Abstract:

Isothiazolinone preservatives are broad-spectrum, high-efficiency and environmentally friendly, which have been widely used in cosmetics, toys, coatings and other fields. However, there are more and more reports at home and abroad about allergic reactions, contact dermatitis, and even chemical skin burns caused by isothiazolinone preservatives, which has aroused concerns in society. It is of great significance to pay attention to the relevant regulations and standards of isothiazolinone preservatives and select accurate and efficient analytical methods for their safety risk assessments. Herein, a comprehensive overview on the limits of content of isothiazolinone preservatives in European Union and China was made, as well as the domestic situation of detection standards. The pretreatment techniques, including accelerated solvent extraction, solid-phase extraction, and QuEChERS, were briefly reviewed. The applications of gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for isothiazolinone preservatives were reviewed. Finally, the development direction of detection techniques for isothiazolinone preservatives in different products was prospected, in order to provide reference to related researchers and improve the relevant standard system.

Key words: isothiazolinone preservative, application, standard, detection technique, review
