Liquid chromatography with amperometric detection for determinging phenolic preservatives. 1980

W P King, and K T Joseph, and P T Kissinger

Liquid chromatography with amperometric detection is a rapid and sensitive method for determining commonly encountered phenolic antioxidants including 3(2)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, tert-butylhydroquinone, n-propyl gallate, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol (Ionox-100), and the antimicrobial parabens, in a variety of commercial products. Sample extracts are chromatographed directly with few interferences on the reverse phase system. The typical linear range extends from 10(-11) to 10(-6) mole of injected analyte. Pertinent experimental factors are discussed with regard to the requirements of the detector and optimizing the determination of this class of compounds.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009821	Oils	Unctuous combustible substances that are liquid or easily liquefiable on warming, and are soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. Depending on their behavior on heating, they are volatile or fixed. (Dorland, 28th ed)
D010636	Phenols	Benzene derivatives that include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the ring structure.
D002853	Chromatography, Liquid	Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid.	Liquid Chromatography
D003358	Cosmetics	Substances intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions. Included in this definition are skin creams, lotions, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and facial makeup preparations, permanent waves, hair colors, toothpastes, and deodorants, as well as any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product.
