Abstract:A method for simultaneous determination of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in barbecued meat was developed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). Samples were ultrasonically extracted, and the extract was purified by molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE), separated by HPLC and quantified by external standard method. The results showed that the concentration of 15 PAHs in the range from 1 to 50 ng/mL was linear with the chromatographic peak area with correlation coefficients (r) more than 0.999 5. Average recoveries at spiking levels of 5.0, 10.0 and 25.0 μg/kg ranged from 71.1% to 98.8% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 1.0% to 5.8%. The detection limits (RS/N = 3) varied from 0.33 to 3.30 μg/kg and the quantitation limits (RS/N = 10) from 1.0 to 10.0 μg/kg.
