[Analysis Case] LC/MS/MS Analysis of Non-Specified Antioxidant (TBHQ)
Achieving quantitative analysis of TBHQ in low concentration food with a high recovery rate.
TBHQ (tert-Butylhydroquinone) is a compound used as an antioxidant in foods in countries such as the United States and China. However, in Japan, the import and sale of foods containing TBHQ is not permitted. As a result, imported foods may contain TBHQ, and if detected domestically, measures such as voluntary recalls are taken. This document presents examples of adding 0.1 ppm of TBHQ to various foods and measuring it using LC/MS/MS. In all cases, TBHQ was analyzed with a recovery rate of over 80%. We hope this will help ensure the safety and security of imported foods and raw materials.
