Heavy metal pollution has been one of the major influencing factor to food safety, which attracts more and more attention from all over the world. Hence, it is very important to establish a new detection method of metal in food. Application of an emerging, green and environment benign separation and enrichment process, cloud point extraction were introduced, combined with atomic absorption spectroscopy. Cloud point extraction is economic, safe, simple and highly efficient, which has been widely used in the sample pretreatment of metal detections in food. This paper discussed the basic principle of cloud point extraction. Several factors were elaborated, such as the species and concentration of surfactants, pH values, equilibrium temperature and time, as well as the concentration of chelating reagents, which influenced the extraction efficiency and enrichment factor. In addition, the applications of cloud point extraction combined with the flame atomic absorbance spectroscopy on the metal determination in food were reviewed. Finally, the development trend of cloud point extraction technology in modern food detection was prospected.
