To establish a method for the determination of illegal additive caramel in Mume fructus by high performance liquid chromatography.
After the sample was extracted with water, ethanol was added for precipitation, the supernatant was discarded, and the sample was reconstituted with water and filtered. Luna SCX 100 Å (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) chromatography column was selected. The 10 mmol/L sodium dihydrogen phosphate was used as the mobile phase for isocratic elution and detected by a diode array detector.
Caramel exhibited a good linear relationship with peak area within the range of 0.0243–2.4300 mg/mL (r=0.9999);the limit of detection was 0.10 mg/kg; the limit of quantitation was 0.19 mg/kg; the average recovery rate was 90.1%,and the relative standard deviation was 1.8% (n=6).
This method has good sensitivity and high recovery rate, and is suitable for the detection of illegal additive caramel in Mume fructus.
