The invention relates to the technical field of
food contact grade plastic safety detection, and discloses a method for determining the content of
limonene in a
food contact grade plastic product, which comprises the following steps: S100, preparing a
standard solution, S101, preparing an
ethanol / water
solvent (V: V = 1: 1), mixing 250mL of
ethanol with 250mL of water, S102, preparing a mother solution (1000mu g / mL), accurately weighing 0.95-1.05 g (accurate to 0.001 g) of
limonene in a 100mL
volumetric flask containing 50mL of
ethanol, and measuring the content of the
limonene in the
volumetric flask according to the
standard solution. And fixing the volume to 100mL by using ethanol. According to the method for determining the content of limonene in the
food contact grade plastic product, the ethanol / water mixed
solvent is selected as the poising agent, so that plastic particles can be completely immersed in a
liquid phase by the poising agent, and limonene can be transferred into the ethanol / water mixed
solvent; the limonene emigrated from the plastic particles is more favorable for being distributed to a
gas phase in a gas-liquid equilibrium state, so that the detection sensitivity is improved, and the distribution ratio of the limonene in the
gas phase is further improved due to the addition of
sodium chloride and a
salting-out effect.
