Popis: | A wide-scope analytical method was developed and validated for the determination of tropane alkaloids (TAs) in honey samples. A simple and fast extraction procedure, using a mixture of methanol/water/formic acid (75/25/0.4, v/v/v) as extraction solvent, followed by a clean-up with graphitized black carbon (GBC) and magnesium sulphate was optimized, and compounds were analysed by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS-Orbitrap). Validation of the proposed method provided adequate linearity (R2 > 0.99), trueness (recoveries 71–120%) and precision (relative standard deviation, RSD ≤ 20.1%), with limits of quantitation (LOQs) at 20 µg/kg (except anisodamine and scopolamine at 40 µg/kg) and a significant matrix effect (≤−50%). Nineteen honey samples were analysed, but only one was positive, containing 27 µg/kg of scopolamine. Additionally, a post-targeted screening was performed, and 47% of samples were contaminated with different herbicides, insecticides and veterinary drugs. Therefore, the proposed analytical method is a powerful tool for both targeted TAs and post-targeted contaminant analyses. |
