Validação de um método por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência para determinação de teobromina

Abstract

O presente relatório de estágio foi desenvolvido no âmbito do mestrado em Biotecnologia, ramo Alimentar, do Departamento de Química da Universidade de Aveiro no laboratório de Métodos Instrumentais de Análise da Silliker Portugal, S.A., uma empresa acreditada que se dedica à prestação de serviços analíticos e de consultoria no setor agroalimentar. A validação de métodos é imprescindível para assegurar resultados precisos e fiáveis e a qualidade dos serviços analíticos prestados. Durante o período de estágio foram analisados Materiais de Referência Certificados (MRC) e amostras de clientes para a validação de um método por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (HPLC) para determinação de teobromina em produtos à base de cacau e numa ração baseado no método 980.14 da Associação de Químicos Analíticos Oficiais (AOAC), tendo sido desenvolvido um procedimento de análise interno. A nível experimental foram realizados diversos ensaios que permitiram avaliar a sensibilidade, linearidade, limite de quantificação, gama de trabalho, seletividade, repetibilidade, precisão intermédia, veracidade e estimativa da incerteza, bem como traçar curvas de calibração diárias. Para a validação do método da teobromina foram consideradas catorze matrizes à base de cacau, entre as quais dois MRC, e uma ração animal, pertencentes a sete grupos alimentares. Os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, o que permitiu confirmar a fiabilidade do método no contexto laboratorial e qualidade pretendidos.

The present internship report was developed within the scope of the master's degree in Biotechnology, Food branch, from the Department of Chemistry of the University of Aveiro in the laboratory of Instrumental Methods of Analysis of Silliker Portugal, SA, an accredited company dedicated to providing analytical and consultancy services in the agrifood sector. Validation of methods is essential to ensure accurate and reliable results as well as the quality of analytical services provided. During the internship period, Certified Reference Materials (CRM) and customers samples were analysed for validation of a method by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to determine theobromine content in cacao products and animal food based on 980.14 method published by Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). An internal analysis procedure was developed for the theobromine method. In laboratory, several experiments were carried out to assess sensitivity, linearity, limit of quantification, working range, selectivity, repeatability, intermediate precision, trueness and uncertainty estimation, as daily calibration curves. For theobromine’s method validation fourteen cocoa-based matrices, including two CRM, and one animal food were considered. The results obtained were satisfactory, which allowed to confirm the method’s reliability in the laboratory context and required quality
