FT-IR Spectroscopy for the Detection of Diethylene Glycol (DEG) Contaminant in Glycerin-Based Pharmaceutical Products and Food Supplements

Identification and determination of diethylene glycol (DEG) in glycerin-based products was successfully achieved using FT-IR spectroscopy. Studied samples included 0.5% to 20% by mass DEGspiked into cough syrup, two paracetamol syrup formulations, and two food supplements. The characteristic DEGwave...
