General description

Parabens are suitable as preservative in cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry and also as food additive. Butylparaben is a phenolic preservative. It is slightly soluble in water but is freely soluble in alcohol, acetone and ether.

Application

Butylparaben may be used as reference standard in determination of paraben in beverage samples using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
