Effect of protein on the detection of fluoroquinolone residues in fish meat

Using fish serum albumin (FSA) as the model protein, molecular fluorescence spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were applied to study the effect of protein on the extraction of fluoroquinolone (FQ) residues in fish meat. There was a strong interaction between FQs and protein through hydrogen bonds, which could be broken as protein degenerated with 60-100% (v/v) acetonitrile acid solution, and FQs bound with protein were released in various degrees. On the basis of the results, a novel sample preparation procedure loosely based on QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) methodology was developed for the determination of FQ residues in fish muscle samples, using 90% (v/v) acetonitrile acid solution as the extractant, combined with a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) cleanup step. Mean recoveries of four FQs from spiked samples at a concentration range of 50-200 ng g(-1) were 73.3-95.9% with relative standard deviations (RSD) lower than 10.7%.     

Biosensor technology and surface plasmon resonance for real-time detection of genetically modified Roundup Ready soybean gene sequences

Biospecific interaction analysis (BIA) was performed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and biosensor technologies to detect genetically modified Roundup Ready soybean gene sequences. We first immobilized, on SA sensor chips, single-stranded biotinylated oligonucleotides containing soybean lectin and Roundup Ready gene sequences, and the efficiency of hybridization to oligonucleotide probes differing in length was determined. Second, we immobilized biotinylated PCR products from nontransgenic soybeans (genomes carrying only the lectin gene), as well as from genetically modified Roundup Ready soybean, and we injected the oligonucleotide probes. Furthermore, we used the sensor chips carrying either lectin and Roundup Ready soybean PCR products or 21-mer oligonucleotide as probes, and we injected both nonpurified and purified asymmetric PCR products. The results obtained show that 13 and 15 mer oligonucleotides are suitable probes to detect genetically modified Roundup Ready soybean gene sequences (either target oligonucleotides or PCR products) under standard BIA experimental conditions. By contrast, when 11 mer DNA probes were employed, no efficient hybridization was obtained. All the SPR-based formats were found to be useful for detection of Roundup Ready gene sequences, suggesting that these procedures are useful for the real-time monitoring of hybridization between target single-stranded PCR products, obtained by using as substrates DNA isolated from normal or transgenic soybeans, and oligonucleotide or PCR-generated probes, therefore enabling a one-step, nonradioactive protocol to perform detection.     

A group-specific microbiological test for the detection of tetracycline residues in raw milk

The potentiality of using a luminescent Escherichia coli strain for the specific detection of tetracycline residues in raw bovine milk was investigated. The sensor cells contain a reporter plasmid carrying the bacterial luciferase operon of Photorhabdus luminescens under the control of the tetracycline responsive control region from transposon Tn10. Incubation of the cells with the sample containing tetracyclines increases the light emission of the sensor cells. The most sensitive tetracycline detection was achieved in 120 min and by using CDTA as a chelating agent in the assay. Heat-treatment of milk before the assay decreased the variations in background luminescence signals and in tetracycline-induced luminescence between different milk samples. The detection limits for tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline, doxycycline, methacycline, demeclocycline, and minocycline were between 2 and 35 ng/mL. Nontetracycline antibiotics did not significantly interfere with the detection of tetracyclines.     

Determination of beta-lactams in milk using a surface plasmon resonance-based biosensor

Two surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensor assays for detection of beta-lactam antibiotics in milk are reported. The assays are based on the enzymatic activity of a carboxypeptidase converting a 3-peptide into a 2-peptide, a reaction that is inhibited in the presence of beta-lactams. Antibodies were used to measure either the amount of formed enzymatic product or the amount of remaining enzymatic substrate. Both assays detected different beta-lactams at or below European maximum residue limits (MRLs), and the detection limit for penicillin G was 1.2 microg/kg and 1.5 microg/kg for the 2- and 3-peptide assays, respectively. The precision (CV) was < 5%, both within and between assays at the penicillin G MRL (4 microg/kg). The biosensor results obtained upon analysis of incurred milk samples were compared with results obtained by liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the method agreements were, in general, good.     

