The analyses of these preservatives in 100 different\u0000food products were performed. Therefore 100 samples including, 10 carbonated beverages, 20 jams, 10 jelly drinks,\u000010 jelly cups, 30 ready to serve drinks, 10 nectars, and 10 sauces were analysed by using high performance liquid\u0000chromatography. The HPLC determination of the preservatives was performed using a reversed – phase C18\u0000column and UV detection at 235 nm. Flow rate approximately 1.2ml/min. Eluent for HPLC, mix 50 volume parts of\u0000Ammonium Acetate solution with 40 volume parts of methanol for HPLC and adjust to a pH of 4.5 to 4.6 with acetic\u0000acid. The preservative concentration in samples was used as external standards for sodium benzoate and potassium\u0000benzoate. Levels were compared with Food Act and Food Standards Regulation in Sri Lanka. Both benzoic acid\u0000and sorbic acid were detected in a range of 1120ppm to 30ppm and 582ppm to 16ppm respectively. Although 65%\u0000of the samples was not compliant with the Food Act and Food Regulations in Sri Lanka.","PeriodicalId":262953,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemistry: Education Research and Practice","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125101947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
