National Food Safety Standard - Determination of Sucralose
in Foods
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the high performance liquid chromatography and high performance
liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of sucralose in foods.
This Standard is applicable to the determination of sucralose in foods.
Method I - High Performance Liquid Chromatography
2 Principle
The sucralose in the specimen is extracted with methanol-water solution to remove protein and
fat. After purification by a solid phase extraction column, evaporation to dryness, redissolution
and enrichment, a high-performance liquid chromatograph is used, and a reversed-phase C18
chromatographic column is used for separation. A differential detector or an evaporative light-
scattering detector is adopted for detection. In accordance with the retention time of the
chromatographic peak, conduct qualitative determination. Adopt the external standard method
for quantitative determination.

it, collect all the eluent and evaporate it to dryness on a boiling water bath. Use 1.00 mL of
water to dissolve the residue (if the solution is turbid, it can be transferred into a centrifuge tube,
