Abstract

The paper describes a method for analysing ethyl carbamate in alcoholic beverages. A gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS)-system monitoring selected ions is used for quantification. Deuterated ethyl carbamate is used as the internal standard. The synthesis of this compound is also described. The results show a small deviation on repeated analysis and a recovery of nearly 100%. Several categories of alcoholic beverages were analysed. In each category some samples exceeding the Canadian limits were found. The method is based only on alcoholic beverages, but with modifications it should be applicable to any kind of food sample.
