Simultaneous Determination of Quinolones in Flatfish and Egg Using liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of nine quinolones (QNs) namely, marbofloxacin, norfloxacin(IS), ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sarafloxacin, difloxacin, oxolinic acid, and flumequine in flatfish and egg was developed and validated using liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FD). The samples were extracted using a traditional liquid-liquid extraction process; deproteinization was accomplished by the addition of trichloroacetic acid and acetonitrile (ACN), and defatting was performed with hexane. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse phase C8 column with gradient elution using a mobile phase of 200 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5) and ACN. The proposed method was validated according to the CODEX guideline. Mean recoveries of QNs from flatfish and egg were 89.6-106.5% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 15% at three different concentrations of 50, 100 and $500{\mu}g/kg$. Linearity was obtained with a correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of 0.9989-1.0000. The LOD for the investigated QNs was $1-16{\mu}g/kg$ depending on flatfish and egg. The present method can be applied simultaneously to determine QNs in muscle of flatfish and egg.

액체크로마토그래피를 이용한 광어 및 계란 중 퀴놀론계의 동시분석법 개발

본 논문에서는 식품 중 퀴놀론계(QNs) 합성항균제(marbofloxacin, norfloxacin, danofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, difloxacin, sarafloxacin, oxolinic acid 그리고 flumequine) 9종을 분석하기 위하여, 액-액 추출 과정을 거쳐서 형광검출기가 장착된 액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 QNs를 효율적으로 동시 분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. 컬럼은 Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8($150\;mm{\times}4.6\;mm,\;5{\mu}m$), 이동상 용매는 200mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 4.5)와 ACN로 기울기 용리를 사용하였으며, 유속은 1.5 ml/min, 그리고, 주입량은 $10{\mu}l$로 설정하여 분석하였다. 확립된 분석조건으로, 표준검정 곡선은 $10-500{\mu}g/kg$의 농도범위에서 상관계수가 0.9989 이상의 양호한 직선성을 나타내었으며, 회수율은 50, 100 그리고 $500{\mu}g/kg$의 농도에서 89.6-106.5%로, 향상된 추출효율을 나타내었다. 검출한계는 $1-16{\mu}g/kg$이었고, 정량한계는 $3-47{\mu}g/kg$이었으며, 일내(intra-day)와 일간(inter-day) 정밀도(CV%)는 0.2-15.0%, 0.5-11.7%이었다. 따라서, 확립된 분석방법은 광어 및 계란 중의 QNs을 효과적으로 분석하는데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
