Description:
Mediterranean mussel, Mytillusgalloprovincialis collected from the traditional market in Marseille, France,have been analysed using GC-QQQ/MS for their hydrocarbons (n-alkanes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)) extentwith two different solvent extraction, such as heptane:dichloromethane (HEP:DCM;1:1) and heptane:acetone (HEP:ACE; 1:1). The results showed hydrocarbons yielded from heptane:acetone extractionwere 28335 μg.kg - 1 mussels dw (Ʃ n-alkanes C 15-34 ) and 202 μg.kg -1 mussels dw(ƩPAHs) while the yield from heptane:DCM extract was lower ca. 27026 μg.kg -1 musselsdw and 133 μg.kg -1 mussels dw respectively from the Ʃn-alkanesC 15-34 and ƩPAHs. High hydrocarbon levels can be affected by the presence of lipids or other metabolites in mussels that have the same polarity with hydrocarbon compounds which has interferred the measurement. Several ratio parameter of n- alcanes and PAHs source in the mussels were evalu...
