Identification of residues in ethylene oxide sterilized hard gelatin capsule shells by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and development of a simple gas chromatography-flame ionization detector method for the determination of residues

ABSTRACT: Four toxic residues in gelatin capsule shells after ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and they were ethylene oxide, 2-chloroethanol, acetaldehyde, and 1,4-dioxane. The generation pathway and mechanism of the 2-chloroethanol, a...
