A UHPLC-MS/MS Method for the Detection of Meat Substitution by Nine Legume Species in Emulsion-Type Sausages.

ABSTRACT: Meat substitution by legume proteins in various types of meat products is a common practice. A reliable detection and quantification of these additives is required to control food specifications, especially regarding food fraud. Consequently, a UHPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous detection of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), broad bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), lupine (Lupinus albus and Lupinus angustifolius), pea (Pisum sativum), peanut (Arachis hypogaea), and soy (Glycine max) proteins in meat products was developed. After protein extraction and tryptic digestion, three marker peptides for each legume species were measured by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using an optimized extraction protocol. To the best of our knowledge, the marker peptides for alfalfa, broad bean, chickpea, and lentil have not been reported previously. Emulsion-type sausages with 0.1, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.3, 1.6, 1.9, 2.2, and 2.5% meat substitution by each legume species, representing the concentration range between inadvertently transferred cross-contaminations and the conscious use for meat substitution, were produced for matrix calibration. No false-positive results were recorded in blank samples. In the quantification of alfalfa, broad bean, chickpea, lentil, pea, peanut, and soy, 673 of 756 measuring data of the recovery rate in unknown sausages were in the accepted range of 80-120%.

Project description:An accurate and precise liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the pharmacokinetic study of epiprogoitrin and progoitrin, a pair of epimers that can be deglycosylated to epigoitrin and goitrin, respectively. These analytes were administered intravenously or intragastrically to male Sprague-Dawley rats, and the influence of 3(R/S)-configuration on the pharmacokinetics of both epimers in rat plasma was elucidated. The analytes and an internal standard (i.e., sinigrin) were resolved by LC-MS/MS on a reverse-phase ACQUITY UPLC™ HSS T3 column equilibrated and eluted with acetonitrile and water (0.1 % formic acid) at a ﬂow rate of 0.3 mL/min. Quantitation was achieved by applying the multiple reaction monitoring mode, in the negative ion mode, at transitions of m/z 388 → 97 and m/z 358 → 97 for the epimers and sinigrin, respectively. The method demonstrated good linearity over the concentration range of 2-5000 ng/mL (r > 0.996). The lower limit of quantification for epiprogoitrin and progoitrin was 2 ng/mL. The interday and intraday accuracy and precision were within ±15 %. The extraction recovery, stability, and matrix effect were demonstrated to be within acceptable limits. The validated method was thus successfully applied for the pharmacokinetic study of both the epimers. After the rats received the same oral dose of the epimers, the pharmacokinetic profiles were similar. The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and AUC values of epiprogoitrin were a bit higher than those of progoitrin, whereas the pharmacokinetic behaviours of the epimers were obviously different upon intravenous administration. The Cmax and AUC values of epiprogoitrin were approximately three-fold higher than those of progoitrin, and the half-life of progoitrin was much shorter than that of epiprogoitrin. The oral bioavailability of progoitrin was 20.1 %-34.1 %, which is three times higher than that of epiprogoitrin.

Project description:The Cannabis market is experiencing steady global growth. Cannabis herbal extracts (CHE) are interesting and sought-after products for many clinical conditions. The medical potential of these formulations is mainly attributed to neutral cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabinol (CBN), and their non-standardized content poses a significant fragility in these pharmaceutical inputs. High-resolution mass spectrometry portrays a powerful alternative to their accurate monitoring; however, further analytical steps need to be critically optimized to keep up with instrumental performance. In this study, Full Factorial and Box-Behnken designs were employed to achieve a multivariate optimization of CBD, THC, and CBN extraction from human and veterinary commercial CHE using a minimum methanol/hexane 9:1 volume and short operational times. A predictive model was also constructed using the Response Surface Methodology and its accuracy was validated. Agitation and sonication times were identified as the most significant operational extraction parameters, followed by the extraction mixture volume. The final setup of the optimized method represented a significantly faster and cheaper protocol than those in the literature. The selected neutral cannabinoids quantification was conducted using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS/MS) with a precision of <15%, accuracy of 69-98%, sensitivity of 23-39 ng kg-1, and linearity regarding pharmaceutical requirements. State-of-the-art levels of analytical sensitivity and specificity were achieved in the target quantification due to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The developed method demonstrated reliability and feasibility for routine analytical applications. As a proof-of-concept, it enabled the efficient processing of 16 samples of commercial CHE within a three-hour timeframe, showcasing its practicality and reproducibility, and highlighting its potential for broader adoption in similar scenarios for both human and veterinary medicines.
