Application of ion-trap LC/MS/MS for determination of acrylamide in processed foods.
Ion-trap LC/MS/MS was evaluated for use in the determination of acrylamide (AA) in processed foods. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) analysis of a series of AA standard solutions containing deuterium-labeled acrylamide (AA-d3) as an internal standard was performed. A linear relationship between the concentration of AA and the ratio of peak area (AA/AA-d3) in the extracted ion chromatogram (m/z 55, 58 derived from m/z 72, 75, respectively) was obtained over a wide range of 2-20,000 ng/mL. The quantification limit of AA was 2 ng/mL. In analyses of 37 commercial foods, AA was detected in a potato snack at the maximum value of 3,570 ng/g and found in 23 foods prepared or cooked at high temperature. The samples were analyzed in triplicate and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 15% in many processed foods.
