Abstract
Glyphosate and glufosinate are the most widely used herbicides worldwide. We developed a simple and rapid analytical method for detecting glyphosate, glufosinate, and their metabolites (N-acetyl glyphosate: Gly-A, N-acetyl glufosinate: Glu-A, and 3-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)propanoic acid: MPPA) in soybeans. The method involved extraction with water, trapping in a mini-column containing polymer-based resin with strong anion exchange groups, dehydration with acetonitrile, and solid-phase analytical derivatization at ambient temperature for 1 min using N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyl trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA), followed by Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) determination. This method offers a straightforward and rapid analysis, using on-solid phase dehydration and rapid derivatization at an ambient temperature with MTBSTFA, yielding reliable results for glyphosate, glufosinate, and their metabolites. The method was applied to both domestic and imported soybean samples. Glyphosate, glufosinate, and Glu-A were detected in imported feed soybeans and processed soybean meal for feed use, reflecting the current conditions of GM soybean cultivation.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
