Simultaneous
detection of 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) and 3-indolepropionic
acid (IPA) in strong-aroma types of base Baijiu (base SAB) is crucial
for elucidating the metabolic pathway of 3-methylindole during the
base SAB brewing. Herein, a novel magnetic poly(allylamine)-modified
graphene oxide (GO@PAA@Fe3O4) was synthesized
as extraction sorbent, followed by high performance liquid chromatography
mass spectrometry HPLC-MS/MS. As a surface modifier of GO, the introduction
of PAA and Fe3O4 provided more adsorption sites
for IAA and IPA, mainly through the generation of H-bonding sites.
Moreover, modified by an activation step, the capacity of the activated
GO@PAA@Fe3O4 for the adsorption of IAA and IPA
was 2.1–3.4 times higher than that of unactivated material.
The adsorptions of IAA and IPA on GO@PAA@Fe3O4 were fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir
isotherm, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, IAA and IPA
were determined in 16-base SAB for the first time, and their concentrations
ranged from 0.6 to 11.3 and 0.7 to 18.7 μg/L, respectively.
