Abstract
In this study, liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to quantify the concentrations of residues of bacitracin A in extracts obtained from pork liver, kidney, and muscle tissues. Tissues were homogenized with acidic methanol/water and centrifuged. The supernatant was decanted, diluted with water, and loaded onto a conditioned solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. Bacitracin A was eluted from the SPE with methanol. After evaporating the methanol to dryness, the residual extract was reconstituted in the mobile phase for quantitative analysis by LC-MS. The limit of Quantification (LOQ) for the method was 100 ng/g. Any samples eliciting quantifiable concentrations ≥100 ng/g were subjected to confirmatory analysis by LC-MS/MS.
