Figure 2: HPLC profiles of different concentrations of reference N-butyl-N- (3-carboxypropyl) nitrosamine (BCPN).
BCPN standard (96% in purity) was used as the reference standard. BCPN (a: 5 ppm, b: 10 ppm, c: 20 ppm, d: 50 ppm, and e: 100 ppm) were reacted with anthryl diazomethane (ADAM) to form fluorescence derivative. The mobile phase used was methanol: water (=80:20 v/v) operated at 0.6 mL/min. The fluorescence was taken with a fluorescence detector (FL type L-2480) at λEc = 365 nm; and λEm=430 nm. The arrows indicate the retention time of the BCPN derivatives. The correlation equation obtained was Y=266716x+2E+6 (R2=0.9441), where Y was the peak area and x was the concentration of BCPN (ppm).
