Abstract

A rapid and simple high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for simultaneous analysis of 15 key chemicals in slimming foods and herbal products. These chemicals were strictly restricted adulterants (phenolphthalein, sibutramine, fenfluramine, clopamide, ephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, caffeine and phenformin) and physiologically relevant active components (l-carnitine, nuciferine, aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion). In multi-day validations, intra- (n = 5) and inter-day precision (n = 3), limits of detection and limits of quantification for all analytes were 0.60-7.22%, 0.75-9.45%, 0.09-10 μg/L and 0.30-33.3 μg/L, respectively. Mean recovery ranged from 71.4% to 116% for all analytes in three representative samples. The method was validated on 17 samples including 12 kinds of slimming foods and five kinds of herbal products, and was shown to be ideal for routine quantification of 15 key chemicals in slimming foods and herbal products, providing an efficient strategy for quality control and food safety evaluation of weight reducing supplements.
