Polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofiber membrane based solid-phase extraction for monitoring administered aminoglycoside antibiotics in various animal-derived foods.

Abstract

This work aims to develop a widely applicable method to monitor administered AGs in various animal-derived food samples to ensure food safety. A polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofiber membrane (PVA NFsM) was synthesized and employed as solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent, in combination with UPLC-MS/MS, for the simultaneous detection of ten AGs in nine types of animal-derived food samples. PVA NFsM exhibited excellent adsorption performance for the targets (with an adsorption rate of over 91.09%), good matrix purification ability (with a reduction of 7.65%-77.47% in matrix effect after SPE), and good recyclability (can be reused 8 times). The method displayed a linear range of 0.1-25000μg/kg and attained limits of detection for AGs were 0.03-15μg/kg. Spiked samples demonstrated a recovery of 91.72%-100.04% with a precision of<13.66%. The practicality of the developed method was verified by testing multiple actual samples.
