Abstract

This study describes for the first time the development and validation of an extraction procedure for the quantification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in coated deep-fried products by liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection. The method entailed the extraction of HMF with ethyl acetate/hexane (4:1) followed by a concentration step with 40 mM sodium formate (pH = 3)/methanol (1:1). The optimum combination of the extraction variables was achieved by response surface methodology. Sample amount and concentration solvent volume showed a notable influence on HMF yield, while the effect of extraction solvent volume seemed to be less marked. From experimental results, 5 g of sample, 10 ml of the extraction solvent, and 550 μl of the concentration solvent were selected as optimal combination. The consistency between predicted and experimented values as well as in the quality parameters was observed. Quantities of HMF in coated deep-fried fish products were 1.25 ± 0.21 μg g−1.
