Six phenolic compounds were separated and determined by capillary zone electrophoresis in red wine from Brazil’s region Vale do São Francisco with total analysis time of 12 min. The limit of detections varied from 1.59 to 2.24 mg L^?1. The relative standard deviations (for n = 6) varied from 0.28 to 3.50 %. The red wine samples analyzed were bought in the local market and the phenolic compound recoveries were in the range of 98–101 %. The concentrations of gallic acid in the samples of wines varied from 16.0 to 42.0 mg L^?1, caffeic acid (3.16–5.18 mg L^?1), syringic acid (5.73–13.0 mg L^?1), kaempferol (2.32–4.33 mg L^?1), quercetin (1.68–4.03 mg L^?1), myricetin (7.52–25.1 mg L^?1). The concentrations found agree with data reported in the literature.

Phenolic natural products of the wines obtained from three new Merlot clone candidates

This work aimed to evaluate the total contents of polyphenolics (the Ribereau-Gayon–Maurié procedure), anthocyanins (using pH differential method) and tannins (the Nègre procedure) as well as the content of phenolic acids (using UPLC/MS chromatography), respectively of the wines obtained from three new Merlot clone candidates in the perennial clonal selection. The aforementioned chemical parameters were determined in the samples covering the period 2009–2012. In comparison both with the standard Merlot wine (mother vine) and the wines obtained from other two clone candidates, the Merlot wine of the clone candidate No. 022 was found to have the highest total content of all three examined components 1.89 ± 0.05 g/L (polyphenolics), 185.59 ± 5.00 mg/L (anthocyanins) and 1.11 ± 0.03 g/L (tannins), as well as six phenolic acids including gallic acid (25.49 ± 0.27 mg/L). These findings are in good agreement with the observed trend for the viticultural parameters indicating the clone candidate No. 022 as more promising than mother.     

Simultaneous Determination of Phenolic Compounds in Red Wines by HPLC‐UV

Abstract

Ten samples of commercially Italian red wines were analyzed in order to determine the phenolic content. Variations in wine types are largely due to differences in concentration and composition of these compounds. Polyphenolic compounds are a large and complex group of substances which constitute one of the most important quality parameters of wine. These constituents of red wine contribute to organoleptic characteristics and to antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Moderate wine consumption is associated with several beneficial physiological effects, which include anticancer activities, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and inhibition of LDL oxidation which constitutes the initial stage of the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis.

For the analysis, reversed‐phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled with UV‐Vis detection was used. The method uses a gradient elution to identify nine biologically active phenolic constituents: catechin; epicatechin; trans‐ and cis‐resveratrol; gallic, chlorogenic and caffeic acid; rutin and quercetin in red wine samples. The samples are injected directly without any pretreatment. The method is simple, fast, not expensive and shows good linearity for all constituents, and the detection limits ranged from 0.3–1.6 µg/ml for trans‐resveratrol and gallic acid, respectively. Moreover, the samples were analyzed in different times for estimation of stability of these compounds.     

Determination of Organic Acids in Red Wine and Must on Only One RP-LC-Column Directly After Sample Dilution and Filtration

A new method for simultaneous determination of organic acids in red wine and must by liquid chromatography was studied. The determination of organic acids in wines can be achieved in less than 13 min, preceded only by a simple sample dilution and filtration step. With this method, the chromatographic separation of eight organic acids and interfering peaks present in red wine, required only one reversed phase column (Waters Atlantis dC18 column, 4.6 × 150 mm ID, 5 μm). As mobile phase, isocratic acetonitrile–0.01 mol L^?1 KH₂PO₄ at pH 2.7 5:95 (v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL min^?1 was used. Detection wavelength was set at 210 nm except for ascorbic acid which was detected at 243 nm. Application to red wine and must confirmed good repeatability and showed a wide variation range for concentrations of organic acids.     