Protein-lipid interactions in zein films investigated by surface plasmon resonance

Experiments on the adsorption of alpha-zein (characterized by SDS-PAGE) from aqueous ethanol and 2-propanol solutions onto hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces are reported. Zein adsorption onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) was detected by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Gold substrates were prepared by thermal evaporation on glass slides. Gold-coated surfaces were modified by depositing SAMs of either a long-chain carboxylic acid terminated thiol [COOH(CH2)(10)SH] or a methyl-terminated alkanethiol [CH3(CH2)(7)SH]. Experimental measurements indicated that zein interacted with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. Zein concentration affected the thickness of bound zein layers. The estimated thickness of the zein monolayer deposited on hydrophilic surfaces was 4.7 nm. Zein monolayer thickness on hydrophobic surfaces was estimated at 4.6 nm. The topography of zein layers was examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) after solvent was evaporated. Surface features of zein deposits depended on the adsorbing surface. On hydrophilic surfaces, roughness values were high and distinct ring-shaped structures were observed. On hydrophobic surfaces, zein formed a uniform and featureless coverage.     

Chromatographic methods for determination of macrolide antibiotic residues in tissues and milk of food-producing animals

Tylosin, an antibiotic developed specifically for agricultural use, and erythromycin are the main macrolide antibiotics used in animal production. Two-dimensional thin layer chromatography has been used for detection of tylosin in poultry meat, eggs, and milk and for erythromycin in poultry meat. Detection limits reported are, for tylosin, 0.1 ppm in poultry meat, 0.05 ppm in egg, and 0.01 ppm in milk, and for erythromycin, 0.25 ppm in poultry meat. Liquid chromatography (LC) has also been used for determination of tylosin in milk, blood, and tissues of animals. Samples (milk, blood serum, or tissue homogenates in water or pH 2.2 buffer) were deproteinized with acetonitrile, tylosin was partitioned into methylene chloride, and the extracts were concentrated and dissolved in acetonitrile. Chromatography was done on a reverse phase end-capped C18 column using 0.002-0.005 M ammonium dihydrogen phosphate-acetonitrile-methanol (10 + 60 + 30-5 + 80 + 15). Solvent composition was varied with the type of sample analyzed. The method will detect 0.1 ppm tylosin in tissues and less in milk and blood serum. The LC method was more sensitive than microbiological assays for detection of tylosin in tissues of treated swine; recoveries of tylosin by the LC method were frequently several-fold higher.

Screening and mass spectral confirmation of beta-lactam antibiotic residues in milk using LC-MS/MS.

Milk is typically screened for beta-lactam antibiotics by nonspecific methods. Although these methods are rapid and sensitive, they are not quantitative and can yield false positive findings. A sensitive and specific method for the quantitation and mass spectral confirmation of five beta-lactam and two cephalosporin antibiotics commonly or potentially used in the dairy industry is described using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The antibiotics studied were ampicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin G, penicillin V, cloxacillin, cephapirin, and ceftiofur. The antibiotics were extracted from milk with acetonitrile, followed by reversed-phase column cleanup. The extract was analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer, using a water/methanol gradient containing 1% acetic acid on a C-18 reversed-phase column. Determination was by positive ion electrospray ionization and ion trap tandem mass spectrometry. Quantitation was based on the most abundant product ions from fragmentation of the protonated ion for amoxicillin, cephapirin, ampicillin, and ceftiofur and on the fragmentation of the sodium adduct for penicillin G, penicillin V, and cloxacillin. The method was validated at the U.S. FDA tolerance or safe level and at 5 or 2.5 ng/mL for these compounds in bovine milk. Theoretical method detection limits in milk based on a 10:1 signal to noise ratio were 0.2 ng/mL (ampicillin), 0.4 ng/mL (ceftiofur), 0.8 ng/mL (cephapirin), 1 ng/mL (amoxicillin and penicillin G), and 2 ng/mL (cloxacillin and penicillin V) using a nominal sample size of 5 mL.     

Determination of five macrolide antibiotic residues in raw milk using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

A confirmatory method using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry for determination of five macrolide antibiotics including spiramycin, tilmicosin, oleandomycin, erythromycin, and tylosin in raw milk is presented. Macrolides were extracted from raw milk by acetonitrile, and sample extracts were further cleaned up using solid-phase extraction cartridges. Data acquisition was achieved using multiple reaction monitoring, that is, two transitions, to provide a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. Matrix-matched standard calibration curves with the use of roxithromycin as an internal standard were utilized to achieve the best accuracy of the method. Both a conventional validation procedure and a designed experiment were applied to study the accuracy and precision of the method. The measurement uncertainty arising from accuracy and precision was estimated. The method accuracy, expressed as a percentage of overall recovery, was approximately 100%, and its intermediate precision was <10%. LC-ESI/MS/MS method detection limits (S/N > or = 3:1) of five macrolides were <0.3 microg/kg.     

