Desenvolvimento E Validação Do Método QuEChERS Na Determinação De Resíduos De Medicamentos Veterinários Em Leite E Carne De Búfalo

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE QuEChERS METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF VETERINARY DRUG RESIDUES IN BUFFALO MILK AND MEAT. Analytical methods were developed and validated to determine residues of veterinary drugs in buffalo milk and meat, using the QuEChERS method and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both milk and meat, at 2 g of sample, 4 mL of acetonitrile, 0.8 g of MgSO4 and 0.2 g of NaCl, were used in the liquid-liquid partition, whereas 50 mg of C-18, 50 mg of PSA and 150 mg of MgSO4 were employed in the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE). The methods showed sensitivity, precision and accuracy. The quantitation limits were in agreement with the maximum residue limit established by the Codex Alimentarius, FAO and WHO.
