A fast and simple method to determine vitamin B12 in foods is presented. The method allows, in addition to the determination of added cyanocobalamin, the determination of natural vitamin B12 forms, making it also applicable to nonfortified products, especially those that are milk-based. Vitamin B12 is extracted in sodium acetate buffer in the presence of sodium cyanide (100C, 30 min). After purification and concentration with an immunoaffinity column, vitamin B12 is determined by liquid chromatography with UV detection (361 nm). The method has been validated in analyses of a large range of products: milk- and soy-based infant formulas, cereals, cocoa beverages, health care products, and polyvitamin premixes. The method showed appropriate performance characteristics: linear response over a large range of concentrations, recovery rates of 100.8 7.5 (average standard deviation), relative standard deviation of repeatability, RSDr, of 2.1, and intermediate reproducibility, RSDiR, of 4.3. Limits of detection and quantitation were 0.10 and 0.30 g/100 g, respectively, and correlation with the reference microbiological assay was good (R2= 0.9442). The proposed method is suitable for the routine determination of vitamin B12 in fortified foods, as well as in nonfortified dairy products. It can be used as a faster, more selective, and more precise alternative to the classical microbiological determination.
