An analytical method for determining thiamine dilaurylsulfate in soy sauce by an ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph/tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile and fractionated on a Hypersil GOLD C8 column (1.9μm, 2.1×150 mm) with gradient elution of acetonitrile containing 0.15% formic acid and deionized water containing 0.15% formic acid at a flow rate of 0.45 mL/min. Quantification was performed using the matrix-matched calibration, which was found linear in the concentration range of 25 to 500 ng/mL, and the correlation coefficient was 0.9998. The accuracy, precision and limit of quantification were evaluated by spiking thiamine dilauryl sulfate into the blank matrix at 0.001 and 0.01 g/kg, which was estimated as lauryl sulfate. For the soy sauce sample, the average recoveries of lauryl sulfate were 91.8 and 94.9%, the intraday coefficients of variation were 4.8 and 1.9%, and the inter-day coefficients of variation were 5.2% and 5.1%, respectively. The limit of quantification was 0.001 g/kg. This analytical method was further applied to 7 commercial soy sauce samples. The results showed that no dilauryl sulfate was detected and no matrix interference was found in all samples. This method has been published as“Method of Test for Thiamine Dilaurylsulfate in Soy Sauce (TFDAA0096.00)”on the TFDA official website. |
