Description
Summary:A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used to determine 12 acrylate compounds in plastic food contact materials. The plastic food contact material samples were extracted by ultrasonic with methanol. The mixed solution of water and acetonitrile was used as mobile phase for gradient elution. The samples were separated by ZORBAX SB-AQ column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm), and analyzed by diode array detector (DAD). The results showed that under the optimal chromatographic conditions, the 12 acrylate compounds had good linear relationships in the range of 0.01-10.0 mg/L, the correlation coefficient of the standard curves were higher than 0.999, and the detection limits (LODs) were 0.03-0.08 mg/kg. The recovery rate was between 85.4% and 110.7%, and the relative standard deviation was from 1.6% to 5.2%. The method was simple and accurate, and can be used for the analysis and detection of 12 acrylate compounds in plastic food contact materials.
