NATURAL HORMONES ABUSE IN MEAT PRODUCING ANIMALS INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

The use of anabolic substances for livestock fattening has been prohibited in the European Union (Directive 96/22/EC). Nevertheless, their uses are still suspected regarding potential benefits in terms of income. Anabolic steroid esters are the most commonly used due to their higher bioavailability and their longer lasting effect. In this context, the present study aims at providing a new rapid, efficient and multiresidue confirmatory strategy based on Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe (ASAP) technology.

The potential of ASAP as new, efficient and rapid confirmatory strategy was assessed. Investigation of ionization and fragmentation both in positive and negative mode for 23 steroid esters was carried out. Rapid method to identify large set of steroid esters was developed. Isotopic dilution method in Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) mode was validated for the rapid quantification of these compounds.

CONCLUSION TAKE HOME MESSAGE

NEXT STEPS

Rapid, efficient and multiresidue method was developed in order to identify a large set of anabolic steroid esters in less than 5 minutes.

Extend the developed procedure to other anabolic steroid esters.

Thanks to labeled internal standards, quantification of the identified steroid esters was realized in oily commercial solution.

Develop an algorithm to identify both known and also unknown anabolic steroid esters.
