LC-MS/MS를 이용한 소의 식용조직 중 세팔렉신의 잔류검사법

Abstract

An analytical method for the determination of cephalexin (CEX) in bovine tissues (muscle, liver, kidney and fat tissues) was developed and validated using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Tissue samples were extracted by the liquid-liquid extraction based on 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse phase C18 column with gradient elution using a mobile phase of 20 mM hexafluroacetylacetone (HFAC)/50% acetonitrile (40:60). The procedure was validated according to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guideline determining accuracy, precision, and limit of detection. Mean recoveries of CEX from spiked edible tissues (6~1,500 μg/kg) were 83.9~106.8%, and the relative standard deviation was between 2.3 and 14.8%. Linearities were obtained with the correlation coefficient (r2) of > 0.999. Limit of detection and limit of quantification for the investigated CEX were 2~10 and 6~30 μg/kg, respectively. This method was reliable, sensitive, economical and suitable for routine monitoring of CEX residues in bovine edible tissues.
