Resumen:
The possibility of simultaneous
determining seven concerned heavy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in extra
virgin olive and sunflower oils was examined by using unfolded partial
least-squares with residual bilinearization (U-PLS/RBL) and parallel factor
analysis (PARAFAC), both applied to fluorescence excitation emission matrices. The
compounds studied were benzo[a]anthracene,
benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene,
indeno[1,2,3-c,d]-pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene. The
analysis was carried out by fluorescence
spectroscopy after microwave
assisted liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction on silica. The complexity of the matrix, containing native
compounds presenting spectral overlapping with the PAHs and particularly being
able to produce inner filter effect, make it necessary the previous sample
treatment for a selective detection
of PAHs. The U-PLS/RBL algorithm showed the best performance in resolving the heavy
PAH mixture in the presence of both the highly complex oil matrix and other
unexpected PAHs. The obtained limit of detection
with the proposed method ranged from 0.07 to 2 µg kg1. The
U-PLS/RBL predicted concentrations were satisfactorily compared with those
obtained by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.
