Abstract: A method based on high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) was developed for determination of vitamin B12 in formula foods. The samples were purified by HLB solid phase extraction column after pretreatment, then separated on a C18 reversed phase chromatography column by isometric elution using a mobile phase consisting of methanol and 8 mM ammonium acetate aqueous solution ( 19:81,V/V),Vitamin B12 was determined indirectly with the detection of cobalt ions in samples by ICP-MS. The results showed that the analysis can be completed within 7 min, and the target compound has a good peak type. A good linearity was obtained in the range of 0.1~500 μg/L for vitamin B12, and the correlation coefficients was 0.999. The limits of detection (LOD) was 0.02 μg/kg. The average recoveries of the method was ranged from 81.3 % to 103.6 % with relative standard deviations ranged from 0.4 % to 4.6 % in different food matrix at three spiked levels (n = 6). The method is simple, fast, sensitive, strong resistance to Matrix interference, and wide dynamic range. It can be used for the determination of vitamin B12 in various formula foods.

Key words: high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS), formula food, vitamin B12
