This paper describes a method for the separation of the 15 priority PAHs of the European Union’s (EU’s) Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) with benzo[c]fluorene, deemed relevant by the Joint FAO/WHO Experts Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).
This document presents a method developed by Agilent Technologies for analyzing the European Union's Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) 15 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), plus benzo[c]fluorene. The method utilizes an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse PAH column within a Rapid Resolution 1200 Series LC system.
The analysis of 18 PAHs, including re-equilibration, is completed in 10 minutes.
The column can withstand a maximum pressure of 422 bar.
The method uses a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min.
