The method for simultaneously determining multiple
nitrophenol compounds in different food matrices according to the present invention involves preparing a series of mixed solutions with different concentrations of 2,4-
dinitrophenol, 2,5-
dinitrophenol, 2,6-
dinitrophenol, 3,4-dinitrophenol, and 3,5-dinitrophenol using
acetonitrile-
acetic acid solution as
standard samples; the food matrices to be tested are then subjected to extraction and purification treatment. The sample was obtained through a process; then, high-performance liquid
chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the sample and standard to obtain the concentrations of 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,5-dinitrophenol, 2,6-dinitrophenol, 3,4-dinitrophenol, and 3,5-dinitrophenol in the sample. The content of each
nitrophenol compound in the food matrix was then calculated based on the concentrations of 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2,5-dinitrophenol, 2,6-dinitrophenol, 3,4-dinitrophenol, and 3,5-dinitrophenol in the sample.
