Abstract
Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) is a new sample extraction method offering a number of advantages such as low pe -extraction cost, reduced solvent and time consumption, and simplified extraction protocols. In this study, the ASE method was applied to the extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from biological samples. For recovery studies, fish tissues and ground pork were used as sample matrices. Sample aliquots fortified with 16 PAHs were extracted by ASE, and the extracts were treated with sulfuric acid and Florisil, followed by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry analysis. The PAH recoveries by the ASE method were found to be comparable with or better than those by Soxhlet extraction. The extraction and quantitation method was then applied to the determination of PAHs in several smoked meat samples obtained from a local market. Up to 12 PAHs were found to be present at concentrations ranging from 3 to 52 ng/g wet sample. Keywords: Accelerated solvent extraction; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; GC/MS; smoked foodKeywords
