In this study, a new high performance liquid chromatography method with fluorescence detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, isopropyl paraben, butyl paraben and benzyl paraben in cosmetics. Separations were achieved using a C18 guard column (2.1 Ч 10 mm, 3 µm) and a C18 analytical column (2.1 Ч 150 mm, 3 µm). Isocratic elution was applied with a mobile phase consisting of 45 % aqueous o-phosphoric acid solution (0.08 %) and 55 % methanol/water mixture (90 : 10 v/v). The excitation and the emission wavelengths were 254 and 310 nm, respectively. Column temperature was fixed at 40 єC. The linear range was 0.50-10.00 μg/mL for all of the parabens. Limits of detection and quantification were in the range of 0.29-0.32 μg/mL and 0.88-0.97 μg/ mL, respectively. Precision and accuracy values were calculated by analysis results of standard solutions at 0.50, 2.50 and 10.00 μg/mL. The developed and validated method was applied for simultaneous quantitative determination of six paraben species in cosmetic tonic and micellar water samples successfully.

Abstract Background Sulfonamides have been widely used in the prevention and clinical treatment of bacterial diseases in livestock and poultry. The use of sulfonamides increases the risk of veterinary drug residues in animal derived foods. The traditional reversed phase liquid chromatography methods for sulfonamides residues detection in animal derived foods have the problem of high consumption of organic solvents. Objective The aim of this study was to establish a green high-performance liquid chromatography method for the detection of sulfonamides residues in different animal-origin foods. Method The sample extraction solutions were purified by the Agela Cleanert PEP-2 cartridge and analyzed by the high-performance liquid chromatography method using ethanol as the green alternative solvent. Results The proposed method was validated in terms of linear range (20–1000 μg/kg), limit of detection (3.0–12.3 μg/kg), limit of quantitation (10–43 μg/kg), accuracy (80.7–101.3%), and repeatability and reproducibility (RSD <5.9% and RSD <8.5% respectively). Conclusions The proposed method is an environmentally friendly, sensitive and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous determination of sulfonamide residues in animal-origin foods. Highlights In this work, we firstly developed a green high-performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous determination of the residues of nine sulfonamides in milk and beef with ethanol as the green alternative solvent.
