The invention relates to a method for detecting
cetilistat in a weight-losing health-care product. The method comprises the following steps: providing a reference substance solution, wherein a reference substance in the reference substance solution contains
cetilistat; taking a weight-losing health-care product sample, extracting with
methanol, collecting an extracting solution, and preparing a
test solution; and detecting the reference solution and the
test solution by adopting a
high performance liquid chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry method, and determining whether the weight-losing health-care product sample contains the
cetilistat or / and the content of the cetilistat according to a detection result. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the separation and detection of the cetilistat in the weight-losing health-care product are realized by adopting a proper extraction
solvent and matching with proper detection conditions, the technical blank of the detection of the cetilistat in the weight-losing health-care product is filled, and a theoretical basis is laid for applying a
high performance liquid chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry technology to the detection of the cetilistat in the weight-losing health-care product.
