In this study, the analytical method for 27 residual pharmaceuticals in raw water was developed. Online sample preconcentration/extraction and analysis with high resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/Orbitrap MS) were performed. The calibration curves showed good linearities (above $r^2$ = 0.998) in the range of 5 ~ 1,000 ng/L. The method detection limit and the limit of quantification were 1.1 ~ 10.0 ng/L and 3.4 ~ 31.7 ng/L, respectively. Recoveries of the target compounds were between 70.1% and 115.8% (except cefadroxil, cefradine, vancomycin, and iopromide (50.2 ~ 67.0%)). The optimized analytical method can be useful to determine the residual pharmaceuticals in raw water.

설사성패류독의 신속정밀 분석조건 확립을 위하여 LC-MS/MS를 사용하여 이동상, 분석용 column 및 collision energy 등을 변화시키면서 시험하였다. 50 mM formic acid와 2 mM ammonium formate가 함유된 acetonitrile 수용액을 이동상으로 사용하였을 때 OA와 DTX1이 검출되었다. Collision energy는 독소 성분에 따라 달리하는 것이 다성분 동시분석에 적합하였으며 OA와 DTX1 고유의 fragment ion들은 48 V 정도에서 최적의 intensity로 확인되었다. Column의 종류에 따라서는 $C_8$ column의 경우 OA, DTX1, DTX3, PTX2 및 YTX 모두 검출 가능하였으나 실제 검출 대상이 OA와 DTX1인 경우에는 일반적으로 사용되는 $C_{18}$ column도 적합한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 확립한 LC-MS/MS 분석 조건의 검출한계는 OA와 DTX1 모두 1 ng/g, 정량한계는 각각 3 ng/g이었고, 표준독 성분을 첨가한 시료에서 process efficiency는 굴의 경우 91-118%, 진주담치에서는 96-117%이었고, matrix의 영향은 거의 없었다. 마우스 시험에서 양성을 나타낸 시료를 LCMS/MS법으로 분석한 결과, 일부 시료에서만 OA 및 DTX1이 검출되어 두 시험법의 독성은 일치하지 않았으며 LC-MS/MS법은 마우스 시험법보다 하루 이상 분석시간을 단축할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 LC/MS 데이터로부터 동위 원소 패턴(isotope pattern)을 찾는 새로운 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 기존의 분석 방법에서는 LC/MS 데이터를 1차원적으로 분석하고 있기 때문에 2차원에서 적용할 수 있는 알고리즘을 적용하기가 어렵다. LC/MS 데이터를 2차원 영상으로 가시화해 본 결과, 하나의 동위 원소 패턴에 속하는 단일 동위 원소 피크(single isotope peak)는 모양, 크기와 같은 2차원 형태적 특징들도 유사함을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 기존의 방법들이 질량 스펙트럼과 같은 1차원 신호를 분석하는 것에 중점을 둔 것에 비해, 본 논문에서는 LC/MS 데이터를 2차원 신호 즉, 영상(image)으로 간주하고 영상 처리 방법과 객체 인식 방법을 적용하였다. 실험 결과 같은 동위 원소 패턴에 속하는 각각의 단일 동위원소 피크들 사이에 peak maxima position 뿐만 아니라 skewness, variance등도 유사였으며 이러한 유사도를 기반으로 동위 원소 패턴을 찾을 수 있었다.

We investigated the most effective pre-treatment processes and LC/MS/MS condition for microcystins analysis. With a step-by-step pre-treatment, efficiencies of several established methods were compared. At the level of cell burst, sonication method was found to be the most efficient. As a mycrocystins first extraction solvent, 5% acetic acid showed the highest efficiency. An isolation and recovery rate of mycrocystins of ODS Sep-Pak $C_{18}$ cartridge was higher than HLB SPE cartridge. As a final elution solvent from cartridge, 100% MeOH had a better efficiency than others. Using a LC/MS/MS, effective analytical methods were established. C18 reverse column was used and gradient elution was performed with using acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid as a mobile phase. We analysed to 0.8 mL/min flow rate fit to the $5{\mu}m$ particle size column and $55^{\circ}C$ housing temperature. The validity of established analytical method was evaluated that MDL as average $0.050{\pm}0.014{\mu}g/L$ and LOQ as average $0.160{\pm}0.045{\mu}g/L$ had a good sensitivity over 40 magnification rather than $2{\mu}g/L$ detection limit of HPLC.

