1 Dioxin, PCB analysis in fishmeal Comparison of two extraction techniques Abstract For the extraction of dioxins and PCBs from fish and derived products such as fish meal quite often classical soxhlet extraction is used. The disadvantages of classical soxhlet extraction are well known: time consuming and the usage of large volumes of solvent. The use of automated systems based on extraction under high pressure and high temperature or so called Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) is a major improvement however cost of these systems is relatively high and still the final volume is around ml. In this prelimary study a technique introduced in 1974 by E.L Randall (1) is compared with a method based on Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE). Extractions are performed with fishmeal, whereas the Randall extractions are performed with a fully automated system based on the Randall principle called the Solvent ExtractoR (SER-158), introduced by Velp Scientifica Introduction The detection of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fishmeal is of great importance especially from fish caught in contaminated areas such as the Baltic sea. Extraction is often done by classical soxhlet giving good results, however the technique is time and solvent consuming. In general extraction takes 18 hours and uses around ml solvent. A good alternative is the use of system based on pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). Although PLE is a fast and a useful technique, a frequently observed major drawback is blocking of tubing by high protein containing samples such as fishmeal. In order to achieve the requested low LOQs the method to be applied for fishmeal requires a sample intake of gram at least. Using a PLE system the ratio of sample to solvent using a standard cell =< 1:3 results in poor recoveries. Even in the case of multiple extraction cycles -up to three- the remained quite poor. This poor has been regularly observed not only in case of fishmeal samples but also for grass, hay silage and alike.
2 To test the recently introduced SER-158 system, DSP-systems performed experiments to see if this new automated system could be used for routine analysis. The SER-158 operates in subsequent extraction processes as follows (see figure 1). 1 IMMERSION 2 REMOVING 3 WASHING 4 RECOVERY 5 - COOLING Figure 1: Five step process of SER 158 fully automated extractor The first step is the so called immersion step. The sample, in a thimble, is immersed in the organic solvent which is boiled for at least one hour. During that process % of the compounds of interest are extracted from the sample. After typically 1 hour the system continues to the second step removing in which part of the extraction solvent is evaporated and transferred via a valve to the tank. In case of 100 ml extraction solvent, a reproducible 50% is evaporated by means of a special developed extraction cone The third step of the process washing is actually a classical hot soxhlet or twisselman extraction, assuring quantitative extraction of all compounds of interest. This step typically takes minutes. After the washing step is completed, almost all remaining solvent is removed from the glass extraction cup in the fourth step in the extraction process called removing. By constantly opening the valve to the solvent tank all condensed solvent is removed via the cone to the solvent tank. After all solvent is evaporated, heating of the samples is automatically terminated to prevent burning. The heating process is controlled individually per sample by means of sensors. When all solvent of the last sample in the system has been evaporated, all samples are lifted above the heating plate and after 5 minutes of cooling the extraction process has finished. Remark: After the sample is completely extracted and all solvent is removed the glass cup is still hot with a possible risk of evaporation of the compounds of interest or of irreversible adsorption on the glass wall. In case of fat containing samples (food and feed) the fat phase acts as a keeper minimizing this risk. In case of low or non-fat containing samples e.g. minerals, soil, sediment and alike it is advise to add 2ml dodecane to the extraction solvent. After the sample is completely extracted and all solvent is removed this 2 ml dodecane acts as keeper.
3 Purification of extracts For the purification of obtained extracts the in 2015 via DSP-Systems in Europe introduced new Japanese technology (5,6) was used. The main advantages of this new techniques are: Low solvent consumption (100ml per sample) Faster (concentration of 1.5 ml extracts only) Easy connection of columns Excellent clean-up due to high performance adsorbents and heated zones Unique way of flow switching without valves No cross contamination A B Figure 3: A Set up of the GO-xHT system capable of simultaneous purifying 2, 4 or 6 samples within 90 minutes. B Schematic diagram of the column flow channel of the GO-xHT system. Materials and methods Extraction A reference fishmeal sample, daily used in the laboratory for QA, was in fourfold extracted using: 1) Pressurised Liquid Extraction (Speedextractor Buchi) 2) Automated Solvent Extractor based on Randall principle (SER-158 Velp Scientifica) Ad gram of the sample was spiked with all relevant 13 C labelled congeners and mixed with hydromatrix. The mixture was transferred to the extraction cell and extracted with hexane/dichloromethane (1:1, v/v) at 100 C and 1500 PSI during 10 minutes. Followed by two additional cycles, total extraction time is 45 minutes. All extracts obtained after extraction with hexane/dichloromethane are concentrated down to 5-10 ml using a rotary evaporator. After addition of the 37 Cl-2,3,7,8-TCDD (clean-up standard) the final volume is made up to approximately 10 ml with hexane. Finally extracts are purified.
