Title: Determination of vitamin D2 in emulsified nutritional supplements by solid-phase extraction and column-switching high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Author: Iwase H. Journal: J Chromatogr A; 2000 Jun 09; 881(1-2):189-96. PubMed ID: 10905703. Abstract: This paper deals with a method for solid-phase extraction of trace amounts of vitamin D2 (VD2, 19 ng/g) from emulsified nutritional supplements, which contain 50 kinds of compounds, followed by column-switching high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection at 265 nm. VD2 is present at 1000-20,000,000 times lower concentration than other components. Bond Elut C18 cartridge was chosen as for the emulsified nutritional supplements after comparison with eight other types. A sample solution was applied to the solid-phase extraction cartridge and VD2 was eluted by methanol followed by HPLC. The effects of sample pH, eluent composition and eluate volume on the retention and elution of VD2 on Bond Elut C18 cartridge were examined. The resulting method was simple, rapid (analysis time: approximately 20 min), sensitive (detection limit: approximately 0.1 ng per injection (200 microl) at a signal-to-noise ratio 3:1), and reproducible (relative standard deviation: approximately 6.2%, n=5). The calibration graph for VD2 was linear in the range of 0.1-3 ng per injection (200 microl). Recovery of VD2 was approximately 80% by the standard addition method.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
