逐级提取-高效液相色谱法快速测定植物组织中8种有机酸

针对植物组织中草酸存在的不同形态,建立了水和稀盐酸作为提取介质的逐级提取方法,获得了水溶态和酸溶态草酸及乙醇酸、乙醛酸、酒石酸、苹果酸、乙酸、柠檬酸、琥珀酸等有机酸。采用Hypersil ODS (200 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm)色谱柱,以5 mmol/L磷酸二氢钾水溶液(pH 2.8)作为流动相,在进样量5 μL、检测波长210 nm、柱温30 ℃的条件下,通过分时段控制流速实现了8种有机酸的快速分离,同时去除了盐酸对酸溶态草酸测定的干扰。本方法精确灵敏、回收率高、重复性好,可应用于实际样品的测定分析。

Rapid determination of eight organic acids in plant tissue by sequential extraction and high performance liquid chromatography

A sequential extraction method was developed to determine different forms of oxalate and seven oxalate-metabolism-related organic acids (glyoxylic acid, tartaric acid, glycolic acid, malic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, succinic acid) in plant tissue. The ultra-pure water was used as the extraction medium to obtain water-soluble oxalic acid and the other seven water-soluble organic acids. After the extraction of the water-soluble organic acids, the residues were extracted by dilute hydrochloric acid successively to get the acid-soluble oxalate which entered the liquid phase. A Hypersil ODS column was used with 5 mmol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution (pH 2.8) as the mobile phase. The diode array detector was set at 210 nm and the column temperature at 30 ℃ with the injection volume of 5 μL. The flow rate was controlled at different times which allowed a good and rapid separation of the organic acids and hydrochloric acid. Under these conditions, the linear ranges of the method were 1-2000 mg/L for oxalic acid, 25-2000 mg/L for acetic acid, and 10-2000 mg/L for glyoxylic acid, tartaric acid, glycolic acid, malic acid, citric acid and succinic acid, with the correlation coefficients of the eight organic acids ≥ 0.9996. The average recoveries of the eight organic acids in leaves and roots were 93.5%-104.4% and 85.3%-105.4% with RSDs of 0.15%-2.43% and 0.31%-2.9% (n=7), respectively. The limits of detection ranged from 1 to 10 ng (S/N=3). The results indicated that the method is accurate, rapid and reproducible for the determination of organic acids in plant samples.
