Determination of Inorganic Sulfites
and Bisulfites in Cosmetics
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the reagents and materials, instruments and
apparatuses, analysis steps, result calculation, recovery and precision,
allowable difference and the like of titration and ion chromatography of the
determination of sulfites and bisulfites in cosmetics.
Note: The user selects titration or ion chromatography according to the
configuration of the instrument. If the results are inconsistent, the ion
chromatography method will prevail.
This Standard applies to the determination of sulfites and bisulfites in cosmetics.
For the contents of sulfites and bisulfites, the quantitation-limit of titration in this
Standard is 50 mg/kg; the detection-limit of ion chromatography is 2 mg/kg, and
the quantitation-limit is 10 mg/kg.

methods
3 Titration
3.1 Principle
Under the heating condition, the free sulfur dioxide in the sample reacts
excessively with hydrogen peroxide to form sulfuric acid; then, use alkali
standard solution to titrate the resulting sulfuric acid. Thus, the content of free
sulfur dioxide in the sample can be obtained.
3.2 Reagents and materials
Unless otherwise specified, the used reagents are analytical reagents; the
water is that in accordance with 3.2.1.
3.4.3 Titration
Take down the pear-shaped flask; use a small amount of water to wash the
upper end and let it flow into the pear-shaped flask; use sodium hydroxide
standard solution (3.2.8) to titrate the solution in the pear-shaped flask to an
olive color; record the volume of the consumed sodium hydroxide standard
solution; at the same time, do a blank test.
3.4.4 Blank test
Except that the sample is not weighed, it is carried out according to the above
steps of distillation and titration.
3.4.5 Parallel test
The contents of sulfites and bisulfites in the sample shall be determined from
the average of two independent parallel test results.
3.5 Result calculation
The contents of inorganic sulfites and bisulfites in the sample (calculated as
sulfur dioxide) is calculated according to Formula (1):
Where:
X -- the content of inorganic sulfites and bisulfites in the sample (calculated as
sulfur dioxide), in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg);
c -- the mass concentration of the sodium hydroxide standard solution, in moles
per liter (mol/L);
V -- the volume of sodium hydroxide standard solution that is consumed to
determine the sample, in milliliters (mL);
V0 -- the volume of sodium hydroxide standard solution that is consumed in the
blank test, in milliliters (mL);
32 -- the mass of sulfur dioxide that is equivalent to 1.00 mL of sodium hydroxide
standard solution [c(NaOH) = 1.00 mol/L], in milligrams.
m -- sampling amount, in grams (g);
The calculation result shall keep two significant figures.
3.6 Recovery and precision
4.2.8 Sodium sulfite grade-2 standard intermediate solution 5.00 mg/L (content
based on sulfur dioxide): accurately transfer 2.50 mL of sodium sulfite grade-1
standard intermediate solution (4.2.7) to a 10 mL volumetric flask; use water to
dilute to the mark; shake well. Store it at 0°C ~ 4°C out of the sun. Formulate
when needed.
4.2.9 Sodium sulfite standard working solution: accurately transfer 0.20 mL,
0.50 mL, 1.00 mL, 2.00 mL, 3.00 mL and 4.00 mL of sodium sulfite grade-2
standard intermediate solution to a 10 mL volumetric flask respectively; use
water to dilute to the mark; shake well. The concentrations are 0.10 mg/L, 0.25
mg/L, 0.50 mg/L, 1.00 mg/L, 1.50 mg/L and 2.00 mg/L respectively (content
based on sulfur dioxide); prepare when needed.
4.3 Instruments and apparatuses
4.3.1 Ion chromatograph: equipped with a conductivity detector.
4.3.2 Analytical balance: sensitivity of 1 mg.
4.3.3 Analytical balance: sensitivity of 0.01 g.
4.3.4 Volumetric flasks: 10 mL and 100 mL.
4.3.5 Colorimetric tube with a stopper: 10 mL.
4.3.6 RP C18 ion chromatography solid-phase extraction column (1.0 mL), or a
pre-treatment column with equivalent performance to remove organic matters.
Use 5 mL of methanol (4.2.3) and 10 mL of water to activate before use; place
for 30 min before use, or carry out activation with reference to the extraction
column technical file.
4.3.7 Centrifuge: (speed ≥ 8 000 r/min).
4.3.8 Filter: pore size of 0.22 μm.

4.4 Analysis steps
4.4.1 Preparation of sample solution
Weigh 2 g (accurate to 0.01 g) of sample; place it in a 10 mL colorimetric tube
with a stopper; use acetonitrile (4.2.2) to dilute to the mark of 10 mL; vortex for
2 min; centrifuge at 8 000 r/min for 5 min.
Accurately transfer 0.50 mL of the supernatant to another 10 mL colorimetric
tube with a stopper; use water to dilute to the mark of 10 mL; mix well.
Determine the sample solution; obtain the concentration (mg/L) of sulfites and
bisulfites in the measurement solution from the standard curve.
