  • Title: Determination of polybrominated biphenyl residues in dairy products.
    Author: Fehringer NV.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1975 Sep; 58(5):978-82. PubMed ID: 1158841.
    Abstract:
    A method for the determination of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) in dairy products is described. Fat is extracted from the products by the official AOAC method. The PBB residues are separated from the fatty material by gel permeation chromatography prior to gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) quantitation. An additional cleanup using petroleum ether elution through a miniature Florisil column is necessary for thin layer chromatographic (TLC) confirmation. Recoveries of PBBs from samples fortified at levels from 0.1 to 0.5 ppm ranged from 94 to 104% with an average of 99%. GLC sensitivity permits the estimation of PBB residue levels as low as 0.007 ppm. Routine TLC confirmation is limited by sensitivity to greater than or equal to 0.2 ppm.
