The followinganalytes were investigated: aniline (A), 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (4,4′-MDA) and 2,4-diaminotoluene(2,4-TDA) using 3-chloro-4-fluoroaniline (3C4FA) and 2-aminobiphenyl (2ABP) as internal standards. Prior toextraction the analytes were derivatized in the aqueous solution by diazotation and subsequent iodination.The derivativeswere extracted byHS-SPME using a PDMS/DVB fiber and analyzed by GC/MS. A D-optimal designwas used to study the parameters affecting the HS-SPME procedure and the derivatization step. Two experimentalfactors at two levels and one factor at three levels were considered: (i) reaction time, (ii) extraction temperature,and (iii) extraction time in the headspace. The interaction between the extraction temperature andextraction time was considered in the proposed model. The loadings in the sample mode estimated by aPARAFAC (parallel factor analysis) decomposition for each analyte were the response used in the design becausethey are proportional to the amount of analyte extracted. The optimum conditions for the best extraction of theanalytes were achieved when the reaction time was 20 min, the extraction temperature was 50 °C and theextraction time was 25 min. The interaction was significant.A calibration based on a PARAFAC decomposition provided the following values of decision limit (CCα): 1.07 μgL−1for A, 1.23 μg L−1 for 2,4-TDA and 0.83 μg L−1 for 4,4′-MDA for a probability of false positive fixed at 5%. Also, theaccuracy (trueness and precision) of the procedurewas assessed. Furthermore, all the analyteswere unequivocallyidentified.Finally, the method was applied to spiked water samples and polyamide cooking utensils (spoons). 3% (w/v)acetic acid in aqueous solution was used as food simulant for testing migration from polyamide kitchenware.Detectable levels of 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane and aniline were found in food simulant from some of theinvestigated cooking utensils.
