Determination of residual 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol in protein hydrolysates by capillary gas chromatography.
This study describes a method for the quantitative determination of residual 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol in protein hydrolysates. The method is based on a continuous micro-steam distillation solvent extraction technique. The quantitative determination is performed by electron-capture gas chromatography using an "on column" injector and a fused silica capillary CP wax 52 CB column. The absolute detection limit for 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol in soy sauces is 10 pg and recoveries of 75.8% and 82.7% with a standard deviation of 4.0% and 2.5% are obtained for samples fortified in the range of 1 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg respectively.
