Objective

To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of 9 kinds of sweeteners(neotame, aspartame, alitame, aspartame, sodium cyclamate, acesulfame potassium, saccharin sodium, sucralose and stevioside) in chocolate by high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/electrostatic field orbital hydrazine high resolution mass spectrometry.

Methods

The chocolate samples were hydrolyzed with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid at 60 ℃ for 1 h, then passed through an HLB solid-phase extraction column. The eluate was nitrogen-blown, and the residue was dissolved in water and made up to 1.0 mL. After thorough vortex mixing, it was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane. Separation was performed on a Phenomenex C18 (100 mm×4.6 mm, 2.6 μm) chromatographic column using a gradient elution program with acetonitrile-water solution as the mobile phase. Mass spectrometry was conducted in negative ion mode, with a scanning range of 100–1000 m/z. The secondary scan mode was fullMS-ddMS, and quantification was carried out by the external standard method.

Results

Under the established chromatographic conditions, 9 kinds of sweeteners could be well separated. The limits of detection for the 9 kinds of sweeteners were 7.0 μg/kg, and the limits of quantitation were 20.0 μg/kg. The linear relationship was good within the concentration range of 20–200 ng/mL, and the correlation coefficients were all greater than 0.99. Through spiked verification, the average recovery range of the 3 levels was in the range of 75.3%–110.2%, with a relative standard deviations in the range of 3.2%–8.9%.

Conclusion

This method is efficiency and rapid for sample pretreatment. It can be used for high-throughput determination of 9 kinds of sweeteners in chocolate. The established method provides a reliable and accurate technical means for trace detection of sweeteners in food, and is of great significance for regulating the use of food additives in food.
