Abstract

Objective To establish a new method for determination of styrene from polystyrene plastic moldings in food simulants.Methods A method was developed for the determination of styrene in food simulants(water and soyabean oil) by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry directly.Results In two simulants,average recoveries ranged from 87.5 to 99.6% with relative standard deviations(RSD) between 2.5 and 6.4%.The detection limit was less than 0.01 μg/mL.Conclusion This method has good sensitivity,accuracy and reproducibility.The limit of quantitation of this method can meet the international standard.