Topography of the casein micelle surface by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) using a selection of specific monoclonal antibodies

Several theoretical models of the casein micelle structure have been proposed in the past, but the exact organization of the four individual caseins (α(s1), α(s2), β, and κ) within this supramolecular structure remains unknown. The present study aims at determining the topography of the casein micelle surface by following the interaction between 44 monoclonal antibodies specific for different epitopes of α(s1)-, α(s2)-, β-, and κ-casein and the casein micelle in real time and no labeling using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensor. Although the four individual caseins were found to be accessible for antibody binding, data confirmed that the C-terminal extremity of κ-casein was highly accessible and located at the periphery of the structure. When casein micelles were submitted to proteolysis, the C-terminal extremity of κ-casein was rapidly hydrolyzed. Disintegration of the micellar structure resulted in an increased access for antibodies to hydrophobic areas of α(s1)- and α(s2)-casein.     

Methods for determination of ionophore-type antibiotic residues in animal tissues

Methods for the analysis of polyether antibiotics in animal tissues and fluids are described. For monensin and nigericin, only methods based on bioautography are available. For lasalocid, in addition to TLC bioautography for quantitation in chicken skin and fat, LC methods based on fluorescence detection have been developed for quantitation in animal blood, milk, liver, skin, and fat. In addition, a confirmatory method for lasalocid is described; this is based on purification by LC followed by silylation and pyrolysis gas chromatography-positive chemical ionization mass spectrometry.     

Immunochemical assays for direct sulfonamide antibiotic detection in milk and hair samples using antibody derivatized magnetic nanoparticles

Two direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed for detection of sulfonamide antibiotic residues in milk samples. One of them is using magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) for target capture/enrichment (Ab-MNP-ELISA), and the second is performed using microtiter plates. Selective polyclonal antibodies, raised against 5-[6-(4-amino-benzenesulfonylamino)-pyridin-3-yl]-2-methyl-pentanoic acid (SA1), used in combination with an enzyme tracer prepared with the same hapten, has allowed us to reach a limit of detection (LOD) lower than 0.5 microg L(-1) for both ELISA formats. Sulfapyridine, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfathiazole, and sulfachloropyridazine are detected below the maximum residue limits established by the European Union for these antibiotics in milk (100 microg L(-1)). Matrix effects and accuracy studies performed with full-cream milk and hair extracts indicated a lack of interference from these sample matrices and very good recovery values, especially when using the Ab-MNP format. Milk samples and hair extracts can be measured without any previous treatment. The results demonstrate the high potential of these methods as screening tools for food safety and inspection controls.

Methodology for quantifying residues of chlorhexidine in raw dairy milk

A residue method was developed as part of a pharmacokinetics study to determine the elimination of chlorhexidine in raw milk after intramammary infusion into dairy cows affected with bovine mastitis. The developed liquid/liquid and solid-phase extraction procedures effectively reduced sources of milk product interferences in the final extract. By optimizing mobile-phase pH buffer/acetonitrile gradient conditions and employing an end-capped reverse-phase polar embedded-phase chromatographic column, excellent peak resolution was achieved without the additional need of mobile-phase amine modifiers or ion-pairing reagents. The combined cleanup and chromatographic method steps reported herein were sensitive and reliable for determining the pharmacokinetic elimination of chlorhexidine following intramammary infusion. The residue method was found to be rugged with a lower detection limit of 0.1 ppm.

Quantification of beta casein in milk and cheese using an optical immunosensor

beta-Casein was quantified in milk and cheese, using an optical immunosensor, based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement. The assay consists of a two-step sandwich strategy, with two anti-beta-casein antibodies directed against each extremity of the casein. This strategy permits only native beta-casein to be quantified and not its degradation products. The calibration curve was obtained with a reference milk powder of known beta-casein concentration. The analysis time per sample was less than 10 minutes. The antibody-coated surface could be used for more than 250 determinations. The detection limit was established at 85 ng x mL(-)(1) and the intra- and inter-assay variation coefficients were 2.6 and 6.2% respectively. The method was applied to raw milk to quantify intact beta-casein, with no pretreatment of the sample. A second application was realized with cheese, to follow the proteolysis of beta-casein during ripening.
