Mass spectrometric identification and gas-liquid chromatographic determination of 2-chloroethyl esters of fatty acids in spices and foods.

The 2-chloroethyl esters of 5 fatty acids have been identified in spice and food samples by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC/MS). Twenty-four spice samples were analyzed for the 2-chloroethyl esters of fatty acids by AOAC official multiple residues pesticide procedure using GLC with microcoulometric detection. The esters of capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, and linoleic acids have been identified at levels up to 1400 ppm. 2-Chloroethyl linoleate was the most abundant ester in all samples. Several foods analyzed by the same procedures showed levels of 2-chloroethyl linoleate as high as 35 ppm. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 84 to 98% for the various esters. A method using an acid-catalyzed esterification reaction was developed to rapidly determine the fatty acid content of these spices. GLC analysis with microcoulometric detection was used. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 92 to 110%. After 2 spice samples found to be free of 2-chloroethyl esters were fumigated with ethylene oxide, the level of 2-chloroethyl linoleate reached 77 ppm. All levels of 2-chloroethyl esters were confirmed by GLC/MS.

Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of sorbic acid and sodium benzoate in table sirup.

A gas-liquid chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of sorbic acid and sodium benzoate in table sirup. The preservatives are extracted from acidified sirup with ethyl acetate and are analyzed on a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector and a glass column (4 ft X 4 mm id) containing 9% SP-1200 and 2% H3PO4 on Chromosorb W (AW). Coefficients of variation for sorbic acid and sodium benzoate are 0.62 and 0.41%, respectively. Analysis time is less than 20 min, with recoveries exceeding 90%.
