Objective To rapid identification of the source of cocoa butter in chocolate by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with microwave digestion. Methods The chocolate, cocoa butter chocolate and cocoa raw materials were accurately took 0.5000 g, respectively, added 5 mL concentrated nitric acid for microwave digestion and fixed capacity to 50 mL. The content of copper was analyzed. Results The recoveries of the method with the spiked levels of 0.10 and 0.15 mg/kg were 90.52%~100.83%, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was less than 1.4%, and the detection limit was 0.5 mg/kg. The order of content of Cu in chocolate were as follows: cocoa solids above 50%> cocoa solids below 50%>cocoa butter replacers. The content of Cu in chocolate with cocoa solids above 85% was comparable to the Cu content in cocoa solids and cocoa powder. Conclusion The proposed method is feasible to identify the source of cocoa butter in chocolate simply and conveniently.
