Research Progress on Detection Methods of Synthetic Sweeteners in Food
Synthetic sweeteners are widely used in food owing to their low calorie content and high sweetness.However,excessive use can still increase many health risks and cause harm to the human body.People have attached great importance to the use of additives in recent years.So the detection of sweeteners in food has become a key task in the field of food additive detection.There are many detection methods for synthetic sweeteners in food,including spectroscopic detection technology,electrochemical detection technology,chromatographic detection technology,etc.With its simple and convenient pre-treatment technology and the ability to connect to different detectors,liquid chromatography is still the most commonly used method.This article summarized the current national standard testing methods for synthetic sweeteners in food in China,and reviews the research progress of detection methods for synthetic sweeteners in food both domestically and internationally in recent years.The future trends of detection method for synthetic sweeteners in foods were also prospected.In addition,optimization of pre-treatment methods,optimization of detection conditions,and expansion of tandem mass spectrometry detection methods for high-performance liquid chromatography were also introduced,providing reference information for related research.
