Description
Summary:In this study, two analytical procedures were developed and validated using dual-channel capillary electrophoresis-coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-C4D) followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) for simultaneous determination of glyphosate (GLYP), glufosinate (GLUF), and their two major metabolites, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) and 3-(methylphosphinico) propionic acid (MPPA), respectively, in a popular beverage such as tea infusions. GLYP, GLUF, and AMPA were analyzed in the first channel using background electrolyte (BGE) of 1 mM histidine (His) adjusted to pH 2.75 by acetic acid (Ace). In contrast, MPPA was quantified in the second channel with a BGE of 30 mM His adjusted to pH 6.7 by 3-(N-morpholino) propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) and 10 µM of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). In addition, the samples of tea infusions were treated using SPE with 10 mL of 0.5 mM HCl in methanol as eluent. At the optimized conditions, the method detection limit (MDL) of GLYP, GLUF, AMPA, and MPPA is 0.80, 1.56, 0.56, and 0.54 μg/l, respectively. The methods were then applied to analyze four target compounds in 16 samples of tea infusions. GLYP was found in two infusion samples of oolong tea with concentrations ranging from 5.34 to 10.74 µg/L, and GLUF was recognized in three samples of green tea infusion in the range of 45.1–53.9 µg/L.
