Lactic acid quantitation in hand dishwashing liquid using an HILIC‐UV methodology

Abstract

Different hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) columns were screened for lactic acid separation in hand dishwashing liquid products and the influence of mobile phase strength, buffer concentration and column temperature on the retention of lactic acid on a Zorbax NH(2) column was investigated. An isocratic HILIC method for the quantitation of lactic acid in hand dishwashing liquid products was developed. The mobile phase consists of 70% methanol and 30% 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (v/v) at pH 2.5. The HILIC stationary phase is Zorbax NH(2), 250x4.6 with a 5 microm particle size. Detection was carried out using a variable wavelength UV-VIS detector at 226 nm. The linear range and percent recovery for lactic acid in the products were 44.68-1206.39 microg/mL and 100.3%, respectively. This paper provides an optimized HILIC methodology for the analysis of an acidic polar analyte (lactic acid) on a basic stationary phase. The proposed method can be used for the routine analysis of lactic acid.

Evaluation of multiple hydrophilic interaction chromatography columns and surrogate matrix for arginine quantification in saliva by high‐resolution mass spectrometry

“…An elevated temperature could also decrease retention time. When a temperature increase makes analyte retain longer on a column, the retention difference between individual analytes can be enlarged, resulting in improved resolution [19, 47]. In this study, a longer arginine retention time was observed at a higher column temperature.…”

HRMS Detector for the New HILIC CBD Method Development in Hemp Seed Oil

“…On the basis of our experience from the HILIC studies − and the literature review, , HILIC methods were explored for CBD quantification in hemp seed oil samples. The HILIC retaining power is mainly provided by hydrophilic partitioning, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, and adsorptive interactions, which are different from those of RP-HPLC.…”

Sensitive hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry method for rapid detection, quantification and confirmation of cathinone-derived designer drugs for doping control in equine plasma

“…As the pH of the mobile phase is increased over the acidic range, surface silanols become negatively charged resulting in increased polarity of the stationary phase. Increase in molar strength of the mobile phase results in increased retention of acidic compounds . Since the mechanism of the HILIC mode is orthogonal to reversed‐phase LC, the order of elution of the chromatograms of the target compounds on the C18 column (Fig.…”
