A method based on high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) detection was developed for the rapid analysis of the specific migration of seven terephthalates and benzoates (TPBAs) in seven food simulants (10% (v/v) ethanol, 3% (m/v, i. e. 3 g/100 mL) acetic acid, 4% (v/v) acetic acid, 20% (v/v) ethanol, 50% (v/v) ethanol, 95% (v/v) ethanol, or olive oil)).

An on-line pyrolytic butylation approach was proposed to determine methacrylic acid (MA) in food simulants by gas chromatography (GC) without an expensive pyrolyzer. MA in food simulants was converted into butyl methacrylate in the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) without any pretreatment at 330°C in the injection-port, contributing to high GC signal response. The derivatizing conditions for the proposed method were optimized, namely the injection-port temperature, type and amount of the organic alkaline used for derivatization.

The glyceride in oil food simulant usually causes serious interferences to target analytes and leads to failure of the normal function of the RP-HPLC column. In this work, a convenient HPLC-UV method for the determination of the total specific migration of nine ultraviolet (UV) absorbers in food simulants was developed based on 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) and organic phase anion exchange (OPAE) SPE to efficiently remove glyceride in olive oil simulant. In contrast to the normal ion exchange carried out in an aqueous solution or aqueous phase environment, the OPAE SPE was performed in the organic phase environments, and the time-consuming and challenging extraction of the nine UV absorbers from vegetable oil with aqueous solution could be readily omitted.

A novel method for simultaneous determination of total specific migration limits (SML (T)) of trimellitic, isophthalic, terephthalic, phthalic acid and their derivatives (1, 2, 4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride, isophthaloyl chloride and terephthaloyl chloride) in food simulants (10% (v/v) ethanol, 20% (v/v) ethanol, 50% (v/v) ethanol, 3% (w/v) acetic acid and olive oil) was developed by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). After the migration test, the soaking solution was cooled down and vortexed. After the extraction of olive oil food simulants with 0.

A novel method for rapid analysis of the migration amounts of 28 primary aromatic amines (PAAs) in aqueous food simulants (10% ethanol, 30 g/L acetic acid and 20% ethanol aqueous solution) was developed using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). After the migration test, the soaking solution was cooled down from 100 degrees C, vortexed, filtered through a hydrophilic polytetrafluoroethylene filter with a disposable syringe, and then the filtrate was analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS. A Zorbax SB-Phenyl column (250 mm x 4.
