Abstract
Traces of N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) may occur in some samples of both instant coffee and fine-ground roasted coffee. The identity of NPYR in 2 samples of instant coffee was confirmed by mass spectrometry as well as by liquid chromatography-thermal energy analysis. A 2-step cleanup procedure, involving fractionation on basic alumina followed by gradient elution on reverse-phase C18 cartridge, is described that allows full-scan mass spectrometric confirmation of NPYR in tested samples.
