“…Compared to UV‐Vis and fluorescence detection methods, LC‐MS/MS allows for simultaneous detection of triphenylmethane dyes, without post‐column oxidation and with superior sensitivity and selectivity (Ding et al., ). A few LC‐MS/MS methods have been proposed for the analysis of CV, LCV, MG, and/or LMG in fish (Ascari et al., ; Chen et al., ; Giaccome et al., ; Hurtaud‐Pessel, Couëdor, & Verdon, ; Lee et al., ; Xu et al., ), but none has yet received general acceptance. As confirmed by available reports, the potential for misuse and illegal use of triphenylmethane dyes in fish remains high (Andersen et al., ; Giaccome et al., ; Lee et al., ; Love, Rodman, Neff, & Nachman, ), which underscores the need for sensitive detection and widespread testing of fish products sold on various markets.…”
