Detection of furan levels in select Chinese foods by solid phase microextraction–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method and dietary exposure estimation of furan in the Chinese population

In this study, a solid phase microextraction–gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPMEGC/MS) method was developed to detection the levels of furan in 191 selected food products obtained from the Chinese markets. The performance of the analysis method was evaluated by some quality parameters such as limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), linearity, recovery, and runto-run (n = 6) and day-to-day (n = 18) precisions. The LOD and...
