Abstract:

A method for simultaneous determination of methanal, methanol and 1, 4-dioxane in food detergents by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) was established. The influencing factors of headspace sampling were analyzed by single factor variance analysis and orthogonal test to determine the optimal conditions. A strong polar column SH-Rtx-Wax (30 m×0.32 mm×0.25 μm) was selected for separation. Selective ion scanning (SIM) mode and external standard method were used for quantitative analysis. The results show that methanal, methanol and 1, 4-dioxane have good linear relationships in the ranges of 8-200 μg/mL, 8-200 μg/mL and 2-50 μg/mL, respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) are 0.10-0.60 μg/mL, and the limits of quantification (LOQ) are 0.29-1.78 μg/mL. The recovery and precision test of the actual samples are carried out at low, medium and high levels. The recovery rate is 84.0%-101.9% and relative standard deviation (RSD) is 0.5%-3.7%. The method is simple, sensitive and reproducible, which can meet the requirements of simultaneous determination of methanal, methanol and 1, 4-dioxane in food detergents, and also provide technical basis and reference for the relevant safety indicators of food detergents in China.
