A reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been described for the determination of various active forms of vitamin B6 in meat products. Different extracting agents were tested to solubilize fully the analyte for quantification. The best data were obtained by extracting the samples with 5% (w/v) metaphosphoric acid. Separation by HPLC was performed with fluorescence detection (excitation, 290 nm; emission, 395 nm), on a 10 cm × 0.46 cm i.d. Hypersil BDS C18 5 μm column using a mixture of 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.2) and acetonitrile (99:1, v/v) as mobile phase. Precision of the method was 0.5% (within a day) and 4.3% (between days). The detection limits were 0.020 mg/100 g for pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, 0.017 mg/100 g for pyridoxamine phosphate, 0.500 mg/100 g for pyridoxal phosphate, and 0.033 mg/100 g for pyridoxol, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The recovery ranged from 92.0 to 100.0%. Keywords: Vitamin B6; pyridoxine; pyridoxal; pyridoxamine; cooked sausages; HPLC
A simple and rapid method for determining riboflavin content in cooked sausages by ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography has been set up. Samples were subjected to acid and enzymatic hydrolysis. Sample extracts were directly chromatographed, avoiding purification and concentration treatment. Final determination was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (excitation, 227 nm; emission, 520 nm), on a 25 cm x 4 mm i.d. Spherisorb ODS-2 cartridge using a mixture of 5 mM heptanesulfonic acid adjusted to pH 2.7 with phosphoric acid and acetonitrile (75:25, v/v) as mobile phase. Precision of the method was 1.3% (within a day) and 2.6% (between days). The detection limit was 0.015 mg/100 g. The recovery was >95%.
The purpose of this paper was to study and optimize both extraction and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)-UV detection procedures to develop a proper method for the determination of ascorbic acid content in cooked sausages. A simple and sensitive reversed-phase HPLC method for the NH2-bonded phase has been described for the determination of ascorbic acid content in cooked sausages. Various extracting agents were tested to solubilize the vitamin, with 5% (wt/vol) metaphosphoric acid giving the best results. Samples were chromatographed with UV detection at 248 nm on a 25-cm Spherisorb NH2 cartridge with a 0.4-cm inside diameter with a mixture of 0.02 M potassium phosphate buffer solution (pH 3.6) and acetonitrile (40:60, vol/vol) for the mobile phase. The method's precision within a day was 1.2%, and its precision between days was 3.8%. The detection limit was 1.6 mg/100 g. Recovery ranged from 91.4 to 96.2% for ascorbic acid added to meat samples. Twenty samples of six different products were analyzed in duplicate. For the samples analyzed, the mean value for ascorbic acid ranged between 21.555 and 24.899 mg/100 g of fresh weight.
A simple and sensitive method for determining simultaneously nicotinic acid and nicotinamide content in cooked sausages by ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography is described. Samples are extracted with ultrapure water, centrifuged, deproteinized with zinc hydroxide, filtered, and chromatographed with UV detection at 261 nm on a 25 cm x 4 mm i.d. Spherisorb ODS-2 cartridge using as mobile phase a mixture consisting of 5 mM heptanesulfonic acid adjusted to pH 3.3 with phosphoric acid and acetonitrile (75:25, v/v). Both vitamins are measured on a reversed-phase column with a single ion-pair reagent. Precision of the method was 0.5 and 1.0% (within a day) and 2.3 and 4.5% (between days) for nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, respectively. The detection limit was 0.300 mg/100 g. The recovery was >92% of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide added to samples of meats. Twenty samples of six different products have been analyzed in duplicate. The mean value for nicotinic acid ranged between 0.908 and 1.267 mg/100 g of fresh weight and for nicotinamide between 1.968 and 2.880 mg/100 g of fresh weight.
A reliable and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been set up for the determination of total thiamin in difficult sample matrices such as cooked sausages. Different hydrolysis conditions and enzymes were tested to release the vitamin from its phosphate ester. The best data in the enzymatic digestion were obtained by incubating the samples with 6% clara-diastase at 50 degrees C for 3 h. After oxidation of thiamin to thiochrome, the sample extracts were purified by using a C(18) Sep-Pak cartridge. Final determination was performed by reversed-phase HPLC with fluorescence detector (excitation 360 nm, emission 430 nm), on a low-cost 25 cm x 4 mm i.d. Spherisorb C(8) cartridge using a mixture of 5 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.0 and acetonitrile (70:30, v/v) as mobile phase. Precision of the method was 1.5% (within a day) and 5. 2% (between days). The detection limit was 0.015 mg/100 g. All the recoveries from the different cooked sausages were better than 90% of thiamin hydrochloride added to samples of meats. In the samples analyzed, the mean value for thiamin was between 0.039 and 0.508 mg/100 g fresh weight.
