Abstract:A capillary electrophoretic method was developed to analyze simultaneously most citrus juice components in a single procedure. After filtration, sample components are separated with an uncoated capillary tubing and a 35 mM sodium borate buffer (pH 9.3) containing 5% (v/v) acetonitrile. Analyses were run at 21 kV and 23 degrees C. Compounds monitored regularly were the biogenic amine synephrine, some flavonoids (didymin, hesperidin, narirutin, neohesperidin, and naringin), the polyphenol phlorin, 3 UV-absorbing amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine), ascorbic acid, an unidentified peak generated by heat and storage, and the preservatives sorbate and benzoate that can be added to citrus products. Separation can be achieved in 20 min, and each compound can be subsequently quantitated. Didymin, narirutin, and phlorin peaks were used with an artificial neural network to assess the volume of added pulp wash, a by-product of juice preparation. This method allows rapid monitoring of citrus juices, giving information on quality, freshness, and possible adulteration of the product. Similar procedures could be used to monitor other fruit juices and quantitate diverse juice blends.
