Abstract: | The cleanup procedure for the determination of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in food samples using a disposable pre-packed multi-layer silica gel column (multi-layer dioxin tube; D-tube) was evaluated. The blank test showed the need for conditioning of the column with n-hexane. To compare the method with the D-tube and the conventional method for the analyses of actual food samples, seven food samples (spinach, komatsuna, rice, salmon, beef, egg and butter) were extracted by shaking with acetone-n-hexane or n-hexane after alkaline treatment, and then the extracts were cleaned up by use of the D-tube or the prepared conventional column, followed by several column chromatographic steps. Both cleanup procedures gave similar values at each isomeric concentration level and showed similar efficiency with favorable recoveries. The results suggest that the D-tube is applicable to cleanup for the analysis of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in foods. |
