Abstract

This paper proposes an analytical method for determining amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, benzo[g,h,i] perylene) in coffees beans. Soxhlet extraction and liquid/liquid extraction were tested for the quantification of seven PAHs. Soxhlet extraction was followed by cyclohexane extraction and used a silica cartridge. Liquid/liquid extraction was followed by n-hexane extraction and utilized a florisil cartridge. The extracts were analyzed by HPLC-fluorescence detection (FLD) with a Supelcosil LC-PAH column. The PAH recoveries ranged from 78.68 to 96.28% for the liquid/liquid extraction, and from 67.47 to 84.60% for the Soxhlet extraction.

원두커피의 PAHs 분석을 위한 시료 전처리는 Soxhlet 추출법과 액/액 추출법 두 가지로 하였다. 두 방법의 간단한 모식도는 Fig. 2을 통해 나타내었다. Soxhlet 추출법을 이용하여 추출한 후 비누화시켜 SPE cartridge로 silica cartridge를 사용하여 효과적으로 정제하였으며, 액/액 추출법은 먼저 비누화를 시킨 후 n-hexane을 이용하여 추출하고 florisil cartridge로 clean up 시킨 후 각각 HPLC-FLD를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이러한 두 가지 방법으로 진행된 실험의 결과 90% 이상의 회수율을 보인 것은 액/액 추출법의 B[a]A, Chrys이었고, 80% 이상의 회수율을 보인 것은 액/액 추출법의 B[b]F, B[k]F, B[a]P, DB[a,h]A과 Soxhlet 추출법의 B[a]A, Chrys으로 나타났으며, 그 외에는 약 70% 정도의 회수율을 나타내었다. 7종의 총 PAHs 회수율은 각각 Soxhlet 추출법은 74.25%이고 액/액 추출법 77.08%로 많은 차이를 보이진 않았지만 액/액 추출법이 더 높은 회수율을 나타내었다. 두 방법 모두에서 Chrys의 회수율이 가장 높았으며, 두 가지 방법을 비교하여 실험한 결과 많은 차이를 보이지는 않았지만 Soxhlet 추출법보다 액/액 추출법이 전처리에 소비되는 시간을 줄일 수 있었으며 또한 액/액 추출법에서 표준물질의 회수율도 높게 나타났다.
