Determination of Sulfonamide Residues in Food by Micellar Liquid Chromatography

This paper presents new methods of determination of sulfonamide residues in food products of animal origin, based on liquid chromatography with a micellar mobile phase. The methods employ a technique of direct injection of the sample and preliminary isolation of the analyte by extraction in the liquid-solid and liquid-liquid system. The methods have been characterized by providing the parameters of the calibration curves, the range of linearity, limit of detection, and precision and accuracy of particular determinations. The recovery of the sulfonamides introduced into the food products studied has also been determined.
