Abstract
Two sensitive detection systems are described for the quantitative determination of a nonvolatile nitrosamine, nitrosoproline. One procedure involves denitrosation followed by derivatization of the amino product, proline, with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl). The highly fluorescent NBD-proline compound formed is then identified and quantitated by either thin-layer chromatography or high-pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC). In the second system,the volatile methyl ester of the intact nitrosoproline is prepared, then detected by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), and confirmed by combined gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (GLC-MS). Both methods permit the quantitative detection of less than 10 ng of nitrosoproline. However, the HPLC fluorescence technique is approximately ten times as sensitive as the GLC method.
