Abstract

A simple capillary gas chromatographic method was developed to assay propylenethiourea (PTU) and ethylenethiourea (ETU) residues in beer, hops, and grapes without derivatization. The limit of sensitivity was shown to be 0.005 ppm by using a flame photometric detector, FPD (sulfur mode, 394 nm). Residues of PTU/ETU in some commercial beers (1979) are also reported.