Facile Preparation of an Ionic Liquid Composite Mesoporous Polymer as a Solid Phase Extraction Adsorbent for the Separation and Purification of Flavonoids from Chamaecyparis obtusa

A new ionic liquid composite mesoporous polymer (ILCMP) was synthesized by one-pot copolymerization. The obtained ILCMP with good morphology, good pore diameter distribution, and high adsorption capacity was successfully applied as the sorbent in solid-phase extraction (SPE) to extract and separate quercitrin and myricetin from Chamaecyparis obtusa. 87.8–101.8% of satisfactory recoveries were obtained with RSDs less than 6.2% and the amounts of quercitrin and myricetin in Chamaecyparis obtusa were 0.38 and 0.12 mg/g, respectively. The proposed ILCMP-SPE-HPLC method was applied for the separation, purification, and determination of flavonoids from natural products.     

Development and Validation of an SPE-LC Method for the Simultaneous Determination of trans-Resveratrol and Selected Flavonoids in Wine

A simple LC method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the flavonols rutin, myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol and the stilbene, trans-resveratrol, in wines. Sample clean-up was performed with polymeric Nexus ABS ELUT cartridges. The polyphenols were separated in less than 25 min using gradient elution and UV detection at 320 nm. Average recoveries of the analytes from spiked wine ranged from 82.2 to 117.6% and the detection limits, based on spiked extracted synthetic wine, ranged from 0.02 to 0.2 mgL^?1. The method was applied to the analysis of Greek wines.     

A UFLC–MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of eight bioactive constituents from red wine and dealcoholized red wine in rat plasma: Application to a comparative pharmacokinetic study

To explore whether alcohol has an effect on the pharmacokinetic behavior of phenolic acids, the main bioactive constituents in red wine, a highly sensitive and simple ultra‐fast liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UFLC–MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous quantitation of eight phenolic acids in plasma samples. Plasma samples were extracted by liquid–liquid extraction and the chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax SB‐C₁₈ column within 7.0 min. Results of the validated method revealed that all of the calibration curves displayed good linear regression (r > 0.99). The intra‐ and inter‐day precisions of the analytes were <14.0% and accuracies ranged from ?8.5 to 7.3%. The extraction recoveries of the analytes were from 71.2 to 110.2% and the matrix effects ranged from 86.2 to 105.5%. The stability of these compounds under various conditions satisfied the requirements of biological sample measurement. The method was successfully applied to a comparative pharmacokinetic study of phenolic acids in rat plasma. For gallic acid and gentisic acid, the parameters AUC_0–t and AUC_0–∞ increased remarkably (p < 0.05) after oral administration of red wine, which suggested that alcohol might enhance their absorption. This is the first report to compare the pharmacokinetic behavior of phenolic acids in red wine and dealcoholized red wine.     

Analysis of non-anthocyanin phenolic compounds in wine samples using high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet and fluorescence detection

A simple and rapid HPLC method with UV and fluorescence detection (FLD) for the separation of ten phenolic compounds including gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, caffeic acid, coumaric, trans-piceid, cis-piceid, trans-resveratrol, cis-resveratrol and quercetin is reported. The UV and fluorescence detector in series provided a high selectivity for the determination of these compounds. Precisions, recoveries and LODs achieved for all the analytes were satisfactory. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these compounds in commercially available red wines.     

Determination of Triazine Herbicides and Metabolites by Solid Phase Extraction with HPLC Analysis

An efficient solid phase extractive preconcentration/separation method was developed for the trace determination of herbicides in aqueous samples using Amberlite XAD-4 resin as the adsorbent. The retained herbicides were eluted with methanol at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1 and determined by HPLC-DAD (wavelength of 220 nm) using water (pH:4.7, phosphoric acid) and methanol (ratio 35:65) as the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1. Quantitative recoveries of simazine, atrazine and its metabolities were achieved at optimized analysis conditions that included 0.75 g of resin; a pH of 3.0; an eluent volume of 3.0 mL; an eluent flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1; and a sample flow rate of 4.0 mL min^?1. The limits of detection, preconcentration factor, and linear ranges for the herbicides were 0.084–0.121 µgL^?1, 1000, and 0.5–20 mg L^?1, respectively. The performance of the method was evaluated by analysis of spiked water samples. The recoveries of simazine, atrazine and their metabolities were found to be quantitative (99.6–104.8%) with RSDs of 2.2–4.8% and 2.8–4.7% for intra-day and inter-day precision, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for trace determination of studied analytes in waste water, apple juice, and red wine samples.     

