HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY TANDEM MASS SPECTROMETRY METHOD FOR DETERMINING QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALT IN FOOD PACKAGING PAPER ON THE BASIS OF DISPERSIVE SOLID PHASE EXTRACTION TECHNICAL FIELD
[01] The disclosure relates to a method for analyzing quaternary ammonium salts in food packaging paper, in particular to a high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass
spectrometry method for determining quaternary ammonium salt bacteriostatic agents in
food antibacterial packaging paper on the basis of a dispersive solid phase extraction
technology.
BACKGROUNDART
[02] Food safety issues have been a major issue related to people's livelihood in recent
years. People's focus mainly lies in on substances that are directly added to foods and
harmful to the human body. However, in fact, packaging materials that directly contact food
are also closely related to our food safety issues. There are currently a large number of food
packaging materials of different types on the market, and manufacturers often add different
chemical additives during the production process to achieve certain special properties of the
materials. Paper packaging materials have characteristics of good performance and
recyclability, and have now become important packaging materials in the food packaging
industry at home and abroad. The safety of their use also needs our attentions.
[03] Bacteriostatic agent is a kind of chemical agent that could effectively control or kill the
microorganisms in the system. According to its nature or structure, it could be classified into
active chlorides, inorganic compounds, organic acid salts, quaternary ammonium salts,
phenol, organic sulfur compounds, organic metals and other categories. Among them,
quaternary ammonium salt fungicides have good applicability and high sterilization ability,
and have been widely used. During the production of paper packaging paper, in order to achieve the purpose of better preservation of perishable foods, manufacturers would use related processes such as spraying, sizing, coating and dipping to add reagents with antibacterial properties to the sample paper, thereby endowing the paper with certain antibacterial properties, and then the antibacterial paper packaging materials are prepared. In addition, quaternary ammonium salt preservatives are also used in the process of wood preservation, and this part of the quaternary ammonium salt would also enter our food packaging paper, creating a potential risk of food contamination. As studies have shown, quaternary ammoniums are highly toxic to aquatic organisms and could cause human asthma, skin allergic reactions, vision loss, and other diseases. The European Food Safety Agency stipulates that the upper limit of quaternary ammonium salt residue in food is 0.1 mg/ kg. In view of the above situation, it is of great significance to provide a fast and effective detection method for accurate detection and risk assessment of quaternary ammonium salts in food packaging materials.
[04] At present, the detection methods for quaternary ammonium salt bacteriostatic agents mainly involve ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, capillary electrophoresis, liquid
chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry, etc. The
involved research fields are mainly environmental water samples, soils and sediments, etc.;
however, there is little research on food packaging materials. In modem analytical work,
sample pretreatment plays a vital role, especially for complex matrices. Scientific
pretreatment methods could not only reduce the matrix effect and increase the enrichment
factor, even could greatly simplify the analysis process, which directly affects the advantages
and disadvantages of the analysis method. The dispersive solid phase extraction is easy to
operate and could effectively remove interference factors, thereby being a very effective
pretreatment technology. Mass spectrometry has a high selectivity, fast analysis speed, and
high sensitivity. In combination with high performance liquid chromatography, quaternary
ammonium salts could be detected and determined more accurately and quickly. Therefore,
in combination with the current effective pre-processing technology and cutting-edge mass
spectrometry technology, the present disclosure proposes a method for determining
quaternary ammonium salt bacteriostatic agents in food packaging paper. The method integrates extraction and purification, and could detect 6 kinds of quaternary ammonium salts of different structure types at one time, which is featured by simple and efficient.

First, an appropriate amount of extractant is added to the sample, combined with ultrasound-assisted technology, to quickly extract the target substance in the sample.

The purification process is accelerated by vortexing, and the resulting product is centrifuged; the supernatant is filtered through an organic membrane, and the resulting solution is injected into a high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer for analysis.
[07] The pretreatment of the present disclosure requires simple equipment, is simple in operation and needs a short operation time, and thereby is suitable for the pretreatment of most of the packaging paper in contact with foods on the market, and has the advantage of batch operation. The quaternary ammonium salt in the food packaging paper to be determined in the present disclosure is at least one selected from the group consisting of tetramethyl ammonium chloride, benzyldodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide, dodecyl trimethyl chloride ammonium chloride, tetradecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, benzyl dimethyl hexadecyl ammonium chloride, and didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride.
