Chromatographic Analysis of Trans Resveratrol in Italian Wines: Comparisons between FL, UV and MS Detection

Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin that belongs to the group of stilbenes, known to occur in grapes and consequently in grape products. Its presence in wine is an important qualitative parameter because of the several beneficial effects on human health. The aim of this work is the development of a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of trans resveratrol in wines, and comparisons between the results obtained by different detection techniques: UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Resveratrol is analysed on a C-18 column using gradient elution. The method permits direct injection of sample, revealing to be time-saving, overcoming the need of sample pre-treatment steps. Detection limits were 154.8 ng mL⁻¹ by HPLC-UV, 118.0 ng mL⁻¹ by HPLC-FL and 48.0 ng mL⁻¹ by HPLC-MS. Trans resveratrol has been then quantified in a group of 52 wines derived from different Italian regions, cultivars and winemaking technologies by HPLC-UV.

A calorimetric study of the glass transition kinetics in polyisoprene

The connection between the dielectric and calorimetric relaxation behaviours of synthetic polyisoprene Cariflex IR 305 is studied. A similar comparison of dielectric and dilatometric results was described in [1]. The heat capacity was measured during heating of samples prepared with different thermal history. Experimental results were compared with the heat capacity curves calculated for a model based on the multiparameter theory of Kovacs et al. [4]. The model considers the relaxation system as being composed of a set of subsystems characterized by different relaxation times. The distribution of relaxation times and their temperature dependence were taken from the diclectric measurement. The relaxation time of a subsystem from posed to depend, not only on the actual, temperature of the sample, but also on the deviation of this subsystem from equilibrium, or alternatively, on the deviation of the system as a whole. The comparison between the measured and modeled curves shows that both influences must be taken into account in order to explain the experimental results.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. W. Pechhold on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

Thermodynamics of molecular interactions in ethyl iodide+toluene mixtures

The excess Gibb's free energy of mixing, G^E, for ethyl iodide+toluene at 25°C have been obtained from the measured vapor pressuure data. The H^E and G^E values for ethyl iodide+toluene are positive throughout the ethyl iodide concentration range and G^E>H^E. The results have been analyzed in terms of Flory and ideal associated model theory of nonelectrolyte solutions. It has been observed that the ideal associated model approach which assumes the presence of AN and A₂B molecular species describes well (within±10 J-mol^–1 in the worst case) the general dependence of H^E on X_A (mole fraction of ethyl iodide) over the whole composition range for ethyl iodide+toluene mixtures. The equilibrium constants for A+A AB and 2A+BA₂B reactions along with the enthalpies of formation of AB and A₂B molecular species have been calculated.     

The spatial distribution of poly(methyloctylsiloxane) deposited by solvent evaporation in the pores of HPLC silica particles

Summary Poly(methyloctylsiloxane) (PMOS), sorbed into the pores of HPLC silica particles by solvent evaporation, can function as a useful stationary phase for reversed-phase chromatography. The present work addresses the question of how the PMOS is distributed in the pores. Measurements of the surface area (BET, N₂) of a series of partially loaded samples (0–40% PMOS, m/m) using a typical batch of HPLC silica (10 μm irregular particles with 6 nm pores) show that the specific surface area of the samples decreases linearly with the specific loading (mass of PMOS per gram of silica). This result is not consistent with a “film” model in which the PMOS is deposited uniformly on the pore walls, but is consistent with a model in which long segmented “plugs” of PMOS are deposited within the pore system.

HPLC of synthetic polymers characterization of polystyrenes by high performance precipitation liquid chromatography (HPPLC)

Summary The advantages and disadvantages of high performance precipitation liquid chromatography have been demonstrated for polystyrene homopolymers. Depending on the mobile phase composition at the dissolution point of the polymeric sample and surface properties of the stationary phase, elution is governed either by a solution process or by adsorption. A contribution by adsorption was noticed on silica as well as on reversed phases based on silica with a normal phase gradient of increasing polarity (heptane to dichloromethane). Elution was solely governed by solubility of the polymers on both types of stationary phase for polystyrenes with a molecular weight above 35 000 and reversed phase gradient of decreasing polarity (methanol to dichloromethane). Under these conditions an identical dependence of elution solvent composition on sample size was found as for turbidity titrations. Due to differences in the velocity of the eluent front and the polymeric sample with porous stationary phases the polymers can be eluted as colloidal solutions Non-porous stationary phases are superior in this respect because the velocities of eluent and solutes are identical.
