The presence of potential carcinogen 4(5)-Methylimidazole (4-MeI) in foods causes much concern, stressing the need of a sensitive determination means. Here, we proposed a high-sensitivity method to determine 4-MeI in biscuits using dansyl chloride derivatization and disperse liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) followed by a liquid chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-IT-MS) analysis. This developed method was subsequently compared to the solid phase extraction combining with liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-QqQ-MS) method. The optimized derivatization conditions were 30 °C and 10 min. Results suggested that the column retention time (RT) was significantly extended, and the MS signal response of 4-MeI-dansyl derivative was also amplified. The developed DLLME-LC-IT-MS method in 4-MeI determination provided satisfactory linearity in a range of 0.5–300 ng/mL (R2 > 0.9991), inter-day accuracy (87-102%) and precision (%RSD ≤ 13.6%) with the quantification limit of 0.2 ng/mL, which obtained similar results comparing to the conventional SPE-LC-QqQ-MS method.
