Analysis of Chloramphenicol in Shrimp and Chicken Egg Extracts Using Triple Quadrupole LC/MS/MS

Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic widely used as an animal medicine for the prevention and treatment of livestock diseases, but it has been identified as not to be contained in food under the positive list system. Since it has been confirmed that chloramphenicol glucuronide conjugates are hydrolyzed in vivo, generating chloramphenicol, the test method for chloramphenicol was revised in 2017, adding chloramphenicol glucuronide conjugates as a target of measurement.
In this study, we present an example analysis of quantified chloramphenicol in shrimp and chicken eggs in accordance with the revised test method.
