    Abstract:

    Objective To establish a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method for the determination of ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol in pasta sauce.Methods The sample was extracted with acetonitrile, cleaned-up by QuEChERS purification agent C18/PSA/MgSO4 (10/10/60) mg/mL, and determined by GC-MS/MS in multiple reaction detection mode (MRM) and quantified by isotope internal standard curve.Results The linear relationship between ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol was good in the concentration range of 10-100 μg/L with R2>0.99, the method limit of detection (LOD) was 0.02 mg/kg, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.05 mg/kg. The average recoveries of the samples at the three spiked concentration levels of 0.05, 0.10, 0.35 mg/kg were 87.79%-108.46%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 2.03%-11.79%. The intra-day and inter-day precision were 9.62%-10.09% and 9.40%-11.82%, respectively.Conclusion The method is rapid in analysis, accurate and reliable, and can be used for the determination of ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol residues in pasta sauce.
