Abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) was developed for the determination of red 2G in sausage. Sausage samples were extracted twice with 0.662 mol/L NH3 ·H2O and the extract was cleaned up on a C18 column. Red 2G was analyzed by HPLC with diode array detector and confirmed by UPLC-MS/MS. The limit of quantification (LOQ) of HPLC was 0.106 mg/kg and the average recoveries ranged from 79.0% to 86.5% with RSD values between 3.19% and 5.06%. The LOQ of UPLC-MS/MS was 0.005 mg/kg and the average recoveries ranged from 75.5% to 80.2% with RSD values between 3.62% and 9.97%. The developed HPLC method and UPLC-MS method can be applied for the determination and confirmation of red 2G in sausage.
