Detection of nitrofurane metabolites in food with HPLC/MS/MS

Furazolidone, Furaltadone, Nitrofurazone and Nitrofurantoine belong to the group of nitrofuranes. As antibiotics they were used for treatment of gastrointestinal infections in cattle and poultry. Due to its proven mutagenic and carcinigenic effect, nitrofuranes (except for furazolidone) was prohibited in 1993 in the European Union (VO (EWG) No. 2901/93). Furazolidone was prohibited in...
