A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry based method was validated to be used in the analysis of Lactic acid in different food/feed substrates. Validation results revealed that, the Limit of detection and Limit of quantitation values were 50 ng/ml. The Accuracy percentage values ranged from 99.3% to 130% and the linearity regression values were 0.9996 for Lactic acid. It can be concluded that, LC-MS/MS technique is a reliable, specific and accurate technique which can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of Lactic acid in different food/feed categories.
