Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon analysis in food

21 Sept 2021

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) tend to bioaccumulate in fatty foods such as fish, meat, oil, and milk and are extremely toxic to humans even at low concentrations. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires PAH analysis at low ppb levels in seafood. The European Union regulates a series of PAHs found in food matrices as EU PAH4. Download the application note below to see how you can utilize Agilent's technology in your research when analyzing PAH in food.

Captiva EMR-Lipid

Agilent Technologies

Captiva EMR-Lipid provides highly selective, efficient lipid/matrix removal without analyte loss. The novel EMR-Lipid technology removes lipids based on size exclusion and hydrophobic interaction. Effective lipid removal ensures minimal ion suppression of target analytes, significantly improving method reliability and ruggedness.

DB-EUPAH GC Columns

Agilent Technologies

Agilent J&W DB-EUPAH columns are designed and tested to provide the most optimal performance for all 16 EU-regulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The columns are individually tested with an application-specific QC test probe mixture and deliver excellent resolution of critical PAH isomers, such as benzo(b,j,k)fluoranthene.
