Determination of Glycarbylamide Residues in Chicken Tissues by HPLC with Post-Column Reaction

Abstract

A newly developed HPLC method for determination of glycarbylamide (GB) in chicken liver was applied to other tissues (muscle, fat and kidney). The recoveries of GB in muscle, fat and kidney were 87.2% (CV 0.5), 91.3% (CV 4.7), 79.7% (CV 1.0), respectively. The detection limit of GB was 0.01 ppm. GB concentrations were determined by this method in tissues (muscle, fat, liver and kidney) from chickens sacrificed 5 days after oral administration of GB mixed in feed at 60 mg/kg of feed for 7 days. GB was not detected in these chicken tissues.
