Abstract
Patulin, a secondary metabolite of mold, is commonly found in rotten apples. Many countries regulate patulin at levels ranging from 30 to $50\;{\mu}g/L$. Most analytical methods for removing patulin from apple juice include liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), which is time and labor intensive. To replace the LLE method, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) method has been developed for apple juice and unfiltered apple juice. A portion of the test sample was applied to a macroporous copolymer cartridge and washed with 5 mL of 1% sodium bicarbonate, followed by 5 mL of 1% acetic acid. Patulin was eluted with 5 mL of 2% acetonitrile in anhydrous ethyl ether. The mobile phase was tetrahydrofuran in water (0.8:99.2) and was detected with a UV detector at 276 nm. Recoveries ranged from 95 to 101% in test samples, and the minimum detectable level was 30 ppb. Because this SPE method is fast, easy, reliable, and inexpensive, it could be applicable for companies or analytical agencies to analyze patulin concentrations in apple juice.
