Abstract:

On the basis of optimized sample pretreatment conditions, a method for the determination of octylphenol (OP),
nonylphenol (NP) and bisphenol A (BPA) in aquatic products has been developed by gel permeation chromatography
(GPC) coupled with solid phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The analytes were
extracted with ethyl acetate and purified seuquentially by gel permeation chromatography and HLB solid phase extraction
cartridges. After derivatization with heptafluorobutyrican anhydride (HFBA), the derivatives were determined by GCMS.
The results showed that the derivatives of the analytes were well separated by an HP-5MS column, and the limits of
detection for OP, NP and BPA were 0.2, 0.1 μg/kg and 0.1 μg/kg, respectively. The average recovery rates were more than
83.4%, 80.5% and 81.3%, respectively, with relative standard deviation (RSD) ranging from 3.73% to 9.19%. The method
has been used to determine seafood samples from Laizhou Bay with high sensitivity and reliability.
