HPLC Assay of Tomato Carotenoids: Validation of a Rapid Microextraction Technique

Abstract: Carotenoids are studied for their role as pigments and as precursors of aromas, vitamin A, abscisic acid, and antioxidant compounds in different plant tissues. A novel, rapid, and inexpensive analytical protocol is proposed to enable the simultaneous analysis of four major tomato carotenoids: lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene, and phytoene. Microextraction is performed in the presence of sodium chloride, n-hexane, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate on fresh tomato powder that has been finely ground in liquid nit… Show more

“…Caballo et al (2012) proposed a microextraction of carotenoids using a supramolecular solvent consisting of decanoic acid assemblies to simplify carotenoid determination in farmed salmonids, but this is a specific method for ketocarotenoids. Sérino et al (2009) suggested a microextraction of tomato carotenoids (lutein, lycopene, b-carotene, and phytoene) using sodium chloride, n-hexane, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate.…”

“…β-carotene content was determined by a spectrophotometric method with samples being subjected to saponification with potassium hydroxide water -alcohol solution, vitamin extraction with diethyl ether, vitamin separation by chromatography on an aluminum oxide column, and quantitative determination of vitamins by photometric method (Sérino et al, 2009).…”
