    Development and Validation of a HS-SPME-GC-SIM-MS Multi-Method Targeting Hop-Derived Esters in Beer

    No full text
    Hop-derived esters contribute to beer flavor and changes in the ester spectrum are believed to be an important driver in the flavor–instability of hoppy beers. To date, there exists no published method that enables reliable quantification of hop-derived esters in beer. As the availability of such a method is vital to enlarge the understanding of beer flavor stability, the current article is concerned with the development, validation, and application of a headspace solid phase microextraction gas chromatography selected ion monitoring mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-SIM-MS) based methodology for quantification of 16 hop-derived esters in beer. The validation data shows that choosing suitable HS-SPME-GC-SIM-MS conditions enabled reliable quantification of esters across a range of 1–200 µg/L, with calculated limits of quantification being well below 1 µg/L. Spiking experiments using terpenes and terpenoids evidenced method robustness, most importantly when two commercially available stable isotope labeled internal standards (d6-geranyl acetate and 13C-methyl octanoate) were used. Application to beer samples indicated that beers brewed with different qualities/quantities of hops and differing in freshness could be well differentiated by HS-SPME-GC-SIM-MS analysis of their ester profile.

    Multiresidue Pesticide Analysis in Fresh Produce by Capillary Gas Chromatography−Mass Spectrometry/Selective Ion Monitoring (GC-MS/SIM) and −Tandem Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS/MS)

    A multiresidue method for the analysis of pesticides in fresh produce has been developed using salt-out acetonitrile extraction, solid-phase dispersive cleanup with octadecyl-bonded silica (C18), and graphitized carbon black/primary−secondary amine (GCB/PSA) sorbents and toluene, followed by capillary gas chromatography−mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring mode (GC-MS/SIM) or −tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Quantitation was determined from calibration curves using matrix-matched standards ranging from 3.3 to 6667 ng/mL with r2 > 0.99, and geometric mean limits of quantitation were typically 8.4 and 3.4 μg/kg for GC-MS/SIM and GC-MS/MS, respectively. Identification was determined by using target and qualifier ions and qualifier-to-target ratios for GC-MS/SIM and two ion transitions for GC-MS/MS. Fortification studies (10, 25, 100, and 500 μg/kg) were performed on 167 organohalogen, organophosphorus, and pyrethroid pesticides in 10 different commodities (apple, broccoli, carrot, onion, orange, pea, peach, potato, spinach, and tomato). The mean percent recoveries were 90 ± 14, 87 ± 14, 89 ± 14, and 92 ± 14% for GC-MS/SIM and 95 ± 22, 93 ± 14, 93 ± 13, and 97 ± 13% for GC-MS/MS at 10, 25, 100, and 500 μg/kg, respectively. GC-MS/MS was shown to be more effective than GC-MS/SIM due to its specificity and sensitivity in detecting pesticides in fresh produce samples. The method, based on concepts from the multiresidue procedure used by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe), was shown to be efficient in screening, identifying, and quantitating pesticides in fresh produce samples

    Validated LC–MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of SIM and its acid form in human plasma and cell lysate: Pharmacokinetic application

    AbstractSimvastatin (SIM) is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor widely used in hyperlipidemia therapy. SIM has recently been studied for its anticancer activity at doses higher than those used for the hyperlipidemia therapy. This prompted us to study the pharmacokinetics of high-dose SIM in cancer patients. For this purpose, an LC–MS/MS method was developed to measure SIM and its acid form (SIMA) in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from patients. Chromatographic analyte separation was carried out on a reverse-phase column using 75:25 (% v/v) acetonitrile:ammonium acetate (0.1M, pH 5.0) mobile phase. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, equipped with a turbo ion spray source and operated in positive ionization mode. The assay was linear over a range 2.5–500ng/mL for SIM and 5–500ng/mL for SIMA in plasma and 2.5–250ng/mL for SIM and 5–250ng/mL for SIMA in cell lysate. Recovery was >58% for SIM and >75% for SIMA in both plasma and cell lysate. SIM and SIMA were stable in plasma, cell lysate and the reconstitution solution. This method was successfully applied for the determination of SIM and SIMA in plasma and PBMCs samples collected in the pharmacokinetic study of high-dose SIM in cancer patients
