Technical Name Establishment of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)QuEchERS methods for rapid determination of 15 + 1 EU priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in foodstuffs
Project Operator National Yang-Ming UniversityChina Medical University
Project Host 楊登傑 和 江舟峰
Summary
The  HPLC method we established is the fastest traditional method for 15 + 1 EU priority PAHs analysis (completed in 18 min),the LODLOQ of PAH4 are lower than those required by EU. The established QuEChERS method could rapid extract PAHs from various food matrices (completed in 30 min). The PAHs recoveries of all testing food matrixes also complied the PAH4 criteria set by EUTFDA.
Scientific Breakthrough
The  HPLC method we established is the fastest traditional method for 15 + 1 EU priority PAHs analysis (completed in 18 min),the LODLOQ of PAH4 are lower than those required by EU. The established QuEChERS method could rapid extract PAHs from various food matrices (completed in 30 min). The PAHs recoveries of all testing food matrixes also complied the PAH4 criteria set by EUTFDA.
Industrial Applicability
We have established a rapid HPLC method to simultaneously determine 15 + 1 EU priority PAHs within 18 min. We also established QuEchERS methods to rapidly extract PAHs from various food matrices (each sample can be processed in less than 30 min). These methods meet the requirements of TFDAEU,can be used by food industriesinspection companies to quickly monitor PAHs in products.
