One-pot derivatization/magnetic solid-phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection for the rapid determination of sulfonamide residues in honey.

ABSTRACT: Consuming foods with excess sulfonamide residues threatens human health, underscoring the importance of their detection in food. This study presents an innovative one-pot derivatization/magnetic solid-phase extraction (OPD/MSPE) method for sulfonamides analysis. This approach integrates the derivatization and extraction steps into a single process. The sample solution, along with the derivatization reagent fluorescamine and the sorbent magnetic hydroxyl multi-walled carbon nanotubes, is mixed and vortexed for 3 min. This procedure simultaneously conducts derivatization and extraction, with easy phase separation using an external magnet. This streamlined sample preparation method is completed in only 5 min and, when combined with liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (LC-FLD), demonstrates excellent linearity (R² > 0.99) and satisfactory detection limits (0.004-0.04 ng/g) for the quantification of nine sulfonamides in honey samples. The proposed OPD/MSPE-LC-FLD method is distinguished by its simplicity, rapidity, high sensitivity, and specificity, making it an outstanding advancement in the field of food safety analysis.
