Resumen:
Two methods for clean-up and sample enrichment for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in edible oils are compared; a clean-up based on a donor–acceptor complex chromatography (DACC) column and a standardized method widely used in the food industry consisting in a low pressure column chromatography with alumina as stationary phase. Both methods are followed by a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection for the separation and quantitation of each PAH. Certified materials were used in order to validate the methods. The limits of detection were lower than 1 ng/g and good selectivity was achieved in both cases. The DACC column clean-up is faster and better accuracies were obtained. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed.
