The Quantitation and Identification of Artificial Sweeteners in Food and Drink by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

The method described in this application note, shows how LC-MS/MS can be used to simultaneously detect and confirm the presence of several artificial sweeteners. The method is both quicker than conventional non LC-MS/MS methods and more sensitive. This has meant that these compounds can be detected in samples below ingredient levels using a simple dilute and shoot approach.
