PG - 127472 LID - S0308-8146(20)31334-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.foodchem.2020.127472 [doi] AB - Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are naturally occurring plant toxins associated with severe liver damage if excessive ingestion. Herein, a novel analytical strategy on utilizing direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) was developed, and applied in analysis of six representative PAs. The calibration curves in the range of 10-1000 ng.mL(-1) were established, and relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 10%. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) were 0.55-0.85 ng.mL(-1) and 1.83-2.82 ng.mL(-1), respectively. The feasibility of method was indicated by analysing real samples including Gynura japonica, drug tablets, granules, and fresh cow's milk. Moreover, the results of DART-MS were in good agreement with those observed by high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), but consumed less time without chromatographic separation. This research provides a facile fashion for safety assessment of herbal and food products containing PAs and presents promising applications in food, pharmaceutical and clinical analysis.
