrylamide. The proposed biosensor displays excellent detection performance from 10 nM∼0.5 mM with a limit of detection of 1.9 nM. In conclusion, a fabricated biosensor was successfully applied to detect acrylamide in thermally processed food, and the results were consistent with those of high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
A robust and sensitive isotope dilution UPLC-MS/MS method was established for the simultaneous analysis of acrylamide (AA), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine (PhIP). A fairly good separation of three analytes was achieved within 4.5 min. High correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.9998) of the three compounds were obtained in their respective linear ranges. This method demonstrated low limits of detection (1.57 μg/L for AA, 0.61 μg/L for HMF, and 0.02 μg/L for PhIP) and limits of quantification (5.22 μg/L for AA, 2.03 μg/L for HMF, and 0.05 μg/L for PhIP). This method also demonstrated excellent quantification accuracy (99.02%-101.12%), precision (RSD < 6%), and recovery (82.83-119.92%) in the Maillard model systems and deep-fried meatballs. This work develops a fundamental method for the rapid simultaneous determination of AA, HMF, and PhIP in thermally processed foods that are both carbohydrates-rich and protein-rich, meanwhile providing technical support for the generation mechanism of various hazards.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the most commonly used method for sulfonamide determination. Its accuracy, however, can be affected by many factors. In this study, sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfadimidine (SMZ), and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) in milk were selected to investigate an accurate determination method and the potential influencing factors in the use of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Milk samples were extracted by 25 mL perchloric acid solution (pH = 2) and cleaned up using HLB solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. Four kinds of filters, including PTFE, GHP, nylon, and glass fiber, were compared, and PTFE was selected since it had the best recoveries of target sulfonamides (SAs). Three quantitative methods, including external standard (ES), matrix matching (MM), and isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS), were compared, among which IDMS exhibited the best accuracy. The matrix effect under different mobile phase compositions and of different sample matrices were evaluated and discussed. Ion suppression effects were observed during the determination of all SAs, which got stronger with the increase of the methanol composition percent in the mobile phase. After correction by IDMS, the matrix effect could be neglected. Matrix spiked recoveries at three spiked levels (1 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg, and 20 μg/kg) ranged from 96.8% to 103.8% by IDMS. The expanded relative uncertainties were in the range of 2.02% to 5.75%. The method exhibited wide application range, high accuracy, good stability, and high sensitivity.

Abstract
As a potential carcinogen produced in food thermal processing, acrylamide (AM) can cause irreversible harm to human health. For the detection of AM in food products, a simple fluorescent biosensor based on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was developed. Reduced fluorescence intensity of CQDs at 445 nm (excitation at 350 nm) was induced by the attachment of ssDNA. In the presence of AM, ssDNA was preferentially bound to AM by hydrogen bonding and the degree of fluorescence reduction was smaller than that without AM. Under optimized conditions, results showed that the sensing approach for detecting AM had a low detection limit of 2.41 × 10-8 M in the standard solution, and a linear relationship ranging from 5 × 10-3 to 1 × 10-7 M with the determination coefficient (R2) of 0.9895 was obtained. Furthermore, a good recovery percentage (91.36-98.11%) in bread crust showed the potential for practical applications of this proposed biosensor.

Abstract
In this study, a rapid and reliable method based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q Exactive HF-X mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE/MS) was established for the simultaneous quantification and validation of acrylamide, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and 14 heterocyclic aromatic amines in thermally processed foods. With the optimization of the pretreatment method, all 16 hazardous compounds with different polarities were simultaneously extracted and purified by one-step purification. By studying various acquisition modes in detail, full MS + PRM detection using an electrospray ionization source in the positive mode gives an excellent-shaped chromatographic peak and thereby achieves a better quantitative ability for analytes in the matrix. This method demonstrated good quantification recovery in the range of 68.85-146.42%. The limits of quantification were within the range from 0.1 to 50 ng/mL. With the method proposed, the simultaneous determination of 16 hazardous compounds in different thermally processed foods was successfully applied. The all-fragment-ion approaches at high resolution have the ability to reduce false-positive peak detections arising from peak alignment software in the detection of samples significantly. The proposed isotope dilution UHPLC-QE/MS method was validated and demonstrated to be sensitive, accurate, and precise for the simultaneous quantification of multiple contaminants in one injection.

Abstract
Acrylamide and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (5-HMF) are two of the most abundant compounds generated during thermal processing. A simple method for the simultaneous quantitation of acrylamide and 5-HMF was developed and successfully applied in thermally processed foods. Acrylamide and 5-HMF were co-extracted with methanol and then purified and enriched by an Oasis HLB solid-phase extraction cartridge, simultaneously analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and detected with a diode array detector, respectively, at their optimal wavelength. The linear concentration range was found to be 25-5000 μg/L with high linear correlation coefficients (R > 0.999). The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation for acrylamide and 5-HMF were 6.90 μg/L and 4.66 μg/L, and 20.90 μg/L and 14.12 μg/L, respectively. The recovery of acrylamide and 5-HMF in biscuits, bread, Chinese doughnuts, breakfast cereals, and milk-based baby foods was achieved at 87.72-96.70% and 85.68-96.17% with RSD at 0.78-3.35% and 0.55-2.81%, respectively. The established method presents simplicity, accuracy and good repeatability, and can be used for the rapid simultaneous quantitation of acrylamide and 5-HMF in thermally processed foods.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a method for simultaneous determination of acrylamide (AA) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in heat-processed foods by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Several cleanup methods for the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) protocol were investigated and compared: (a) dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) with Enhanced Matrix Removal-Lipid (EMR-Lipid), (b) d-SPE with primary secondary amine, (c) without the cleanup step, and (d) cleanup with n-hexane. It is the first time that EMR-Lipid sorbent has been used as a d-SPE material to detect AA and 5-HMF in heat-processed foods, and among the four cleanup methods, the EMR-Lipid method provided the best cleanup of co-extracted matrix interferences and the highest extraction efficiency. Validation experiments were carried out for the method using EMR-Lipid as the d-SPE sorbent. Excellent linearity ( R2 > 0.999) was achieved, and the limits of detection (LODs) of AA and 5-HMF were 2.5 and 12.5 μg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of AA and 5-HMF levels obtained were in the ranges of 87.3-103.3 and 83.2-104.3%, with precision [relative standard deviations (RSDs)] of 1.2-6.8 and 1.4-7.4% ( n = 3), respectively. The method is accurate and reliable and was successfully applied to analyze the AA and 5-HMF in eight categories of Chinese heat-processed foods.

Abstract
Based on QuEChERS dispersed purification, Fe3O4 nanoparticle decoloration and UHPLC-MS/MS, a robust and sensitive method was established for simultaneous analysis of 14 heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) and acrylamide (AA) in coffee products. Sample was extracted by 90% acetonitrile water (v/v), dispersed with primary secondary amine (PSA) and further purified with Fe3O4 nanoparticle. Then, 15 analytes were detected using ESI positive ion under MRM mode. Good linearity was observed for all analytes in the range of 0.2-100 μg/L with the determination coefficients being above 0.996. Limits of detection (S/N ≥ 3) and limits of quantification (S/N ≥ 10) were in the range of 0.02-0.15 µg/L and 0.2-0.7 µg/L, respectively. The intra-day average recoveries were between 81.6% and 100%, and the intra-day precisions ranged from 4.3% to 9.0%.
