Abstract
Freshness protection packages and preservative films are widely used food-contact plastic made of polyethylene. Diode array detector (DAD), charged aerosol detector (CAD) and evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD) were evaluated for determination of 6 bisphenols (bisphenol A, bisphenol S, bisphenol F, bisphenol B, bisphenol AF and tetrabromobisphenol A.) in polyethylene. DAD presented better parameters including limit of quantification (LOQs) ranging from 0.05 to 0.5 μg/g with relative standard deviations (RSDs, n = 5) lower than 1% at two concentration levels. CAD and ELSD are universal detectors with relative consistent response parameters for different analogues which have potential application by using single calibrant for quantification of multiple analytes. Matrix effects were barely observed on three detectors. Samples of freshness protection packages and preservative films were further analyzed and preliminary profiles of bisphenols in products from Beijing market was obtained. Bisphenol S have become most abundant analogue instead of bisphenol A in investigated products.