Using capillary electrophoresis for the determination of organic acids in Port wine

The simultaneous separation and determination of organic acids in several samples of white and red Port wines was performed by capillary zone electrophoresis using indirect UV detection with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid as a background electrolyte buffer. Operational parameters like migration time, temperature, voltage and capillary length were optimized. Sixteen samples of red wine and four samples of white wine were used to analyze for tartaric, malic, lactic, succinic and acetic acids using glyoxylic acid as the internal standard. The method is rapid, sensitive and quantitative, and time-consuming sample preparation, such as solid-phase extraction or liquid-liquid extraction procedure, is not required.     

Determination of astaxanthin in feeds using high performance liquid chromatography and an efficient extraction method

A high performance liquid chromatography method using an efficient extraction method was developed for the determination of astaxanthin in eight kinds of animal feed. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a C₁₈ reversed-phase column, using methanol and acetonitrile as the mobile phases with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The feeds containing astaxanthin were first treated with maxatase, to cause enzymatic hydrolysis, and then extracted with dichloromethane. The optimized method produced recoveries of between 82.4% and 100% for all eight kinds of feed, and the coefficients of variation were lower than 4.28%. The limit of detection, defined as the concentration that gave a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, for astaxanthin was estimated to be 0.1 µg/g. The limit of quantification, defined as the lowest spiked concentration that gave an appropriate level of precision and accuracy, was 0.3 µg/g. Finally, the method developed was used to determine astaxanthin in real, commercially sourced, feed samples. The method met the requirements for the determination of astaxanthin in feed, providing satisfactory recoveries of 70–110%.     

The natural product content of the selected Cabernet Franc wine samples originating from Serbia: a case study of phenolics

This work aimed to evaluate the content of selected phenolic natural products in the wine samples made of three new Serbian Cabernet Franc clones (Nos. 02, 010 and 012, respectively) and mother vine (used as the relevant standard) during the period 2008–2012. Compared with all other wine samples, the Cabernet Franc wine of the clone No. 010 was found to have the highest total content of polyphenolics (1.85 ± 0.02 g/L) and anthocyanins (178.55 ± 3.75 mg/L). In addition, its Folin–Ciocalteu index (36.86 ± 0.12) stood out among the examined samples. Finally, the same wine was enriched with ellagic and gallic acids (3.44 ± 0.29 and 27.46 ± 0.21 mg/L, respectively), catechin (135.16 ± 6.47 mg/L) and epicatechin (51.33 ± 2.33 mg/L), the natural products known to exert significant lipid-lowering effects. Taken all together, the clone No. 010 developed in Serbia may offer new Cabernet Franc wine with geographical indication.     

Optimization of Capillary Isotachophoretic Method for Histidine Determination in Protein Matrices

The capillary isotachophoretic method was optimized and used for histidine determination in food samples. The optimum conditions for histidine separation and determination were found on the experimental conditions such as: selectivity, separation speed, pH, concentration of the leading and terminating electrolytes, and electroosmotic flow additives. The optimum electrolytes composition [leading electrolyte: 7 mM NH₄OH + 15 mM 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid + 1% hydroxyethylcellulose; pH = 6.10 and terminating electrolyte: 15 mM aminocaproic acid +5 mM acetic acid +40% methanol; pH = 5.10] and conditions of analysis were adopted for histidine determination in food samples (meat and fish products). The proposed electrolyte system was characterized by linearity (10–100 and 100–430 mg · L^?1 with R² = 0.9976 and 0.9991), accuracy (99.5% and 98%), intra-assay of the relative step height (1.40% for standard and 3.20% for food samples analysis), inter-assay of the relative step height (3.65% and 6.30%) and satisfactory quantification and detection limits. The obtained results were compared to a chromatographic method (reversed-phase (RP)-HPLC) for determination of histidine. The average concentrations of histidine in the samples assayed by both methods were statistically comparable. It should be noted that the proposed histidine determination method can be considered as a contribution to Green Analytical Chemistry.     

