For improving quality control in the fermented tea production process and advancing the corresponding food labeling with function claims, a rapid and robust hesperidin analysis method using LC-MS/MS with the sample dilution approach was developed by following internationally accepted criteria of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). The linear correlation coefficient (r 2 ) of the regression line was 0.9997 in the concentration range of 0.025 -2.5 mg/L. The matrix effect evaluated using regression line slope values was negligible. The recovery rate of 100.7% indicated improved trueness. The performance of the newly developed method in determining the hesperidin content of fermented tea samples did not significantly vary from that of a well-established, conventional method. The HorRat values of intra-and inter-laboratory reproducibility studies were both within the acceptable range, indicating sufficient accuracy of the newly developed method according to the AOAC criteria.
