Abstract

Abstract:

A HPLC method was presented for the rapid determination of aspartame and its metabolite in commercial beverages. The analytes were separated on a ZORBAX SB-C18 column using a mobile phase composed of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile (85:15, V/V) and detected using a DAD detector at 210 wavelength. The limits of detection of phenylalanine and aspartame by the method were 0.8 and 2.4 ng, respectively. There was a good linear relationship between concentration and peak area, and the correlation coefficients were 0.9998 and 0.9994, respectively. The spiked recoveries were 96.3% and 98.5%, respectively, with a RSD less than 2%. The method is simple, rapid and highly sensitive.

Key words: beverage, aspartame, phenylalanine, HPLC
