Headspace--gas chromatographic determination of inorganic bromide residues in vegetables.

This study describes a headspace gas-chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of inorganic bromide in vegetables. Different parameters influencing the reaction of the bromide ion into 2-bromoethanol have been investigated. The analysis of 2-bromoethanol is performed by the headspace--electron capture--gas chromatographic technique using a fused silica capillary column CP wax 52 CB.

Determination of residual 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol in protein hydrolysates by capillary gas chromatography.

This study describes a method for the quantitative determination of residual 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol in protein hydrolysates. The method is based on a continuous micro-steam distillation solvent extraction technique. The quantitative determination is performed by electron-capture gas chromatography using an "on column" injector and a fused silica capillary CP wax 52 CB column.

Determination of residual tetrachloroethylene in olive oil by headspace-gas chromatography.

This study describes a method for the quantitative determination of residual tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene (PCE) in olive oil by headspace-gas chromatography. The analysis of the chlorinated product is performed by electron-capture gas chromatography, using a fused silica capillary column, CP Sil 8 CB. The absolute detection limit for PCE was 1 pg.

Determination of residual bromopropylate and coumaphos in honey and honeycomb by capillary gas chromatography.

This study describes a method for the quantitative determination of residual bromopropylate (BP) and coumaphos (Cph) in honey and honeycomb. It is based on a reversed phase extraction technique on sorbent octadecyl. Both phyto-pharmaceuticals are determined by electron-capture using a fused silica capillary column CP Sil 5 CB.

Determination of fumigants in cereals and cereal products by capillary gas chromatography.

This study describes two methods for the quantitative determination of the residual fumigants ethylene dichloride (EDC), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), trichloroethylene (TCE), ethylene dibromide (EDB) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in cereals (especially wheat) and other foodstuffs. In the first method, a micro steam distillation- solvent extraction apparatus is used, while the second method is based on a headspace technique. For the quantitative determination of carbon tetrachloride in cereals, the multiple headspace technique is not retained because it is too time-consuming.
