[Determination of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin residues in honey by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry].

An analytical method was developed for the determination of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin in honey using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS). The streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin residues in the test samples were extracted with 20 g/L trichloroacetic acid aqueous solution (including 50 mmol/L phosphate, pH 6.8) and cleaned on an Oasis HLB solid phase extraction column. The products were separated on a SIELC Obelisc R column with gradient elution using 0.5% (v/v) formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as mobile phases. Streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin were detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ion mode using the external standard method. Under the optimal conditions, streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin showed good linearity (r>0.99) in the range of 2.5-100 μg/L. The LOD and LOQ of the method was 2.0 μg/kg and 5.0 μg/kg, respectively. The spiked recoveries of the analytes from blank honey samples at the three levels of 5.0, 20.0 and 100.0 μg/kg were in the range of 86.9%-113.2% with the relative standard deviations less than 10%. With the advantages of convenience, rapidity, sensitivity and good repeatability, the method is suitable for the detection of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin in honey.
