Description

<p>We examined the expansion of target food products for the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). From our studies in fish using an accelerated solvent extractor (ASE) and GC-MS/MS, we found that recovery of low-chlorinated PCBs (some isomer of 3 or 4 chlorinated PCBs) in specific food products was low. Therefore, we attempted to improve the analytical method. In Japanese sea perch (Suzuki) and milk, freeze drying before extracting with ASE did not sufficiently improve the recovery of low-chlorinated PCBs; however, it was significantly improved by changing the column to a silica gel/H2SO4 silica gel multilayer column. To evaluate this method for other food products, PCBs in fish, meat, eggs, milk, and dairy products were analyzed. The samples were extracted using ASE at 125℃ with n-hexane, cleaned up using a silica gel/H2SO4 silica gel multilayer column, and analyzed by GC-MS/MS for 3–7 chlorinated PCBs. The limit of quantification for this method was was 0.03–0.16 μg/kg for the 3–7 chlorinated PCBs. The recovery and the coefficient of variation of 3–7 chlorinated PCBs from each of the food products (n=5) was in the range of 84%–112% and 1%–9%, respectively.</p>
