[Determination of furan in baby foods using headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry].
A method for the determination of furan in baby foods was developed using headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry on an HP-PLOT Q capillary column, with D4-furan as an internal standard. The linearities of detection ranged from 10 ng to 70 ng in low concentration and from 50 ng to 400 ng in high concentration, with correlation coefficients of 0.997 and 0.997, respectively. The detection limit of the method was 3.8 ng/g and the limit of quantification was 10.0 ng/g. The average recoveries at the two spiked levels in different samples ranged from 90.0% to 98.4%, and the relative standard deviations were lower than 10%.
