High Performance Liquid Chromatography Analysis of Grape and Wine Polyphenols
2008
Integrating analytical resolutions in non-targeted wine metabolomics
2015
Direct injection Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS), and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS) were combined for the non-targeted analysis of wine metabolites. The unrivalled resolution on mass measurement allowed by the former and the separation ability of isomeric and isobaric substances by the latter, clearly increases the scope of detectable unknown metabolites in wines. Such methodology is illustrated through the comparison of chemical spaces of a young and an older Pinot noir wine. RP and HILIC chromatography could reveal up to five isomers for a given mass, throughout the explored mass range. CHO, CHOS …
Concentration of ochratoxin A in wines from supermarkets and stores of Valencian Community (Spain)
2004
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by fungi species belonging to the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium being isolated in alcoholic beverages. The aim of this work is developed and applied a procedure for the analysis of OTA in wines. An analytical method based on immunoaffinity column (IAC) for clean-up, liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC-FD), and LC-FD after of OTA methylation was used to determine the occurrence of OTA in wines. Recoveries of this mycotoxin spiked to red wines at 0.5 ng/ml level were >90% with an average of relative standards deviations of 4%. Furthermore, 116 wine samples from designation of origin (DO) and three samples from food stores of Va…
The use of core-shell high-performance liquid chromatography column technology to improve biogenic amine quantification in wine
2015
BACKGROUND HPLC column technology has been improved, providing better resolution of closely eluting compounds, better analyte sensitivity, and shorter analysis times. The core-shell technology columns offer a faster analysis through the use of shorter columns without compromising resolution. The aim of this work was to improve the methods for determination of biogenic amines (BAs) in wine using the new HPLC PFP core-shell column technology. RESULTS Two different elution programs were designed to quantify BAs with the core-shell PFP column. Program I flow rate was 2 mL min−1. The total elution time was 10 min. In elution program II, the flow rate was 0.8 mL min−1 and the total elution time w…
Purification method for the isolation of monophosphate nucleotides from Champagne wine and their identification by mass spectrometry
2001
Monophosphate nucleotides are difficult to identify in Champagne wine because they are present in small concentrations in a complex mixture. A method for the isolation, separation and identification of reference compounds, which achieved on average 79% recovery (except for cytidine derivatives), was developed and applied to wine. Some monophosphate nucleotides were then isolated from a Champagne wine aged on lees for 8 years, by ultrafiltration followed by a semi-preparative HPLC step using a strong anion-exchange column. The fraction obtained was subjected to HPLC in a reversed-phase column to remove the salt previously introduced, before identification of compounds by HPLC coupled to a ma…
Applications of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for food analysis.
2012
Abstract HPLC–MS applications in the agrifood sector are among the fastest developing fields in science and industry. The present tutorial mini-review briefly describes this analytical methodology: HPLC, UHPLC, nano-HPLC on one hand, mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) on the other hand. Analytical results are grouped together based on the type of chemicals analyzed (lipids, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, vitamins, flavonoids, mycotoxins, pesticides, allergens and food additives). Results are also shown for various types of food (ham, cheese, milk, cereals, olive oil and wines). Although it is not an exhaustive list, it illustrates the main current directions of appli…
Enhanced calculation of optimal gradient programs in reversed-phase liquid chromatography
2003
Abstract The resolution of a mixture of 16 β-blockers under gradient elution was optimised using both isocratic and gradient training sets, with a reversed-phase column and acetonitrile–water eluents. Error theory was applied to measure the information extracted from different gradient experimental designs. This allows checking the expected accuracy when gradient predictions exceed the initial solvent concentrations tested in the training set. This work applies the results on modelling found in a previous study [J. Chromatogr. A 1018 (2003) 169] where the performance of several retention models was compared. Enhanced retention predictions were applied to the optimisation of gradient program…
Peak dispersion in gradient elution: An insight based on the plate model.
2020
Gradient elution in liquid chromatography reduces the analysis time, improves the efficiency and increases the peak capacity. The study of this chromatographic mode has been based mainly on kinetic dispersion models. The plate model has been applied to a lesser extent, despite being the basis for the concepts of plate height and chromatographic efficiency. In this work, a general equation describing peak dispersion in HPLC gradient elution is derived from the plate model. This equation is studied and validated for three types of gradients: (i) a reference gradient without ramp in which the retention factor varies with time identically throughout the column, (ii) a gradient of stationary pha…
Combined effect of solvent content, temperature and pH on the chromatographic behaviour of ionisable compounds.
2008
The organic solvent content and the pH in the mobile phase are the usual main factors in reversed-phase liquid chromatographic separations, owing to their strong effects on retention and/or selectivity. Temperature is often neglected. However, even in cases where the impact of this factor on selectivity is minor, the reduction in analysis time is still an interesting reason to consider it. In addition, ionisable compounds may exhibit selectivity changes, owing to the interaction of organic solvent and/or temperature with pH. The separation of ionisable compounds (nine diuretics: bendroflumethiazide, benzthiazide, bumetanide, chlorthalidone, furosemide, piretanide, probenecid, trichloromethi…
Retention behaviour of volatile compounds in normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography on a diol column
1993
Abstract Retention data on a diol column for over 300 compounds of the chemical classes usually contained in aroma extracts of plants and foodstuffs are reported. A concept that largely corrects for minor fluctuations of the mobile phase composition and of the flow-rate was used to measure capacity factors. The mobile phase was composed of pentane and diethyl ether. The high volatility of these two solvents makes the method perfectly adaptable to the prefractionation of aroma extracts and the semi-preparative isolation of compounds. Non-polar compounds such as hydrocarbons are not retained on diol. Polar compounds can be readily eluted, with the exception of strong acids and bases.
