Abstract

An effective ion-pair-based surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been evaluated for the extraction and preconcentration of four heterocyclic aromatic amines (i.e., 2-amino-3,4-dimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ); 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (4,8-DiMeIQx); 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP); and 1-methyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-B]indole (Harmane)). In the extraction method, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used as both ion-pairing and disperser agent and 1-octanol was selected as extraction solvent. The effects of various parameters on the extraction efficiency such as kind and concentration of surfactant, kind and volume of extraction, salt addition, vortex extraction, and centrifugation time were investigated. Under the selected condition, the method provided high enrichment factor in the ranged of 124–145. Good linearity was 0.01–1000 μg kg−1 with the correlation coefficient (R 2) > 0.999. The limit of detection was 0.01 μg kg−1 for all compounds. The matrix match calibration was used for quantitation of the target analytes in grilled pork samples. The proposed method was successfully applied to analysis of heterocyclic aromatic amines in grilled pork samples where good recoveries were obtained in the range of 90 and 106 %.
