The invention discloses a method for detecting N-nitrosodimethylamine in beer. The method comprises the followings steps: adding a D6-N-nitrosodimethylamine
internal standard substance into a beer sample, adding
sodium chloride to dissolve to saturation, extracting by using
dichloromethane, concentrating extracting liquid, dissolving by
cyclohexane, purifying dissolved liquid by an SILICA / PSA
solid phase extraction column, eluting and collecting by
dichloromethane, taking 1.01 [mu]l of a sample for feeding, and analyzing and detecting by a gas chromatograph-
mass spectrometer, establishing a
standard curve by using an
internal standard method, detecting and calculating so as to obtain the content of N-nitrosodimethylamine in the beer. According to the method, after extraction by
dichloromethane, the SILICA / PSA
solid phase extraction column is adopted for purification, so that interfering substances are effectively removed, and interfering
substance removal capacity is high. The
gas chromatography-low-resolution
mass-spectrometry is adopted for determining, so that requirements for the instrument are low, the cost is low, and the method is easy to popularize and use. According to the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that interfering ions 44 and 73 are added, a target object can be measured accurately, so that the fact that the method is high in reliability is indicated.
