Abstract
A qualitative method has been developed for the confirmation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in beer by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) from full mass scans after quantitation, using a gas chromatograph interfaced to a thermal energy analyzer (GC/TEA). The GC/MS method has a lower limit of confirmation of 5 ppb. In a survey of 22 imported and 42 domestic beers, NDMA was found in 60 samples by GC/TEA at levels up to 7.7 ppb, and was confirmed by GC/MS in 5 samples.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
