A simple, rapid method for determining amoxicillin (AMO) and ampicillin (AMP) in aquatic products (flatfish, salmon, shrimp, tilapia, and yellow croaker) was evaluated. For quantification, the AMO and AMP ions at m/z 348.9 and 105.9, respectively, were selected. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for detecting AMO were 0.09 and 0.25 μg/L, respectively. The respective values for AMP were 0.02 and 0.05 μg/L. After 100 μg/L AMO treatment, the level decreased 10% after 7 days at 5 ℃ , while it decreased 20% at 25 ℃ . After 7 days, 94.9-100% of 100 μg/L AMP remained after storage at 5 ℃ , while 62.3-100% remained after storage at 25 ℃ . Using the food code method, the recovery of AMO ranged from 64.1-92.0% and that of AMP from 44.8-86.2%. With a protein centrifugation method, the recovery of AMO ranged from 39.8-87.9% and that of AMP from 78.0-98.1%. With liquid-liquid extraction, the recovery of AMO ranged from 36.5-88.3% and that of AMP from 31.8-75.1%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