4 Ad gram of the sample was spiked with all relevant 13 C labelled congeners and mixed with hydromatrix. The mixture was transferred into a thimble and placed in the glass cups of the automated Solvent Extractor SER-158. The cups are filled via a dispenser with each 100 ml Hexane/DCM (1:1 v/v) *1 and the following five steps are automatically performed. 1. Immersion : Thimble with sample is placed in boiling solvent (60 min) 2. Removing : Solvent is evaporated until just below the thimble (10 min) *1 3. Washing : Classical hot soxhlet / twisselman extraction (60 min) 4. Recovery : Solvent is evaporated to near dryness (15 min) *1 5. Cooling : Glass cup is cooled (5 min) To each cup ml hexane is added as well as a clean-up standard e.g. 37 Cl-2,3,7,8-TCDD. Finally extracts are purified. *1 In case of compound feed, minerals, soil or alike the extraction solvent should consist of a mixture of toluene ethanol (3:7 v/v). Times for step 2 and 4 should be increased to respectively 15 and 30 minutes. As final extracts contains toluene a solvent exchange to hexane is necessary. Solvent transfer is done by adding 5 ml methanol to the extract. The formed azeotrope (Toluene/Methanol) with a boiling point of 65 C is again evaporated. The residue is dissolved in 10 ml hexane, 37 Cl 4-2,3,7,8-TCDD (clean-up standard) is added and the extracts are purified. Purification of extracts Clean-up is performed using the new purification technology (GO-xHT, Miura).For each extract a set of four in-line columns is required: silica gel impregnated with silver nitrate (1); silica gel impregnated with sulfuric acid (2); activated carbon (3) and alumina (4). Column 1 and 2 are used for purification of the extracts while the other two columns are used for trapping the compounds of interest. Extracts are transferred via a funnel to the first column (AgNO 3 Silica). Thereafter the set of columns and tubing is assembled and placed in the GO-xHT system, figure 3B. Column set is eluted with 90 ml of hexane with a flowrate of 2.5 ml minutes. During this step the temperature of the two purification columns is maintained at 60 C. The elevated temperature weakens the adsorption with silica gel and as a result the elution speed of dioxins and PCBs is enhanced. Also the chemical reaction rates (oxidation with sulfuric acid or nitric acid) with sample matrices is accelerated. PCDD/Fs and the four NO-PCBs are trapped on the activated carbon column while the MO, NDL- PCBs and PBDEs are trapped on the alumina column. Finally in backflush, both the alumina and the carbon column are eluted using a small of toluene resulting in two fractions each of 1.5 ml. During these elution steps the temperature of the carbon and alumina column is set at 90 C. At first only the alumina column is eluted and the collected fraction contains the MO-PCBs, the NDL-PCBs (and all PBDEs). After that the carbon column is eluted with toluene and this fraction contains all PCDD/Fs and NO-PCBs. To both fraction the /syringe standards 13 C-1,2,3,4-TCDD and 13 C 2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF in 20 µl nonane is added and both fraction are concentrated to a final volume of 20 µl using an evaporator (CentriVap, Labconco).
5 GC-HRMS The two obtained fractions are analysed using GC-HRMS (DFS High Resolution Magnetic Sector MS - Thermo Scientific) each MS is equipped with two GCs each with a PTV injector (Best P.T.V. injector) using a sintered glass liner (SGE pn ). For the determination of PCDD/Fs and the PCBs a VF-5ms 60m x 0,25mm x 0.25µm + 5m EZ-guard (Varian) GC column is used. For the determination of PBDEs a DB-5ms 15m x 0.25 mm x 0.10 µm GC columns is used. The mass spectrometer is operated in electron impact ionization mode, using selected-ion monitoring. From both fractions 4 µl is used to introduce the sample onto the GC. Results and discussion The new fully automated soxhlet technique SER-158, based on Randall principles (8) can be regarded as excellent alternative for classical soxhlet extraction as well as for pressurized liquid extraction. This automated system starts with a sample intake of up to 20 gram and the required volume of organic solvent is 70 up to 100 ml. Depending on the boiling point of the organic solvent the total extraction time required is approximately 2.5 hours. As the solvent is automatically concentrated down near dryness the final extract can directly be purified using the Miura GO-xHT system. Obtained extracts can be concentrated after transfer in a GC vial with tapered end which can be placed directly in an auto-sampler. As a proof of principle four fishmeal samples were extracted and purified using the combination of this new extraction and purification technique. In table 1 overall results of these four samples is given while in annex 1. Detailed results can be found PCDD/Fs Results obtained via SER158 Results obtained via PLE Average St. dev CV (%) PCBs Average St. dev CV (%) Table 1: Overall results of of 13C labeled internal standards From the first experiments it can be concluded that the SER-158 in combination with a MIURA purification system gives good results By using the SER-158 extraction systems, a GO-6HT purification system and a Centrivap concentrator, one technician can perform the complete sample preparation procedure of more than 100 Food and/or Feed samples in one week time.
