LC-MS/MS를 이용한 우유 중 덱사메타손의 잔류 분석법 개발

초록

An analytical method for the determination of dexamethasone (DM) in bovine milk samples was developed and validated using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Milk samples were extracted by the liquid-liquid extraction based on acetonitrile. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse phase C18 column with gradient elution using a mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in 95% acetonitrile. The procedure was validated according to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guideline determining accuracy, precision, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ). Mean recoveries of DM from spiked milk samples (25, 125, and 1,250 ng/mL) were 98.9-109.6%, and the relative standard deviation was between 1.7 and 4.4%. Linearity in concentration range of 12.5-1,250 ng/mL was obtained with the correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9997. LOD and LOQ for the investigated DM were 0.15 and 0.5 ng/mL depending on milk samples, respectively. This method was reliable, sensitive, economical and suitable for routine monitoring of DM residues in bovine milk.
