Abstract:

Salbutamol, which increases the muscle mass and decreases the adipose tissue, is misused as nutrient repartitioning agent in the livestock. The novelty of this work is the determination of salbutamol in the livestock meat via new bonded-phases bearing eight derivatives of p-tert-calix[4]arene in partial-cone conformation. The new synthesized bonded-phases were characterized and optimized. The bonding interactions of solute and stationary-phases were examined and the main interactions were reported. The salbutamol levels in six samples of livestock meat were analyzed and the results reveal that for the best bonded-phases, the limit of detection(LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.02 and 0.06 μg/mL, respectively.
