Abstract

Using a Hitachi LaChrom Ultra 2000U, a reverse phase ultra high performance liquid chromatography (u-HPLC) method was developed for the rapid quantification of 14 PAHs in foods. The proposed method for PAH analysis is based on solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges; the determination was carried out by u-HPLC with fluorimetric detection. The method was very sensitive; PAH concentration levels were in a low μg/kg range and could be detected and quantified. Six samples of food were analyzed. Among PAHs, PHE was found in most of samples, the concentration ranging from 2.5 to 19.9 μg/kg. The contents of benzo[c]fluorine (BCL),pyrene (PYR), benzo[a]anthracene (BaA), chrysene (CHR), benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF), benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF) were low at the ‘μg/kg’ level or were less than LOD.
