  • What is phthalate analysis in food?
  • Phthalate analysis in food is vital to avoid exposing consumers to these compounds, some of which are carcinogenic. This Application Note combines the Agilent 8890 GC with an Agilent 5977B MSD for the analysis of phthalates by Chinese national food safety standard method GB 5009.271-2016.
  • How can Agilent detect phthalates in food?
  • Agilent has developed highly sensitive and quantitative methods for the detection of phthalates in food that can be run on both GC/MS and LC/MS systems. 2 Introduction Phthalates are esters of phthalic acid and are used as plasti- cizers to increase the flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity of plastics.
  • Which method is used for GC analysis of phthalates in food in China?
  • One of the traditional methods used for GC analysis of phthalates in food in China, per regulation GB21911-2008, is a liquid-liquid extraction method using Liquid/Liquid sample extraction Chem Elut sample extraction 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 ×103
  • How much phthalate can be found in food?
  • The maximum allowable limit for any phthalate is now 1 part per million (ppm) in China and Taiwan. Sensitive and reliable methods to rapidly detect the presence of phthalates in food are clearly needed, in order to protect consumers from unscrupulous production processes.
  • Why do we need phthalates testing?
  • For example, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), is an endocrine disruptor, and can cause cancer. Other phthalates may affect human reproduction or development. Therefore, phthalates testing is required on foods to control the intake of these compounds, and protect consumers against phthalate-related health hazards.
  • How does jetclean detect phthalates?
  • Using JetClean acquire and clean mode, the ion source can be protected from matrix contamination, and provide sensitive detection of phthalates to meet the method GB 5009.271-2016 detection limit requirements. GB 5009.271-2016: Determination of Phthalates in food.
