Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the determination of aflatoxin in Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid through the optimization of extraction, purification and gradient elution prcedures.
METHODS The sample extract was purified by automatic solid phase extraction with immunoaffinity column.And the AF was detected in 55 batches of Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid from 18 manufacturing enterprises nationwide by HPLC and on line post column photochemical derivatization fluorescence.
RESULTS AFB
1, AFB
2, AFG
1 and AFG
2 had a good linear relationship within 0.545–2.725, 0.195–0.975, 0.495–2.475, 0.320–1.600 ng∙mL
–1 respectively.And the average recoveries of them were 94.90%, 98.49%, 94.17% and 92.06% respectively.AF was not detected in 55 batches of Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid.
CONCLUSION The method can effectively remove impurities and eliminate chromatographic interference, and can be used for quantitative analysis of aflatoxin in Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid.Although AF is not detected in 55 batches of samples, it is suggested to increase the determination of AF in order to improve the safety in view of the risk of contamination of prescription pieces.
