A procedure has been developed for the determination of arsenobetaine in fish matrix by HPLC–ESI-MS/MS. Hereby (trimethylarsonium)-1,2-13C-acetate (arsenobetaine) is used as internal calibration standard. Arsenobetaine was determined in a fish material (Sea Bass) with an expanded uncertainty of 3.8%.
Arsenolipids represent a relevant step in the biosynthesis of organoarsenicals from inorganic arsenic compounds. Their fate after human consumption is still uncertain.
By means of a HPLC-ICP-MS/ESI-Q-TOF-MS method, 16 lipid soluble arsenic compounds, including seven formerly unknown organoarsenicals, have been identified in commercial herring fillet.
The structural assignment was done by exact mass and high resolution MS/MS data. This is the first identification of arsenolipids in herring (Clupea harengus). They contribute with (3.6±0.2) mg kg-1 arsenic to 62.3% of the total arsenic content of (5.7±0.3) mg of arsenic per kg dry mass. Current studies indicate that a metabolization by humans to cancerous dimethylarsinic acid is very likely. The presented results are highly relevant as herring is a very popular food fish species in Europe. Moreover, the screening of different fish species revealed that arsenolipids are more widespread than previously assumed.
Quecksilber-, Blei- und Zinnverbindungen gehören aufgrund Ihrer Toxizität zu den bedrohlichsten Umweltkontaminationen.
Dabei können besonders die organischen Verbindungen bereits in kleinsten Mengen überaus schwerwiegende Folgen für Lebewesen verursachen. Während die anorganischen (mineralischen) Verbindungen dieser Elemente auch durch natürliche Prozesse wie Erosion aus Gestein und durch Vulkanismus in die Umwelt eingetragen werden, entstehen die meisten Kontaminationen der Umwelt aufgrund ihres jahrzehntelangen weltweiten Einsatzes in verschiedenen Pestiziden,
Antifouling Anstrichen, Treibstoffen und zahlreichen industriellen Großprozessen, sowie ihrer Emission bei der Verfeuerung fossiler Brennstoffe.
The present study was focused on the determination and identification of arsenic species in methanolic extracts of cod liver. Arsenic species were fractionated and the fractions analysed by RP-HPLC-ICP-MS coupled with ESI-Q-TOF-MS. The total concentration of arsenic in the fresh cod liver was analysed by ICP-MS to be 1.53 ± 0.02 mg As kg-1 w.w. and the extraction recovery was ca. 100% and the column recovery >93%. Besides polar inorganic and methylated arsenic species (>70%) more hydrophobic arsenic-containing fatty acids and hydrocarbons occurred. Based on the mass spectrometric data proposals for molecular structures were elaborated for 20 of the organic As species included 10 arsenic-containing fatty acids (AsFA) and an arsenic-containing hydrocarbon (AsHC) mentioned for the first time in fresh cod liver. Arsenobetaine was found as main water-soluble arsenic compound in cod liver followed by higher molecular mass arsenic-containing fatty acids and hydrocarbons.
