Surface analysis of permanent wave processing hair using DART-MS

IntroductionPermanent wave processing of hair is carried out at two processes as follows; (A) Reducing agent (permanent wave 1 agent) makes the bridge construction between the keratin protein molecular chains of hair, especially disul�de (S-S) bond of cystine residue cleaved to thiol (-SH) group and hear results a wave and curl.(B) Oxidizing agent (permanent wave 2 agent) makes -SH group oxidized to be reproduced S-S bond. As reducing agents used for permanent wave 1 agent, the thing of cosmetics approval, such as cysteamine hydrochloride and a butyrolactone thiol (brand name Spiera, other than quasi drugs, such as ammonium thioglycolate, acetyl cystein, and thiolactic acid, are used.

After hair is applying permanent wave processing and coloring repeatedly, the chemical structure of a keratin molecule and �ne structure in the hair have been damaged and it resulted as damage hair. It is thought that hair becomes dryness and twining if the cuticle which covers hair is damaged, so it is important to investigate the surface structure of hair and its chemical structure changing.DART (Direct Analysis in Real Time), a direct atmospheric pressure ionization source, is capable of analyzing samples directly with little or no sample preparation. Here, analysis of the ingredient which has deposited on the permanent wave processing hair surface was tried using this DART combined with a mass spectrometer.

The chemical state and property were investigated in the surface of the hair which repeated permanent wave processing with these reducing agents.

Surface analysis of permanent wave processing hair using DART-MS

Methods and MaterialsThe Chinese virgin hair purchased from the market was washed with the 0.5% non-ionic surfactant containing saturated EDTA solution, and then it was considered as untreated hair sample. Permanent wave processing of hair was prepared as following; the 0.6M TGA solution and 0.6M CA solution which were adjusted to pH8.5 with aqueous ammonia and the 0.6M BLT solution adjusted to pH6.0 with arginine water, which were used as a reducing

agent. After hair sample was reduced for 15 minutes at 35°C using each solvent, it was carried out oxidation treatment at 35°C by being immersed in 8% sodium bromate solution (pH7.2) for 15 minutes. LCMS-2020 (Shimadzu) was coupled with DART-OS ion source (IonSense) and hear samples were held onto DART gas �ow directly, then their surface analyzed.

Surface analysis of permanent wave processing hair using DART-MS

ResultAfter repeating operation of permanent wave processing 1-6 times using TGA (thioglycollic acid), CA (cysteamine), and BLT (Butyrolactonethiol), hair was immersed for 15 minutes at 35°C and with a �ush and air-drying, then permanent wave processing hair was prepared. In order to investigate the ingredient which has deposited on the permanent wave processing hair surface, DART-MS analysis

was performed. DART-MS analysis was conducted in order of #1 Untreated (woman hair), #2 control; ammonia treatment (pH 8.5), #3 0.6M thioglycolic acid (TGA) processing, #4 0.6M butyrolactone thiol (BLT) processing, #5 0.6M cysteamine hydrochloride (CA) processing and #6 control; arginine processing (pH 6).

In the DART mass spectra of #1 untreated and #6 control, many signals considered as triglyceride and diglyceride were detected in both positive and negative spectra obtained by DART-MS. In #3 0.6M thioglycolic acid (TGA) processing spectra, the signal in particular of TGA origin was not detected. In #4 BLT processing spectra (Figure 3), the signals considered to be oxidized BLT (3, 3'-dithiobis (tetrahydrofuran2-one), molecular weight 234) were detected at m/z 235 and 252 in the positive mode. The signal m/z 235 is equivalent to [M+H]+ and m/z 252, [M+NH4]+. In the negative mode, the signals, m/z 115,

231 were detected. They were considered the signal equivalent to [M-H]- and [2M-H]- of BLT oxide compound (C4H4O2S, molecular weight 116) in which two hydrogen atoms were removed from BLT. Carrying out permanent wave processing by BLT, it was found that the dimer of BLT accumulated on the cuticle surface.In #5 CA processing spectrum (Figure 5), the signal considered to be the dimer (Fw152) origin in which CA carried out S-S bond in the positive mode was detected at m/z 153. This is equivalent to [M+H]+.

