Survey of Octylphenol, Nonylphenol, and Bisphenol A in Infant Milk Powders by Solid-Phase Extraction Combined GC/MS Method

摘要

A detection method for 3 kinds of phenolic compounds of endocrine disruptors (4-nonylphenol, 4-octylphenol, and bisphenol A) in infant milk powders by solid-phase extraction combined GC-MS was established. This method can effectively remove interference materials from infant milk powder products. The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation of the 3 kinds of compounds were 0.8 μg/kg and 2.5 μg/kg, respectively, with the relative standard deviations of 4.3–12.1%. The recovery rates of 4-nonylphenol, 4-octylphenol, and bisphenol A were of 68.5–89.2%, 64.8–87.0%, and 97.8–110.0%, respectively. Concentrations of the bisphenol A were from 0.8 to 14 μg/kg in 35 samples of the total 60 samples. And the other two compounds of 4-nonylphenol and 4-octylphenol were not found in all the 60 samples tested. The established method is simple, rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive, and the pollution of endocrine disruptors in some infant milk powders products was detectable in trace amounts.
