Hormone analysis in food products

Methods Mol Biol. 2011:747:219-32. doi: 10.1007/978-1-61779-136-9_9.

Abstract

The administration of growth-promoting compounds, to food producing animals is banned within the European Union. We developed several methods whereby the cleanup is based on LLE and SPE and detection based on GC-MSMS or LC-MSMS to identify and confirm the identity of different growth promoting agents in several food products. This chapter describes methods to isolate and identify these growth promoting agents.