Simultaneous determination of active ingredients in blueberry wine by CE-AD

A method based on capillary electrophoresis coupled with amperometric detection（CE-AD） has been developed for the separation and determination of kaempferol,ferulic acid,vanillic acid,caffeic acid,gallic acid and protocatechuic acid in blueberry wine for the first time.In order to get the optimum conditions of separation,the effects of working electrode potential,pH value and concentration of running buffer,separation voltage and injection time on CE-AD were investigated.Under the optimum conditions, the analytes could be separated in Na₂B₄O₇-KH₂PO₄ buffer at pH 7.8 within 18 min.A 300μm diameter carbon disk electrode had good current responses at +0.95 V（vs.SCE） for all analytes.The responses were linear with concentrations over three orders of magnitude with detection limits（S/N = 3） at 10^-8 g/mL magnitude for the analytes and the recoveries were in the range of 95.8- 106.7%.The method could be successfully applied to the analysis of real sample with satisfactory results and therefore recommended for use by the quality control departments of fruit wine producers.     

Influence of Fermentation Method on Phenolics,Antioxidant Capacity,and Volatiles in Blackberry Wines

The influence of the type of fermentation method on phenolics, antioxidant capacity, and volatiles in blackberry wine was studied. Dry blackberry wines made by traditional fermentation (TF) and carbonic maceration fermentation (CMF) were analyzed for total polyphenols, flavanols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidin, and antioxidant capacity. High-performance liquid chromatography was used for analysis of nonflavonoid phenolics (gallic, benzoic, salicylic, syringic, caffeic, coumaric, and ferulic) and flavonoids (catechin, quercetin, and rutin). Volatiles were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that CMF fermentation afforded higher antioxidant activity and phenolic content, especially individual polyphenolics. The total level of phenolics in the CMF wine was substantially higher than in traditional wines: 2953 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/L for CMF wine vs. 1647 mg of GAE/L for traditional wine. A total of 53 kinds of volatile compounds were detected. Of these, 35 were detected in traditionally brewed wine and 46 in CMF fermented wine. Thus, CMF wine had a more complement volatile profile. The dominance of fruity and floral odor components derived from ethyl esters of fatty acids resulted in the indistinguishable aroma of TF and CMF wines. But, CMF wine had a more complicated aroma. The present results could complement existing theory on the processing of blackberry wines.     

Simultaneous LC Determination of Major Constituents in Red and White Peony Root

A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography method was established for the simultaneous determination of eight major constituents, namely gallic acid, paeoniflorin sulfonate, catechin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, benzoic acid, pentagalloylglucose and benzoylpaeoniflorin in red and white peony roots, the two commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. The optimal conditions of separation and detection were achieved on a C₁₈ analytical column with a gradient mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.015% phosphoric acid at the flow rate of 1.0 mL min^?1 and detection wavelength set at 230 nm. All calibration curves showed good linear regression (r>0.9995) within test ranges. This method provided good reproducibility with overall intra-and inter-day precision of less than 5% and 4% and good accuracy with recovery of more than 93%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to determine 71 samples of red and white peony roots collected from different areas. The results indicated that the contents of eight compounds varied significantly among the samples determined, which mainly resulted from processing procedure and habitat variation. The roots of Paeonia veitchii Lynch. contained a much higher amount of gallic acid and pentagalloylglucose than that of Paeonia lactiflora Pall., which could be used to distinguish the two similar species.     

