Sorbate addition in Dulce de Leche: pH and thermal effect determinate by RP-HPLC
The method (RP-HPLC ISO 9231| IDF 139) for sorbic acid (H-Sorb) determination in Dulce de Leche (DL) was investigated and fulfilled the acceptance criteria: selectivity (single peak), linearity (3.1–50.0 μg/mL; R 2 = 0.9977), precision (CV = 0.66–2.04%), accuracy (recoveries = 93.6–101.9%), detecti...

Summary: | The method (RP-HPLC ISO 9231| IDF 139) for sorbic acid (H-Sorb) determination in
Dulce de Leche
(DL) was investigated and fulfilled the acceptance criteria: selectivity (single peak), linearity (3.1–50.0 μg/mL;
R

= 0.9977), precision (CV = 0.66–2.04%), accuracy (recoveries = 93.6–101.9%), detection limit (0.72 μg/mL) and quantification limit (2.17 μg/mL). In DL samples, the accuracy of H-Sorb determination from added K-Sorb before/after heat treatment varied from 88.8 to 96.5%. Addition of K-Sorb before/after evaporation (pH ~ 6.9, 100 min and 120 ºC) did not interfere with the final H-Sorb concentration. The evaluation of the thermal stability of K-Sorb in aqueous sucrose solutions at different pH values showed that H-Sorb losses were pH dependent. At pH ≤ p

evaporation losses of H-Sorb occurred. H-Sorb analysis of commercial samples (

= 10) showed that their concentrations (265–572 mg/kg) were within Brazilian DL regulations, except for one sample that was mislabeled. |
