Abstract:Objective To establish a rapid method for the determination of 9,10-anthraquinone in tea by quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) method coupled with on-line gel permeation chromatography- gas chromatography-mass/mass spectrometry (GPC-GC-MS/MS), to detect the residue of 9,10-anthraquinone in tea sold in Hunan Province, and to analyze the detection results. Methods 9,10-anthraquinone was extracted with 1:1 cyclohexane-ethyl acetate, purified by QuEChERS method, analyzed and detected by on-line GPC-GC-MS/MS. The quantification was accomplished by internal standard method with d8-anthraquinone as the internal standard. Results 9,10-anthraquinone in tea showed a good linear relationship with the peak area in the concentration range of 1-100 μg/L. The linear equation was y =0.0311x-0.0023, and the correlation coefficient was 0.9997. The limit of detection (LOD) was 2 μg/kg, and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) 5 μg/kg. The recoveries ranged from 75.8% to 98.4%, with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.6%-6.6% (n=6). It was found that there was a certain degree of 9,10-anthraquinone pollution in tea sold in 14 cities in Hunan Province, and the exceeding standard rate was high. Among them, the median values of dark tea and black tea were 35.1 μg/kg and 25.9 μg/kg, respectively, and their pollution degrees were significantly higher than those of oolong tea and green tea. Conclusion The method has the characteristics of high automation, fast and simple pretreatment, low solvent consumption, high sensitivity and qualitative and quantitative accuracy. It is suitable for the rapid screening of 9,10-anthraquinone in large quantities of tea samples.
