So far, there is no report on the quality evaluation of lemonade available in the market. In this study, a sample preparation method was developed for the determination of flavonoid glycosides by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) based on vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. First, potential flavonoids in lemonade were scanned and identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF/MS). Five flavonoid glycosides were identified as eriocitrin, narirutin, hesperidin, rutin, and diosmin according to the molecular formula provided by TOF/MS and subsequent confirmation of the authentic standard. Then, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ/MS) method was developed to determine these five flavonoid glycosides in lemonade. The results showed that the content of rutin in some lemonade was unreasonably high. We suspected that many illegal manufacturers achieved the goal of low-cost counterfeiting lemonade by adding rutin. This suggested that it was necessary for relevant departments of the state to make stricter regulations on the quality standards of lemonade beverages.Keywords:vortex-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction;flavonoid glycoside;UPLC-MS;counterfeiting lemonade

A magnetic porous covalent triazine-based organic polymer (M-PCTP) was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The M-PCTP combined both the properties of the PCTP and the magnetism of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles, possessing highly porous structure and good magnetism. It was used as a magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) adsorbent to extract carbamate pesticides (propoxur, carbaryl, isoprocarb, fenobcarb and diethofencarb) from lemonade and grape juice samples prior to high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric detection. Under the optimal conditions, a good linearity for the real samples was received in the range from 0.10–0.90 to 80.00 ng mL −1 with the correlation coefficients of 0.9882–0.9983. The method recoveries for the five carbamates were 86.3–108.0%. The limits of detection were 0.02–0.20 ng mL −1 for lemonade sample, and 0.04-0.30 ng mL −1 for grape juice sample. The M-PCTP also demonstrated good extraction capabilities for other different kinds of organic compounds including chlorophenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
