Abstract

The internal standard method using ion chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (IC-MS/MS) for quantifying perchlorate in different types of food was established. Because the presence of ions and other biomolecules in matrices usually interrupts accurate determination of perchlorate, it is necessary to develop efficient, reproducible method to determine perchlorate concentrations in food. In this study, the internal standard method was compared with the external standard method to determine perchlorate concentrations in standard samples. The obtained method detection limit (MDL) for perchlorate was 0.005 ${\mu}g/L$ for bottled water, 0.12 ${\mu}g/L$ for milk, 0.27 ${\mu}g/kg$ for rice, 0.16 ${\mu}g/kg$ for vegetables, and 0.07 ${\mu}g/kg$ for seaweed, respectively. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was calculated by multiplying the MDL by 7. The recoveries of perchlorate from food samples spiked with perchlorate ranged from 98 to 105% and their percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) levels were <20%. This method was successfully applied for the quantitative determination of perchlorate in various kinds of food.

본 연구에서는 IC-MS/MS 시스템에 내부표준물질($^{35}Cl^{18}O_4^-$)을 이용하여 식품에서의 정확한 perchlorate 분석을 위한 최적화된 전처리 방법을 제시하였다. Perchlorate를 분석하기 위한 식품의 전처리는 미국 FDA에서 제안하는 perchlorate 분석을 위한 식품 전처리 방법을 변형하여 더욱 재현성이 높은 방법을 제시하였으며, 제시된 분석법의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위한 유효성의 검토는 음용수, 우유 및 분유, 쌀, 채소류, 해조류 등 다양한 식품들을 대상으로 MDL과 LOQ를 설정하여 외국의 사례와 비교 확인하였다. 또한 시료에 표준물질을 첨가하여 회수율 및 재현성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 수행된 5 ${\mu}g/L$ 및 5, 10 ${\mu}g/kg$의 perchlorate 회수율 시험 결과 모든 시료에서 %RSD는 적합범위(<20%) 내에 포함되었고 평균 %RSD는 6.4%로 나타났으며, %Recovery도 98-105%로 적합한(80% < x < 120%) 범위로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 정확한 perchlorate 분석을 위한 식품 시료의 전처리 방법은 반복 분석을 통한 시험의 정확도 및 재현성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 다른 식품에 대한 perchlorate 분석에도 적용하여 관련분야 연구에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
