Abstract: Starch-rich foods will produce high concentration acrylamide by high temperature cooked. Acrylamide is probably carcinogenic to humans. A method for directly determining acrylamide in foods by GC/MS is defined. Acquisition mode is selected ion monitor (SIM).The linear range of this method is0.5～15.5mg/L, linear correlation coefficient is 0.99943, recovery is more than 94%, relative standard deviations is less than 5.4%, and the limits of quantification is 25μg/kg. This is a rapid and sensitive method.

Key words: acrylamide, GC/MS, solid phase extraction, food
