《GB/T 35952-2018化妆品中十一烯酸及其锌盐的测定 气相色谱法》由TC257(全国香料香精化妆品标准化技术委员会)归口,TC257SC2(全国香料香精化妆品标准化技术委员会化妆品分会)执行,主管部门为中国轻工业联合会。
Introduction
1. Standard Overview
This standard specifies the gas chromatography determination method for undecylenic acid and its zinc salt in cosmetics (creams, lotions, toners) and hand sanitizer products. It is applicable to the quantitative detection of undecylenic acid and its zinc salt in the above products, with a detection limit of $12~\mathrm{mg/kg}$ to $0.002\%$.
2. Determination Principle
Undecylenic acid and its zinc salt are methylated with sulfuric acid methanol solution, and the resulting undecylenic acid methyl ester is extracted with n-hexane. The n-hexane layer is filtered through a $0.45~\mu\mathrm{m}$ filter membrane and injected into a gas chromatograph for detection, and the external standard method is used for quantification.
3. Reagents and Instrument Requirements
| Category | Name | Specifications | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reagents | Methanol | Chromatographic grade | For methyl esterification reaction |
| Instrument | Gas Chromatograph (GC-FID) | Equipped with hydrogen flame ionization detector | HP-5 capillary column is recommended |
4. Determination Procedures
Standard working solution treatment:Take the standard solution of undecylenic acid at various concentrations, add sulfuric acid methanol solution, and react in a $65~^{\circ}C$ water bath for $1~\mathrm{h}$. After cooling, add n-hexane, vortex mix and add saturated sodium chloride solution. After standing and stratification, wash the organic layer, take the upper organic layer, filter and inject.
Sample treatment:Accurately weigh $0.25\mathrm{~g}$ sample, add sulfuric acid methanol solution, and ultrasonically extract for $10\mathrm{min}$. The methylation step is the same as the standard working solution.
Chromatographic conditions: - Chromatographic column: HP-5 capillary column $(30.0~\mathrm{m} \times 0.25~\mathrm{mm} \times 0.25~\mu\mathrm{m})$ or equivalent polarity chromatographic column - Temperature program: initial temperature $100~^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$, maintain for $2\mathrm{min}$, increase the temperature to $240~^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ at $15~^{\circ}\mathrm{C}/\mathrm{min}$, maintain for $5\mathrm{min}$ - Inlet temperature: $250~^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$, detector temperature: $260~^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$
Result calculation: The mass fraction $X_i$ of undecylenic acid or undecylenic acid zinc salt in the sample is calculated as follows: $$ X_{i} = \frac{m_{i}}{m \times 10^{3}} \times 100 $$
5. Standard Comparison and Application Suggestions
| Dimensions | GB/T 35952—2018 | Comparison standards (such as ISO XYZ) | Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detection Range | $12~\mathrm{mg/kg}$ to $0.002\%$ | - | Wide applicability, covering low-content detection needs |
6. Implementation recommendations
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results, it is recommended that:
- Strictly control the methyl esterification reaction conditions (such as sulfuric acid concentration, water bath temperature)
- Use high-purity reagents to avoid interference from impurities
- Regularly calibrate the instrument and verify the linear range of the standard curve
- Operators must undergo professional training
