They were detected by tandem mass spectrometry in the negative ion multiple reaction monitoring（MRM）mode with ion transitions of m/z 469.3→355.3 for GA and m/z 354.1→185.0 for IS.The calibration curve was linear over GA concentration range of 0.5-500 ng/mL（r^20.99）,with intra-and inter-day precisions（RSD）of less than 7.1%,and mean extraction recovery of 74.3%.
