Abstract:

An GC-FID method for determination of dimethylamine (DMA) in sea food was developed in this study. The sea food samples were extracted with 7.5% TCA. The supernatant reacted with p-touluenesulfonyl chloride for 1 hour at 60 ℃, and the product of derivatization reaction was analyzed using GC method. The results showed that the correlation coefficient between peak area and DMA concentration in the range of 0.001 mg/ml to 2 mg/ml is 0.9998. The intra-day and inter-day precision RSDs are 2.8% and 5.0%, respectively. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification of DMA are 0.38μg/ml and 0.71μg/ml, respectively. The spike recoveries are in the range of 91.21% to 103.24%. This method has high sensitivity, and is easy-operation.
