Determination of Five Phthalate Esters and Bisphenol A in Fruit Juice by Packed-nanofiber Solid Phase Extraction Coupled with Gas Chromatography

Abstract

Packed-nanofiber solid phase extraction (PFSPE) combined with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) was developed for the simultaneous determination of five phthalate esters (PAEs) and bisphenol A (BPA) in fruit juice. The PAEs and BPA was concentrated by PFSPE using polystyrene- pyridine (PS-PD) nanofibers as the sorbent, followed determined by GC-FID. Under this modified procedure, satisfied recoveries in fruit juice sample ranging from 81.9% to 109.6% were obtained. And relative standard deviation values (RSD) were ranged from 1.9 % to 9.8% in orange juice sample. The limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) of five PAEs and BPA were ranged from 0.02 μg/mL to 0.30 μg/mL and 0.06 μg/L to 1.10 μg/L, respectively. This established method was successfully applied to detect real fruit juice samples, which were collected in local supermarket. These results demonstrated the applicability of the established PFSPE-based extraction coupled with gas chromatography method for determination of PAEs and BPA in fruit juice products.
