Gc. Gerhardt et al., ANALYSIS OF STREPTOMYCIN AND DIHYDROSTREPTOMYCIN IN MILK BY LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of AOAC International, 77(3), 1994, pp. 765-767
A method developed for the determination of the aminoglycoside antibio
tics streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin in tissues was applied to th
e analysis of fluid milk. Samples are extracted with 3.6% perchloric a
cid, and then injected onto a trace enrichment column, from which they
are eluted onto a reversed-phase analytical column. The analytes are
detected by fluorescence following postcolumn derivatization with 1,2-
naphthoquinone-4-sulfonic acid. Recovery of analytes was in the range
of 50-65% for skim or partially defatted fluid milk, while recoveries
for homogenized whole milk were lower. Limits of quantitation were 10
ppb for streptomycin and 20 ppb for dihydrostreptomycin.
