Abstract
|
[Objective] To establish a method for determination of 3 preservatives, benzoic acid, sorbic acid and ethyl-paraben in Chinese herb syrups simultaneously by gas chromatography. [Methods] The Chinese herb syrups sample was dissolved by methanol, extracted by ultrasonic and separated by packed column of DB-1(30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 μm). [Results] The concentrations of 3 preservatives showed a positive correlation with the peak heights at 10~100 μg/mL for sorbic acid, 10~100 μg/mL for benzoic acid and 5~50 μg/mL for ethyl-paraben. The correlative coefficients were 0.996 9~0.997 9. The detection limits were 1.2, 1.8 and 0.7 μg/mL respectively. The recovery rates were 95.4%~103.7%. RSDs were 2.9%~3.7%. [Conclusion] The present method mentioned above can perfectly separate these three preservatives with some advantages, such as simple, accurate, sensitive and quick. |
