A Greener Way to Screen Toothpaste for Diethylene Glycol
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method developed for the screening of diethylene glycol (DEG) in toothpaste was released by the FDA in 2007. This method could not only quantify the DEG but also confirm if any potential interfering peak is present. However, disadvantages of this method such as intermittent shortages of the key reagent acetonitrile and the shorter than expected column-life issues have prompted a search for alternative solutions. An improvement with an alternate “greener” extraction solvent is presented, and the method comparison and validation are described in this article. The greener extraction solvent, ethanol with limited water, provided a better efficiency for the toothpaste sampling procedures. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) are 0.0025% and 0.0084% in (w/w) unit, respectively. The sample recovery is 101.2%.

Fast determination of toxic diethylene glycol in toothpaste by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry.
A rapid method for determining diethylene glycol (DEG) in toothpaste based on the use of ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) has been developed. The method has been validated in toothpaste samples spiked at different levels, 0.005, 0.1 and 5%, obtaining satisfactory recoveries (74-98%) and relative standard deviations (<4%). Quanti...

متن کاملQuantitative determination of diethylene glycol contamination in pharmaceutical products.
A simple, rapid, and reliable method was developed for the quantitative determination of diethylene glycol (DEG) in pharmaceutical products using capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. The method uses ethylene glycol as internal standard and allows for the separation of propylene glycol and DEG. The assay was linear in a DEG concentration range between 1.0 and 10.00 mg/mL...
