Abstract:
      A gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric(GC-MS/MS) method was established for the simultaneous detection of 10 N-nitrosamines including N-nitrosodimethylamine in cosmetics. After pretreated by QuEChERS method,the samples were extracted with acetonitrile,then purified by enhanced lipid removal products(EMR-Lipid dSPE). The analytes were separated on a polyethylene glycol quartz column HP-INNOWAX(30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm),then analyzed in multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) mode,and finally quantified by the external standard method. There were good linear relationships for the 10 N-nitrosamines in the range of 0.5-50 ng/mL,with their correlation coefficients(r) larger than 0.999. The limits of detection and limits of quantitation were 1 μg/kg and 3 μg/kg,respectively. The average recoveries for 10 N-nitrosamines at the spiked levels of 5, 50,200 μg/kg ranged from 80.5% to 143%,with the relative standard deviations(RSDs) less than 11%(n = 6). The developed method was simple,rapid,exclusive,sensitive,accurate and precise,and it could be applied in the rapid determination of 10 N-nitrosamines in cosmetics.
