Background technology
Plasticiser, claims again plastifier, is widely used in commercial production, and with plasticity and the pliability of reinforcing material, conventional plasticiser is mainly phthalate material (Phthalate Acid Esters, abbreviation PAEs).Plasticiser is applied in various plastic products at large, and very easily from various plastic products, moves to environment even in varieties of food items, to human body there is anxious toxicity, cause hormonal imbalance and carcinogenic, teratogenesis, the damaging effect such as mutagenicity.Therefore, strict supervision has all been done to Phthalic Acid Esters in Food class material residual in countries in the world.In China, phthalate material by clearly for the non-edible material from soybeans of violated interpolation is forbidden using in food, the Ministry of Public Health has also issued the limit standard of part phthalic ester specially.According to (defend and do supervision letter [2011] No. 551) regulation, (2-ethyl) the own ester of the phthalic acid two in food (DEHP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and n-butyl phthalate (DBP) maximum residue limit are respectively 1.5 mg/kg, 9.0 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg.
Sugar is as the important source material of food and food industry, and its quality safety is being related to the quality safety of numerous relevant food.In the production of sugar, there is the packing of product link in link, the especially later stage touch plastic products, produce thus the migration of plasticizer to the risk in sugar.Therefore, detect the residual quantity of phthalate material in sugar, to grasping and control sugar quality level, seem very important.
At present, in food, the detection method of plasticiser is mainly GC-MS, as domestic, promulgated the mensuration > > detection method of GB/T21911-2008 < < Phthalic Acid Esters in Food, the method is mainly to utilize GC-MS to detect 16 kinds of plasticisers, and in milk powder, the gaschromatographic mass spectrometry detection method of plasticiser also has patent report (publication No. CN 103091418 A).GC-MS has higher sensitivity when detecting the lower plasticiser of boiling point, and detecting the higher plasticiser (as dinonyl phthalate DNP, diisononyl phthalate DINP, the different certain herbaceous plants with big flowers ester of phthalic acid two DIDP etc.) of boiling point, its detection sensitivity significantly declines.As the mensuration gas chromatography-mass spectrography > > of plastifier in standard SN/T 2250-2009 < < plastic raw materials and goods thereof shows, the total ion current chromatographic peak profile of DINP is one group of multiplet, and DINP detects and is limited to 10 mg/L.This is obviously difficult to meet the needs that the Ministry of Public Health limits the quantity of and supervises DINP.Using high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrum method has advantages of that in the detection of plasticiser detection time is shorter, detection sensitivity is higher, especially for high boiling plasticisers such as DINP, also can obtain higher detection sensitivity, meet the detection needs that plasticiser residual quantity is lower.At present, in sugar, plasticiser using high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrum detection method has no report.

Embodiment 1: recovery testu in white granulated sugar
Getting a white granulated sugar sample processes according to above-mentioned experimental procedure, the content of plasticizing agent of sample detection sample, its result as shown in Figure 3, result shows to occur except DEHP has faint peak shape, other plasticisers all do not detect, substitution typical curve calculates, and the testing result of DEHP, lower than detection limit scope, shows and do not detect.
On this basis, we have done the recovery of standard addition experiment of 16 kinds of plasticisers in white granulated sugar, add scale value and are respectively 0.05 mg/L, 0.1 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L, and each adds scale value and does 6 parallel laboratory tests.Experimental result is as shown in Fig. 4 (mark-on 0.1 mg/kg), table 4, and three mark-on levels, the standard deviation value scope of 81.6% ~ 110%, 6 groups of parallel laboratory test results of recovery of standard addition scope is 0.52% ~ 4.9%.
The recovery of standard addition of 16 kinds of plasticisers in table 4 white granulated sugar
Above-mentioned experimental result shows, this analytical approach recovery of standard addition is high, and experiment precision is good, substantially can meet the needs that in white granulated sugar, various plasticisers detect.
Embodiment 2: the detection of plasticiser in rock sugar
Getting a rock sugar sample pulverizes as after Powdered, according to above-mentioned experimental procedure, process, the content of plasticizing agent of sample detection sample, its result as shown in Figure 5, testing result is that DEHP detects, detected value is 0.095 mg/L, and the DEHP content calculating in substitution formula (1) in rock sugar sample is 0.238 mg/kg.This result shows to have a small amount of DEHP residual in rock sugar, and its reason may be that crystal sugar production technique is the dissolving crystallized again of white granulated sugar, and technique is more complicated than white granulated sugar, and the possibility that touches plastic products increases, and causes the introducing of DEHP; Or in later stage packaging process, used the higher plastic package material of DEHP content, the migration of plasticiser to cause that DEHP's is residual.This result also points out sugar enterprise in production procedure, should note avoiding contacting all types of plastic goods, to plastic package material, will have strict quality control, to avoid residual at sugar product of plasticiser.
