Abstract
Determination of monofluoroacetate in powdered nutritional products by derivatization with 2-nitrophenylhydrazine and LC-MS/MS IS discussed. Samples are prepared by dilution in water followed by protein precipitation with acetonitrile. An aliquot of the sample extract is derivatized with 2-nitrophenylhydrazine (2-NPH) in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(-3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). This reaction achieves the coupling of the carboxyl group of monofluoroacetate to the amino group of 2-NPH with the formation of an amide bond. Samples are processed through a solid-phase extraction (SPE) step in order to exchange.
