Popis: | Specifications in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for the color additive D&C Red No. 17 (R17, Colour Index No. 26100) limit the levels of the dye’s intermediates, aniline (AN), 2-naphthol (β-naphthol, BN), and 4-aminoazobenzene (4AAB), to 0.2, 0.2, and 0.1%, respectively. The present work reports the development and application of an ultra-HPLC method for the quantitative determination of these impurities in R17. A 1.7 μm particle size C-18 column was used with 0.2 M ammonium acetate and acetonitrile as the eluents. AN, BN, and 4AAB were quantified by using six-point calibration curves with data points (w/w) ranging from 0.01 to 0.25% for AN, 0.01 to 0.24% for BN, and 0.01 to 0.19% for 4AAB. The correlation coefficients ranged from 0.9992 to 0.9999. Limits of detection for the analytes ranged from 0.002 to 0.01%. Recoveries of the analytes ranged from 99.5 to 102%. Relative standard deviations ranged from 0.482 to 1.262%. The new method was applied to analyze portions from 22 batches of R17 submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for certification. It was found to be simpler to implement, faster, and more sensitive than the older gravity-elution column chromatography method, which it has replaced. |
