Abstract

A confirmatory method has been developed for determination of 13 sulfonamides in edible tissues. The assay involves extraction from a solution resulting from a screening procedure by liquid chromatography and subsequent derivatization. Sulfachloropyridazine (SCP), sulfadiazine (SDA), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamethazine (SMZ), sulfamerazine (SME), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfamethoxypyridazine (SMP), sulfapyridine (SPR), sulfaquinoxaline (SQX), and sulfathiazole (STA) were detected as the N1-methyl-N4-trifluoroacetyl derivatives, sulfaguanidine (SGU) as the same derivative after cyclization by hexafluoroacetylacetone, and sulfacetamide (SAC) as the methyl derivative. These sulfonamides were detected by gas chromatography and pulsed positive ion-negative ion-chemical ionization mass spectrometry with methane as the reactant gas, whereas sulfanilamide (SAA) was determined as the methyl derivative by electron-impact ionization.