In May 2012, a safety hazard issue arose because some kiwifruit growers in New Zealand had sprayed streptomycin to prevent kiwifruit canker. Therefore, for food safety management, analytical methods to determine streptomycin residues in kiwifruits are required. We developed an analytical method to determine streptomycin residues in kiwifruit samples using liquid chromatograph tandem mass spectrometer (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Streptomycin residues in samples were extracted using 1% formic acid in methanol, centrifugation for 10 min, and subsequent supernatant filtration. Purified samples were subjected to LC-ESI-MS/MS to confirm presence of and quantify streptomycin residues. Average streptomycin recoveries (6 replicates each sample) were in the range of 94.8%-110.6% with relative standard deviations of <10%. The linearity of the concentration range of 0.01-5.0 mg/kg using a matrix-matched calibration gave R² = 0.9995. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.01 mg/kg. Results showed that our analytical method is rapid, simple, and sensitive, with easy sample preparation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contamination level of representative mycotoxins that have adverse effects on livestock by using LC-MS/MS method and to utilize the results as basic data for the establishment of quality control system for feed, and to provide information on production and storage. A total of nine mycotoxins, including aflatoxin $B_1$, aflatoxin $B_2$, aflatoxin $G_1$, aflatoxin $G_2$, ochratoxin A, fumonisin $B_1$, fumonisin $B_2$, deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN) were simultaneously analyzed in LC-MS/MS under ESI positive mode. Fumonisin $B_1$ and fumonisin $B_2$ were detected from 3 cases of 75 forage produced in Incheon area, the detection rate was 4.0%. The detection concentration was 0.01~0.02 mg/kg, which was lower than the domestic recommended limit. Fumonisins were detected in a slightly different manner from the results of mycotoxin studies reported in Korea, which is attributed to the high temperature and dry summer weather of the year. The result of LC-MS/MS method performance of 9 mycotoxins, the recovery of DON was quite low as $41.53{\pm}3.91%$ that is not suitable for simultaneous analysis. This is probably due to that the extract solution used in this study was not suitable for the extraction of DON, along with the characteristics of a very dry forage. For the study of mycotoxins in Incheon area forage for the first time, further investigation is needed for the safe supply of livestock products.

We developed analytical methods using high performance chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of 80 unapproved compounds in dietary supplements. The target compounds for analysis were unapproved ingredients (e.g., pharmaceuticals) that have potential adverse effects on consumers owing to accidental misuse, overuse, and interaction with other medication in dietary supplement. Two analytical methods were tested to identify the optimal validation results according to AOAC guideline. As a result, limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.14-0.5 ㎍ mL^-1; linearity (r²) was ≥ 0.99; accuracy (expressed as recovery) was 78.9-114%; precision (relative standard deviation) was ≤ 4.28% in the HPLC method. In the LC-MS/MS method, LOQ was 0.01-2 ng mL^-1, linearity (r²) was ≥0.98, accuracy was 71.7-119%; precision was ≤ 12.5%. The developed methods were applied to 51 dietary supplements collected from 2019 to 2021 through MFDS alert system. Based on our previous monitoring study, major compounds were icariin, sibutramine, yohimbine, sildenafil, tadalafil, sennosides (A, B), cascarosides (A, B, C, D), and phenolphthalein. In this study, we re-analyzed samples of detected compounds, and evaluated the statistical difference using Bland-Altman analysis to compare two analytical approaches between HPLC and LC-MS/MS. These results showed a good agreement between two methods that can be used to monitor the unapproved ingredients in dietary supplements. The developed two methods are complementarily suitable for monitoring the adulteration of 80 unapproved compounds in dietary supplements.

A traditional herbal formula, Gyeji-tang has been used to treat the early colds, headache, chills, and fever in Asian countries. In this study, we were performed simultaneous determination of the 14 bioactive marker compounds, gallic acid, spinosin, paeoniflorin, albiflorin, liquiritin apioside, liquiritin, 6'''-feruloylspinosin, liquilitigenin, coumarin, cinnmamic acid, benzoylpaeoniflorin, cinnamaldehyde, glycyrrhizin, and 6-gingerol in Gyeji-tang using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). Analytical column was used a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ analytical column ($2.1{\times}100mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$) and maintained at $45^{\circ}C$ with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The mobile phase consists of 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile with gradient elution. The MS analysis was conducted using multiple reaction monitoring in the positive and negative modes by a Waters ACQUITY TQD LC-MS/MS system. The calibration curves of 14 bioactive marker compounds showed linearity with correlation coefficients ${\geq}0.9798$. The limits of detection and quantification values were in the range of 0.11-6.66 ng/mL and 0.34-19.99 ng/mL, respectively. As a result of the analysis using the established LC-MS/MS method, the amounts of tested 14 compounds in the lyophilized Gyeji-tang sample were detected up to $85.7{\mu}g/g$. These results may be useful for quality assessment of a traditional herbal formulas.

생약 중 잔류농약의 안전성을 확보하기 위해 metalaxyl에 대해 백출과 우슬의 잔류농약 분석법을 개발하고자 하였다. LC-MS/MS를 사용하여 QuEChERS법을 기반으로 백출과 우슬 중 metalaxyl을 분석하기 위하여 물로 습윤화 시켜 acetonitirile로 추출하여 MgSO₄와 NaCl을 첨가해 층 분리 후 SPE-NH₂ cartridge로 정제하였다. 본 분석법의 기기정량한계와 분석정량 한계는 0.002 ㎍/mL과 0.01 mg/kg이었고 표준검량선은 0.001-0.05 mg/L 범위에서 결정계수(R²) 0.999의 직선성을 확인하였다. 백출과 우슬에 대한 회수율은 MLOQ 수준, MLOQ의 10배 수준에서 88.1-109.1%의 우수한 회수율을 보였고, 변이계수는 2.0-6.2%로 10%이하였다. 본 연구에서 확립한 LC-MS/MS를 이용한 잔류분석법의 회수율 및 분석오차는 국제적인 기준을 만족하고 있으므로 생약 백출 및 우슬 중 metalaxyl의 안전성 검사를 위한 분석법으로 활용할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.
