Scope of application

This standard specifies the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the determination of urethane content in beer, wine, rice wine, liquor and other alcohol and soy sauce.

This standard is applicable to the determination of urethane content in beer, wine, rice wine, liquor and other alcoholic beverages and soy sauce.

Reference standard: “GB 5009·223-2014 Determination of urethane in food”.

Sample preparation

Shake the sample well, weigh 2g (accurate to 0.001g) liquor sample, add 100.0μL 1.0μg/mL urethane working solution, 0.3g sodium chloride, ultrasonically dissolve and mix.

SPE purification steps

SPE column: Welchrom® Celite AZO, size: 2g/12mL

Loading: all the sample solution is loaded, and let stand for 10min

Rinse: 10mL n-hexane, discard

Elution: 15 mL of 5% ethyl acetate-diethyl ether solution, pressed to dryness, received

The eluate was dehydrated by a glass funnel filled with 2g of anhydrous sodium sulfate, collected in a 15mL scale test tube, blown slowly with nitrogen at room temperature to about 0.5mL, and made up to 1.0mL with methanol to make a measurement solution for use. GC/Ms analysis.