In order to indicate clearly the signals specifically detected in each sample, the extraction chromatograms (XIC) were shown (Figure 5). It turned out that BLT-related signals were detected only in #4 and the CA-related signal in #5. Moreover, although the signal intensity was weak, the signal at negative m/z 325 was detected from all samples. Negative m/z 325 is equivalent to [M-H]- of 18

methyl eicosanoic acid (18MEA, molecular weight 326). 18MEA is one of lipid components which protect a cuticle. There is no significant difference of this signal in the hair between treated hair and untreated hair. We would like to inquire so that intensity difference can be found out by further verifying the detection technique in the future.

Analysis of allergens found in cosmetics using MDGC-GCMS (Multi-Dimensional Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer)

IntroductionCosmetics, fragrances and toiletries (Figure 1) are used safely by millions of people worldwide. Although many people have no problems, irritant and allergic reactions may occur. Irritant and allergic skin reactions are the types of contact dermatitis. Essential oils present in fragrance contain some natural and synthetic compounds, which may cause allergic reactions to the end user after application. There are 26 potential allergens listed by

European Directive (EU) 2003/15/EC and International Fragrance Association (IFRA)[1] labeled on cosmetics. Shimadzu MDGC-GCMS technology facilitates the identi�cation and quanti�cation of these allergens to comply with the threshold limits of 100 ppm for rinse-off products.Co-eluting peaks were resolved completely with the help of MDGC-GCMS heart-cut technique.

Figure 1. Cosmetics, fragrances and toiletries

Method of Analysis

Shampoo samples were collected from local market. Standard solutions of 23 allergens were procured from ACCU Standard and dilutions were carried out in Ethanol/Acetonitrile to yield 1000 ppm concentration. Further dilutions were made in methanol.MDGC-GCMS technique was effectively used to minimize matrix effect. Co-eluting peaks were resolved with heart-cut technique using two columns of different

polarities. In MDGC-GCMS, 1st instrument was GC-2010 Plus equipped with FID as a detector and 2nd instrument was GCMS-QP2010 Ultra with MS as a detector. Columns in both the instruments were connected with Deans switch. Allergens in shampoo samples were determined by using this technique. For sample preparation, following methodology was adopted.

Extraction of allergens from shampoo sample

Part method validation was carried out by performing system precision, sample precision, linearity and recovery study. For validation, solutions of different concentrations

were prepared using 40 ppm (actual concentration) standard stock solution mixture of allergens.

1) Blank Solution : 10 mL of methanol was transferred in 20 mL centrifuge tube and vortexed for 5 minutes. The mixture was then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 3000 rpm. This solution was filtered through 0.2 µm nylon syringe filter. Initial 2 mL was discarded and remaining filtrate was collected.

2) Sample Solution : 1 g of shampoo sample was weighed in 10 mL volumetric flask and diluted up to the mark with methanol. Above mixture was transferred in 20 mL centrifuge tube. Further processing was done as mentioned in blank solution.

3) Spike Sample Solution : For recovery study, 1 g of sample was spiked with different volumes of standard stock solution. The above procedure was repeated for preparing different concentration levels of allergens in samples. These spiked samples were treated as mentioned in sample solution.

For the quantitation studies, the shampoo sample was spiked with allergens standard to achieve 5, 10 and 15 ppm concentrations. Recovery studies were performed on 13 allergens, having co-elution or matrix interference, using heart-cut technique. The quantitation of these allergens was carried out using 2nd detector (MS) in SIM mode.

In below recovery study, some allergens had recovery value out side the acceptance limit (70-130 %). Optimization can be done by means of change in sample clean up procedure and filtration study.

Analysis of allergens found in cosmetics using MDGC-GCMS (Multi-Dimensional Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer)

Conclusion• MDGC-GCMS method was developed for quantitation of allergens present in cosmetics. Part method validation was

performed as per ICH guidelines.[2] Results obtained for reproducibility, linearity and recovery studies were well within acceptable limits.

• Simultaneous SCAN/SIM and high-speed scan rate 20,000 u/sec are the characteristic features of GCMS-QP2010 Ultra, which enables quantitation of allergens at very low concentration level.

• Matrix effect from cosmetics was selectively eliminated using MDGC-GCMS with multi-Deans switching unit and heart-cut technique.

• MDGC-GCMS was found to be very useful technique for simultaneous identi�cation and quantitation of components from complex matrix.
