Summary
本协议描述了茶园中产生PA的杂草的茶样中吡咯里西啶生物碱（PA）的污染。
Abstract
在茶叶样品中发现了有毒的吡咯里西啶生物碱（PAs），对人体健康构成威胁。然而，茶叶样品中PA污染的来源和途径尚不清楚。本研究采用吸附剂方法结合UPLC-MS/MS测定了松 柏 根际土壤、圆 锥孢子草 根际土壤、新鲜茶叶和干茶样品中的15个PA。平均回收率为78%-111%，相对标准差为0.33%-14.8%。以安徽省金寨茶园为研究对象，采集了15对圆 锥苣 苔和 圆锥苣苔 根际土壤样品和60个鲜茶叶样品，并对15个茶叶进行了分析。并非所有15种PA都在新鲜茶叶中检测到，除了中间体-N-氧化物（ImNO）和Senecionine（Sn）。ImNO（34.7 μg/kg）的含量大于Sn（9.69 μg/kg）。此外，ImNO和Sn均集中在茶树的嫩叶中，而在老叶中含量较低。结果表明：茶叶中的PAs通过茶园产PA杂草-土壤-鲜茶叶的路径转移。
Introduction
作为次级代谢物，吡咯里西啶生物碱 （PA） 保护植物免受食草动物、昆虫和病原体的侵害1，2.到目前为止，已在全球6，000多种植物物种中发现了660多种具有不同结构的PA和PA-N-氧化物（PANO）3，4。产PA的植物主要分布在 菊科、 苜蓿科、 豆科和 顶生科5，6中。PAs易氧化成不稳定的脱氢吡咯里西啶生物碱，具有较强的亲电性，可攻击DNA和蛋白质等亲核试剂，导致肝细胞坏死、静脉闭塞、肝硬化、腹水等症状7，8。PA毒性的主要靶器官是肝脏。PA还可引起肺、肾和其他器官毒性以及致突变、致癌和发育毒性9，10。
许多国家报告了人类和动物中毒的病例，原因是摄入含有PAs的传统草药、补充剂或茶，或间接污染牛奶、蜂蜜或肉类等食物（摄入含有PAs的牧场有毒）11，12，13。欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）的调查结果显示，（草药）茶等物质是人类接触PAs/PANOs的重要来源14。茶样不产生PA，而产生PA的植物常见于茶园（例如，Emilia sonchifolia，Senecio angulatus和Ageratum conyzoides）15。以前怀疑茶叶可能在采摘和加工过程中被其生产植物的PA污染。然而，在一些手工采摘的茶叶中也检测到PAs（即没有产生PA的植物），这表明一定有其他途径或污染源16。对豚草（Senecio jacobaea）与Melissa（Melissa officinalis），薄荷（薄荷（薄荷），欧芹（Petrroselinum crispum），洋甘菊（Matricaria recutita）和金莲花（Tropaeolum majus）植物进行了共栽培实验，结果表明，在所有这些植物中都检测到PAs17。已经证实，PA确实通过土壤在活植物之间转移和交换18，19。Van Wyk等人20发现路易波士茶（Aspalathus linearis）在杂草丰富的地点受到严重污染，并且含有相同类型和比例的PA。然而，在无杂草地点的路易波士茶中没有检测到PA。
目前，具有高选择性和灵敏度的超高效液相色谱串联质谱（UPLC-MS/MS）已广泛应用于农产品和食品中PAs的定性和定量分析21，22。样品处理方法通常包括固相萃取（SPE）或QuEChERS（快速简便廉价坚固安全）对复杂食品基质提取物的净化，可以获得尽可能高的灵敏度12，19。然而，仍然缺少能够检测和定量土壤、杂草和新鲜茶叶等复杂基质中的PA的稳健分析方法。
本研究采用UPLC-MS/MS结合吸附纯化方法分析了干茶样品、鲜茶叶、杂草和杂草根际土壤样品中的15种PA。此外，从安徽省金寨茶园的5个采样点采集了15个配对杂草和杂草根际土壤样品和60个新鲜茶叶样品，并对15个PA进行了分析。这些结果可以提供茶样中PAs（污染）来源和途径的调查方法和一些信息，以确保茶叶的质量和安全。

Representative Results
建立了对干茶样品、鲜茶叶、杂草和土壤中15种PA的优化吸附纯化分析方法，并与常用的SPE滤芯纯化方法进行了比较。结果表明，使用SPE滤芯的干茶样品、杂草和鲜茶叶中15个PA的回收率为72%-120%，而使用吸附剂纯化为78%-98%（图1）。使用吸附剂纯化对土壤中15种PA的回收率为79%-111%（图1）。随机收集四十（40）个真实样品以检测PA的含量，以比较两种净化?…
Discussion
本工作旨在开发一种有效、灵敏的方法来探索茶叶样品中PA的污染途径和来源，以及PAs在茶树不同部位的分布。然而，在这项研究中，色谱柱上仅成功分离了15个PA，与植物物种3，4中的大量生物碱相比，这是一个非常小的数字。这不仅与色谱柱本身的堆积特性有关，还与所检查茶样品的复杂基质有关。因此，更好的分离纯化方法检测多PA仍需进一步探索?…
