Agilent G6410 Rapid Sensitive Analysis Method for Sudan Reds in Curry Chili Powder Using LC/MS/MS Application Note
The document presents an analytical method developed for detecting Sudan Red I, II, III, IV, and Para Red in various matrices such as curry powder, red pepper powder, and Worcestershire sauce. The method utilizes the Agilent G6410 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS system with electrospray ionization (ESI) operated in positive mode to meet EU testing requirements for these prohibited food colorants.
The procedure details sample preparation techniques involving extraction with ethyl acetate, ultrasonication, and filtration. It specifies the chromatographic conditions using a ZORBAX XDB C18 column and provides specific Mass Spectrometry settings, including MRM transitions, fragmentor voltages, and collision energies optimized for each analyte to ensure high sensitivity and selectivity.
