A rapid, accurate LC analytical method has been developed for determination of eight sulfonamides (sulfacetamide, sulfapyridine, sulfamerazine, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfameter, sulfachloropyridazine, sulfamethoxazole and sulfadimethoxine) in honey. The sample was dissolved in phosphoric acid solution (pH 2). After filtration, the sample solution was cleaned by use of two solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges-an aromatic sulfonic cation-exchange cartridge and an Oasis HLB cartridge. The eight sulfonamides were then derivatized with fluorescamine and the derivatives were determined by LC with fluorescence detection at excitation and emission wavelengths of 405 and 495 nm, respectively. Average recoveries at three fortification levels in the range 0.02-0.50 mg kg(-1) in twelve different kinds of honey were 73.5-94.1% with coefficients of variation of 4.35-16.60%. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.002 mg kg(-1) for sulfacetamide, sulfapyridine, sulfamerazine, and sulfamethoxypyridazine; that for sulfameter, sulfachloropyridazine, sulfamethoxazole and sulfadimethoxine was 0.005 mg kg(-1). The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.005 mg kg(-1) for sulfacetamide, sulfapyridine, sulfamerazine, and sulfamethoxypyridazine; that for sulfameter, sulfachloropyridazine, sulfamethoxazole, and sulfadimethoxine was 0.010 mg kg(-1). The method is suitable for determination of multiresidue sulfonamides in the various kinds of honey.
