Me and my colleagues are looking for a quantative GC-FID/MS method for the determination of erucamide in polyolefin foil. Most of the articles suggest pressurized solvent extraction. We are not capable to carry out this type of sample preparation. Is it possible to fully extract all the erucamide from the polyolefin by the use of normal solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction or ultrasonic extraction?
Dear Rick,
that's an interesting technical question. According to the following article both Soxhlet extraction and ultrasonic extraction are possible:

Fortunately this useful paper has been posted by the authors as public full text on RG. Thus you can freely download it as pdf file.
Good luck with your work!
