Validation and Application of a Methodology for Quantifying Levels of Parabens in Sports Supplements from Brazil Using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
Abstract:Although parabens have been reported to be used as antimicrobial preservatives in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and foodstuffs, little is known about the occurrence of these compounds in sports supplements. In this study, a simple, fast and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of five commonly used parabens, methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, butyl-, and benzylparaben in sports supplements was established. The analytical method was validated with the … Show more
