Determination of Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) in Food Contact Paper
1 Scope
This standard specifies the determination method for polychlorobiphenyls in food contact paper through gas chromatography or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
As for this standard, Method I is gas chromatography and Method II is gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, which are applicable to the determination of 8 polychlorobiphenyls in all kinds of food contact paper.
Method I Gas Chromatography
2 Principle
Polychlorobiphenyls in single-layer food contact paper are extracted with mixed solution of n-hexane and methylene chloride through oscillation in water bath or with accelerated solvent extraction instrument while those in composite food contact paper are extracted with accelerated solvent extraction instrument. Extracting solution, after being concentrated and subjected to sulphonation treatment by using concentrated sulfuric acid, is detected with gas chromatograph equipped with electron capture detector and quantitatively determined by internal standard method.
