[Determination of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds in salted aquatic products by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry].

An analytical method was developed for the determination of the extraction of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds including N-nitrosodimethylamine ( NDMA) , N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA), N-nitrosodibutylamine (NDBA), N-nitrosopiperidine (NPIP), and N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) from salted aquatic products by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In this experiment, the separation and detection conditions were optimized for different extraction methods, solid-phase extraction columns, and chromatographic columns. The results showed that the linear correlation coefficients (R2) were higher than 0. 999 8 within 10 - 1 000 micro g/L, and the reproducibilities were good with the - relative standard deviations (RSD) less than 8%. The recoveries were 79% - 105%. It is noted that this method for the determination of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds in salted aquatic products was much more sensitivity and with a lower detection limits (0. 05 micro g/kg except NDPA) than the previously reported methods. This proposed method is rapid and convenient for the determination, and easy for the operation. It is appropriate for the determination of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds in various salted aquatic products.
