Determination of the Contents of Seven Chemical Components in Vidal Grape by Quantitative Analysis of Multi-components by Single Marker(QAMS)

[Objectives]This study was conducted to establish a method of quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker(QAMS)for the simultaneous determination of such seven chemical components as gallic acid,epicatechin,catechin,ferulic acid,chlorogenic acid,rutin and caffeic acid in Vidal grape.[Methods]The high performance liquid chromatography was carried out using a COSMOSIL C18-MS-II column(4.6 mm×250 mm,5μm)with the mobile phase acetonitrile-2%acetic acid aqueous solution(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min.The detection wavelength was 280 nm,and the column temperature was 25℃.Using caffeic acid as an internal reference,the relative correction factors between it and other six to-be-detected components,and the contents of the seven components were calculated using the correction factors.The established was compared the results with the external standard method to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the method.[Results]The seven components had a good linear relationship in the ranges of 1.060-10.60,1.419-14.19,1.062-10.62,0.2950-2.950,0.1019-1.019,0.2014-2.014,and 0.1498-1.498μg,respectively,and the relative correction factors of gallic acid,epicatechin,catechin,ferulic acid,chlorogenic acid and rutin were 0.9760,0.7806,0.3277,1.640,1.161,2.778,respectively.There was no significant difference between the results of the QAMS method and the external standard method.[Conclusions]The QAMS method using caffeic acid as an internal reference is accurate and feasible,and provides a reliable method for the quality evaluation of Vidal ice grape.
