Malachite Green and Leucomalachite Green Analysis

Illegal use of malachite green (MG), an inexpensive fungicide, can allow MG to enter water cycles, where it is easily absorbed by fish tissue, and thus enters the human food supply. Reversed phase HPLC often is used to analyze for MG and its stored metabolite, leucomalachite green. Methods that facilitate detection of both compounds are discussed.

Meet New Requirements for Melamine Analysis at 1µg/g in Infant Formula

The recent establishment of a 1µg/g safety threshold for melamine in infant foods has led to an immediate need for more sensitive methods. Here we established GC/MS conditions for highly reproducible analyses and evaluated the effectiveness of both solvent-based and matrix-matched standards. Using this method, melamine and cyanuric acid were reliably detected at and below 1µg/g in infant formula.

High Sensitivity Melamine GC/MS Analysis of Cat Food Modified Conditions Save Costs and Reduce Maintenance

Melamine contamination was implicated in a large pet food recall that occurred in 2007 when animals died after eating contaminated pet food. Here, a modified GC/MS method, based on an FDA method, was used to analyze for melamine & related compounds cyanuric acid, ammelide, and ammeline in dry cat food. Analytes were easily identified by retention time matching and mass spectra.
