Development and UFLC-MS/MS Characterization of a Product-Specific Standard for Phenolic Quantification of Maple-Derived Foods.

ABSTRACT: The phenolic contents of plant foods are commonly quantified by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay based on gallic acid equivalents (GAEs). However, this may lead to inaccuracies because gallic acid is not always representative of the structural heterogeneity of plant phenolics. Therefore, product-specific standards have been developed for the phenolic quantification of several foods. Currently, maple-derived foods (syrup, sugar, sap/water, and extracts) are quantified for phenolic contents based on GAEs. Because lignans are the predominant phenolics present in maple, herein, a maple phenolic lignan-enriched standard (MaPLES) was purified (by chromatography) and characterized (by UFLC-MS/MS with lignans previously isolated from maple syrup). Using MaPLES and secoisolariciresinol (a commercially available lignan), the phenolic contents of the maple-derived foods increased 3-fold compared to GAEs. Therefore, lignan-based standards are more appropriate for phenolic quantification of maple-derived foods versus GAEs. Also, MaPLES can be utilized for the authentication and detection of fake label claims on maple products.

Project description:Antibiotic residues in pharmaceutical wastewater pose a significant environmental concern due to their potential role in fostering antimicrobial resistance. South Indian pharmaceutical companies produce a wide range of antibiotics. As a result, the industries that discharge water may include antibiotic residues, which could be harmful to the environment. In this study, a novel, quick, accurate, and sensitive approach for the simultaneous detection of 11 antibiotics was established, and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, ultra-fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS), and selective solid-phase extraction (SPE) were used for validation. Utilizing a mixed mode reversed-phase/cation-exchange cartridge (SPE using Strata X, 33 μm), the single-cartridge extraction procedure was performed and validated. Relative standard deviations for most of the antibiotics ranged from 3.5 to 0.56 with recoveries ranging from 57 to 85%. The samples were injected into the UFLC-MS/MS apparatus at a volume of 10 μL for analysis. The auto sampler cooler temperature was kept at 150 °C, while the column temperature was kept at 40 °C. After validation, the technique was determined to be linear in the range of 2.0-1000.0 ng/mL. The retention period for antibiotics was between 1.2 and 1.5 min. Antibiotics transitions for multiple reaction monitoring| were between 235.1/105.9 and 711.5/467.9 m/z. The method of analysis took 2.5 min to run completely. Antibiotic residues were efficiently analyzed using the established analytical approach in pharmaceutical wastewater (influent and effluent), surface, and groundwater. Eleven antibiotics were found in the water samples during examination with concentrations ranging between 2.313 and 95.744 ng/L. The procedure was shown to be much more environmentally friendly than other contemporary methods based on the green analytical procedure index's evaluation of greenness. Blue applicability grade index tool indicated the developed method's practicality in comparison with that of other reported method.
