反相高效液相色谱法测定烤烟叶片发育过程中的类胡萝卜素类物质

建立了采用反相高效液相色谱测定烤烟叶片中类胡萝卜素的方法。烤烟叶片先用含0.1%丁基羟基甲苯（BHT）的90%丙酮水溶液萃取,然后加入0.1 g醋酸铅,于4 ℃下以10000 r/min离心5 min以去除蛋白质。色谱柱为 C18反相柱(3.9 mm i.d.×150 mm, 5 μm)。流动相:A，甲醇-异丙醇(体积比为1∶1）；B，超纯水。洗脱程序:0~10 min，70%A+30%B；10~17 min，100%A；17~30 min(90%A+10%B)。流速：0.5 mL/min。进样量:10 μL。检测波长:450 nm。该方法简化了样品的前处理过程,4种类胡萝卜素物质的加标回收率为91.77%~97.42%,相对标准偏差为 3.46%~0.98%。用该方法研究了烤烟发育过程中类胡萝卜素含量的变化规律,获得了与文献较为一致的结果。

Determination of Carotenoids in Flue-Cured Tobacco Leaves During its Growth by Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the determination of carotenoids in flue-cured tobacco leaves was developed. Carotenoids were extracted from flue-cured tobacco leaves by acetone-water (90:10, v/v) solution containing 0.1% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Plant proteins were eliminated by adding 0.1 g Pb(Ac)2 and by centrifugation (10000 r/min) for 5 min at 4 degrees C. Lutein, beta-carotene, neoxanthin, violaxanthin and other plant pigments were separated on a reversed-phase C18 column (3.9 mm i.d. x 150 mm, 5 microm), with a mobile phase of (A) methanol-isopropyl alcohol (1:1, v/v) and (B) water using a gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The optimum elution gradient was as follows: 0-10 min, 70% A + 30% B; 10-17 min, 100% A; 17-30 min, 90% A + 10% B. The recoveries of carotenoids in flue-cured tobacco leaves were 91.77%-97.42%, and relative standard deviations were 3. 46%-0.98%. This method was applied to determine carotenoids in flue-cured tobacco leaves during its growth with satisfactory results.
