摘要
A high performance liquid chromatographic assay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of five water soluble vitamins:thimine, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine and folic acid in cereal products and fresh vegetables. Food samples were hydrolyzed in 0.4 mol/L HCl, autoclaved at 120℃ 15 psi for 20 minutes, using a μ-Bondapak column (3.9×300mm, Waters Co.), a mobile phase of methanol-water (30:70) (0.005 mol/L heptanesulfonic acid) and a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min gave the most satisfactory separation of the five water soluble vitamins. A double channel deteetion was used: four vitamins (B_5, folic acid, B_2, B_1) were detected hy UV spectrophotometry (254 nm) first, pyridoxine (B_6) was detected by fluoromelry (EX 290nm, EM 395 nm) afterwards. Detection limits were 2, 5, 5, 2and 5ng, linear ranges were 5-10ng, 5-50ng, 5-40ng, 5-50ng and 10-50ng for B_1, B_2, B_5, B_6 and folic acid respectively. Recoveries were 92-100%(B_5), 51-52% (folio acid), 103—105% (B_2), 99—100% (B_6) and 91.3—102% (B_1) respectively. In comparison with a reference method and checking with food composition tables, very satisfactory results were obtained by this method.
