Description

<p>A simultaneous determination method for caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline in chocolate was developed. Three compounds were ultrasonically extracted twice (15 min at 50℃) in an acetonitrile–water (1 : 1, v/v). The extract was purified using Oasis HLB SPE cartridge, and the purified processed by LC-MS. The method exhibited recoveries of 97.4–100.2%, RSDs of repeatability of 1.0–2.8%, and RSDs of within-laboratory reproducibility of 2.0–7.9%. This method was simpler and more selective than existing methods, and was practical for caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline analysis in chocolate.</p>
