This Standard is applicable to determination of the content of phthalate esters in food plastic packaging materials and their products as well as the migration of phthalate esters in materials in contact with foodstuffs and their products. Determination of Content of Phthalate Esters 2 Principle Mill food plastic packaging material and its product, perform ultrasonic treatment with normal hexane, filter the extract, and conduct the determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method (GC/MS). Adopt selected ion monitor mode (SIM), determine the chemical composition according to retention time and fragment abundance ratio, and determine the amount by external standard method. 3 Reagents and Materials Unless otherwise specified, all reagents used in this method are chromatographically pure (or analytically pure after double distillation). The water used shall be the water that is redistilled with full-glass apparatus and stored in a glass vessel. 3.1 Reagents 3.1.1 Normal hexane (C6H14). 3.1.2 Acetone (CH3COCH3). 3.2 Phthalate esters standard products Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), diethyl phthalate (DAP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), bis (2-methoxyethyl) phthalate (DMEP), bis (4-methyl-2-pentyl) phthalate (BMPP), bis(2-ethoxyethyl) phthalate (DEEP), diamyl phthalate (DPP), dihexyl phthalate (DHXP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), Bis (2-n-butoxyethyl) phthalate (DBEP), dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diphenyl phthalate (DPhP), Di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), dinonyl phthalate (DNP), with purity > 95.0%. 3.3 Preparation of standard solution 3.3.1 Standard stock solutions of 18 phthalate esters (1,000 μg/mL):accurately weigh out 25mg of 18 phthalate esters standard products respectively, dissolve them with normal hexane and accurately make the volume to 25mL, and preserve them in a 4℃ refrigerator in dark condition. 3.3.2 Standard working solutions of 17 phthalate esters (10 μg/mL): accurately pipette 1 mL of all phthalate esters (except diisononyl phthalate) standard stock solutions (1,000μg/mL) respectively to 100mL volumetric flasks, add normal hexane to constant volume 100mL, and preserve them in a 4℃ refrigerator in dark condition. 3.3.3 Diisononyl phthalate standard working solution (100 μg/mL): accurately pipette 10 mL of diisononyl phthalate standard stock solution (1,000μg/mL) to a 100mL volumetric flask, add normal hexane to constant volume 100mL, and preserve them in a 4℃ refrigerator in dark condition. 3.3.4 Series standard working solutions of phthalate esters: accurately pipette an appropriate amount of phthalate esters standard working solution, use normal hexane to prepare standard mixed working solutions of 17 phthalate esters with concentrations 0.02mg/L, 0.05mg/L, 0.10mg/L, 0.20mg/L, 0.50mg/L and 1.00mg/L, as well as monostandard working solutions of diisononyl phthalate (DINP) with concentrations 0.5mg/L, 1.0mg/L, 2.0mg/L, 5.0mg/L, 10.0mg/L and 20.0mg/L. 4 Instruments and Apparatus 4.1 Gas chromatograph - mass spectrometer (GC-MS). 4.2 Analytic balance: sensitivity 0.0001g and 0.01g. 4.3 Ultrasonic generator. 4.4 Glassware.
