Abstract

ABSTRACT A high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) method was validated for the study of bioactive amines in chicken meat. A gradient elution system with an ultraviolet detector was used after extraction with trichloroacetic acid and pre-column derivatization with dansyl chloride. Putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine, and spermine standards were used for the evaluation of the following performance parameters: selectivity, linearity, precision, recovery, limits of detection, limits of quantification and ruggedness. The results indicated excellent selectivity, separation of all amines, a coefficient of determination greater than 0.99 and recovery from 92.25 to 102.25% at the concentration of 47.2mg.kg-1, with a limit of detection at 0.3mg.kg-1 and a limit of quantification at 0.9mg.kg-1 for all amines, with the exception of histamine, which exhibited the limit of quantification, of 1mg.kg-1. In conclusion, the performance parameters demonstrated adequacy of the method for the detection and quantification of bioactive amines in chicken meat.

RESUMO Um método de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) para pesquisa de aminas bioativas em carne de frango foi validado. Foi utilizado um sistema de gradiente de eluição com detector ultravioleta, após extração com ácido tricloroacético e derivação pré-coluna com cloreto de dansila. Os padrões de putrescina, cadaverina, histamina, tiramina, espermidina e espermina foram utilizados para avaliação dos seguintes parâmetros de desempenho: seletividade, linearidade, precisão, recuperação, limites de detecção, limites de quantificação e robustez. Os resultados mostraram excelente seletividade e separação de todas as aminas, coeficiente de determinação superior a 0,99, recuperação entre 92,25 e 105,25% na concentração 47,2mg.kg-1, limites de detecção de 0,3mg.kg-1 e limite de quantificação de 0,9mg.kg-1 para todas as aminas, com exceção da histamina, que apresentou o limite de quantificação mais alto, de 1mg.kg-1. Foi concluído que os parâmetros de desempenho demonstraram adequação do método para detecção e quantificação de aminas bioativas em carne de frango.

Validation of chromatographic methods: evaluation of detection and quantification limits in the determination of impurities in omeprazole.

Marcelo Ribani, Carla B G Bottoli, Frank H Collins (2007)

To guarantee that an analytical procedure gives reliable, exact and interpretable information about a sample, it must be validated. Two ambiguous parameters are detection limit and quantification limit. The determination of these limits is still of great concern and there are still a variety of procedures described in the current literature. The fundamental objective of the present work is to apply the different recommendations suggested by official guidelines for the quantitative determination of omeprazole and its impurities (omeprazole sulphone and 5-hydroxy-omeprazole) in capsules and tablets using high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. The importance of calibration linearity in the context of the quantification limit is considered, since one of the approaches, the estimated concentrations of this limit, are deduced from the regression line. The values of the detection limit and the quantification limit obtained show that, in chromatographic analyses, the best method is that based on the use of the parameters obtained from the analytical curve, which are statistically reliable. It was shown that smaller values of the detection limit and the quantification limit were obtained by the visual approach and by the method using the signal-to-noise ratio. However, these values may reflect a subjective evaluation, prone to error and large variations. This was confirmed by showing that these methods result in values that fall outside the linear range of the method.