Determination of Fatty Acids (C1 – C10) from Bryophytes and Pteridophytes

A simple and mild method for the determination of fatty acids (C₁ – C₁₀) based on a condensation reaction using 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDSA) as labeling reagent with capillary zone electrophoresis has been developed. The detection was performed with a diode array detector at 254 nm. A 58.5 cm × 50 μm i.d. (50 cm effective length) untreated fused-silica capillary was used. To optimize the separation conditions, the background electrolyte concentration, column temperature, voltage and other factors were evaluated. The optimal separation conditions were as follows: 30 mmol L⁻¹ borate buffer (pH 9.5), 15 mmol L⁻¹ β-CD, temperature at 20 °C, pressure 50 mbar and injection time 8 s. Under the established conditions, 10 fatty acid derivatives could be well-separated within 17 min. The linearity was in the range of 0.07–5.0 μmol L⁻¹. Detection limits (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3) were in the range of 0.027–0.042 μmol L⁻¹. The fatty acids from the extracted Funaria Hedw. and Selaginella samples were determined with satisfactory results.

     

Magnetic Stirring-Assisted Dispersive Suspended Microextraction with Solidification of a Floating Organic Droplet for the Determination of Trace Fungicides in Water and Wine

For the first time, a simple method for magnetic stirring-assisted dispersive suspended microextraction has been developed for the determination of three fungicides (azoxystrobin, diethofencarb, and pyrimethanil) in water and wine samples. The method is based on the solidification of a floating organic droplet coupled with high performance liquid chromatography. In the proposed method, the low toxicity solvent 1-dodecanol was used as the extractant. Both the extraction and phase separation process were performed with magnetic stirring. No centrifugation step was involved. After separating the two phases, the extraction solvent droplet was easily collected through solidification at lower temperature. Important parameters such as the kind and volume of organic extraction solvent, extraction and restoration speed, extraction and restoration time, and salt concentration were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the limits of detection for the analytes varied from 0.14 to 0.26 µg L^?1. The enrichment factors ranged from 125–200. The linearity ranges were 1–2000 µg L^?1, yielding correlation coefficients (r) higher than 0.9990. The relative standard deviation (n = 6) at two spiked level of 0.2 µg mL^?1 and 4 µg L^?1 varied between 2.2% and 7.8%. Finally, the developed technique was successfully applied to determine target fungicides in real water and wine samples, where the obtained recoveries ranged from 83.8–105.3%     

Investigation of phenolic antioxidants as chemical markers in extracts of Connarus perrottetii var. Angustifolius Radlk by capillary zone electrophoresis

Plant roots, leaves, barks, seeds berries, or flowers can be used to promote health and treat diseases and also have compounds that provide information about the best quality of raw materials. A medicinal plant native to the Amazonia region (Brazil) was investigated in this work. For this purpose, a new analytical approach was developed by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with UV detection for the separation of 14 phenolic compounds extracted from the plant extracts. The method enabled simultaneous determination of 3-acetylcoumarin, resveratrol, 6-hydroxycoumarin, catechin, rutin, ferulic acid, quercitrin, kaempferol, fisetin, myricetin, quercetin, caffeic acid, gallic acid, and 4-hydroxycinnamic acid using borate buffer (20 mM, pH 9.2) containing 15% methanol (v/v) as working electrolyte, separation potential of ?20 kV, separation temperature of 25°C and hydrodynamic injection by gravity (20 cm for 60 s). The developed method was validated, obtaining repeatability and inter-day precision values lower than 7% and 6%, respectively. Recovery was performed and ranged from 84% to 118%. The method permitted the quantification of catechin and rutin in Connarus perrottetii var. angustifolius aqueous infusions, ethanolic extracts, and butanolic extracts (both obtained after maceration). The radical scavenging activity of the extracts toward free radicals is also described.
