β-Cyclodextrin is a ring-shaped oligosaccharide composed of six glucopyranose. Its unique structure can enhance the stability, solubility, shelf life and color stability of guest molecules, and is widely used in foods, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. An analytical method for determiningβ-cyclodextrin in food by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS) was developed in this study. The specificity, linearity, matrix effect, limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy and repeatability were evaluated by spikingβ-cyclodextrin into the instant noodles, potato chips, beverages and chewing gums. The results showed that theβ-cyclodextrin had matrix interference in all samples, and the obtained matrix effect ranged from -25 to -64%, with a signal-inhibiting matrix effect. Its matrix-matched calibration curve has good linearity in the concentration range of 1-20μg/mL. The average recoveries ofβ-cyclodextrin were between 90.3-103.5%, and the coefficients of variation were between 0.8-5.9%. The LOQs forβ-cyclodextrin in instant noodles, snacks (potato, flour or starch as ingredients) and beverages were 0.1 g/kg, and those in chewing gum and bubble gum were 0.5 g/kg. This method was further applied to 20 commercial samples, and the results showed thatβ-cyclodextrin was not detected. |
