Analysis of acrylamide in vegetable chips after derivatization with 2-mercaptobenzoic acid by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

Abstract (English)

Since many years, acrylamide (AA) is a well-known toxicologically relevant processing contaminant (“food-borne toxicant”). However, only during the recent years, high levels of acrylamide have been reported in vegetable chips. In the present study, AA was quantitated via a modified derivatization procedure with 2-mercaptobenzoic acid based on stable isotope dilution analysis and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Extraction with a modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, efficient, rugged, safe) method, defatting with n -hexane, and a solid phase extraction clean-up with strong cation-exchange material were performed prior to the derivatization step. Limits of detection and quantitation (LoD and LoQ) were 12 and 41 µg of AA/kg of vegetable chips (estimated via signal-to-noise ratios of 3:1 and 10:1, respectively), and thus below the LoQ of 50 µg/kg requested by the European Food Safety Authority. Recovery rates between 92 and 101% at four spiking levels with a good precision expressed as a relative standard deviation  < 7% were determined. With this method at hand, a survey of the current AA amounts in 38 vegetable chips from the worldwide market was performed, showing a remarkable variability between the different vegetables, but also between different products of the same vegetable. Thereby, the AA amounts ranged between 77.3 and 3090 µg/kg, with an average of 954 µg/kg which was distinctly higher in comparison to commercially available potato chips also analyzed in the present study (12 samples, range: 117–832 µg/kg, average: 449 µg/kg). While for sweet potato and parsnip relatively low AA amounts were found, beetroot and carrot showed rather high contents.
