Abstract:

In order to determine adrenalin and dopamine in animal-derived foods, a sensitive and rapid HPLC-MS-MS method was established. The standard curve was linear within the concentration range of 3-1500  μg/kg. The spike recovery rates of adrenalin and dopamine at high, medium and low levels averaged 90%-101%. Meanwhile, the limit of detection was 1 μg/kg for adrenalin and 3 μg/kg for dopamine, respectively. This method is simple, sensitive and highly selective so that it can be extensively applied in food quality control.

Key words: adrenalin, dopamine, animal food, HPLC-MS-MS method
