Chloramphenicol in royal jelly: analytical aspects and occurrence in Italian imports
Chloramphenicol (CAP) residues were determined in 35
samples of royal jelly. Fourteen samples were collected by Veterinary Border
Inspection officials in Milan and Turin and 21 were submitted by private
importers to confirm the quality of their product. Liquid
chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for the
identification and determination of CAP, according to the isotope dilution
approach for the analysis of royal jelly. The presence of chloramphenicol
was detected in 29 out of 35 tested samples at concentrations ranging from
0.6 g/kg to 28 g/kg, with an average content of 6.1 g/kg
