| Abstract | Parabens are preservatives with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity widely used in cosmetics, foods and pharmaceuticals. Reports suggesting estrogenic activity and lack of appropriate data on safety of some parabens led to introduction of law legislation restricting their use in cosmetics. As a result, only methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben can be currently used in the European Union with concentrations restricted to below 1%. Therefore, a simple analytical method using HPLC with fluorescence detection was developed for the determination of these parabens in cosmetic products including tonics, micellar waters and eau de toilettes. The high sensitivity and selectivity of fluorescence detection (with excitation and emission wavelengths set to 254 nm and 310 nm, respectively) as well as appropriate chromatographic separation (with a methanol–water gradient on an octadecylsilica column) enabled analysis with very simple sample preparation including only a dilution step. The obtained limits of quantitation in the range from 24 to 46 μg mL−1 enabled the determination of parabens in accordance with the regulations issued by the European Parliament and the Council while only very simple and inexpensive laboratory equipment was used. Over 20 cosmetic samples were tested and the determined parabens were not exceeding the established limits. The samples were also subjected to HPLC analysis with mass spectrometric detection which confirmed the obtained results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
