Pseudo Peak Phenomena in Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography by Using Ionic Surfactant

The origin of pseudo peak was studied by means of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with cetyltrimethylaminium bromide as the pseudo stationary phase. It has been pointed that two peaks may appear for one component under certain conditions. Experiments showed that the relative areas of the two peaks of analyte depended on the time and the temperature of reaction between analyte and surfactant, and the concentration of surfactant in the sample solution. It means that the interaction between the analyte and the surfactant is a slow process, and a stable substance can be produced from the interaction. It is the substance and the analyte that may lead to the formation of two peaks. The fast interaction mechanism between the solute and the micellar should be queried from the experiment result.

Study of Tea Digitized Chromatographic Fingerprint Spectra Using Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography

This paper described the principle of digitized chromatographic fingerprint spectrum and established digitized chromatographic fingerprint spectra of ten brands of Chinese famous tea by the micellar electrokinetic chromatography. This work was done using a 25 mmol·L -1 sodium dodecylsulfate in a 20 mmol·L -1 borate (pH 7 0) solution as running buffer, 20 kV applied potential and detection at 280 nm. The chromatographic fingerprint spectra were digitized by the relative retention value ( α ) and the relative area ( S r), and were analyzed to identify the tea samples. In the absence of the standard samples, the present method was easy setup and inexpensive, and provided the applicable information for the quality assessment of teas.

Effect of organic modifiers on the capacity factor in micellar electrokinetic chromatography

Organic modifiers were effective both to extend the migration time window and to improve the separation of very hydrophobic compounds in MEKC. An iteration method was used to determine the migration time of micelles. The quantitative relationship between the capacity factor k' and the concentration of organic modifiers was derived, which was investigated experimentally. The linear solvation energy relationships (LSER) methodology was applied to MEKC, and good linear relationships between lnk' and solvatochromic parameters of 15 solutes were obtained in the presence of organic modifier in different concentrations, which indicated a new access in MEKC to predict k' from the structural parameters of solutes. The effect of column temperature T on k' was also investigated.

Two-peak phenomena and formation origin in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

The formation origin of two peaks in micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography by using cetyltrimethylaminium bromide (or sodium dodecyl sulfate) as pseudo stationary phase is studied. It is pointed out that two peaks may appear for one component in certain conditions. Experiments show that the relative areas of the two peaks of the corresponding component depend on the time and temperature of reaction between the analyte and the surfactant, and the concentration of surfactant in the sample solution. One of the two peaks increase with the increase of surfactant concentration in the sample solution while reverse for another peak. Temperature can accelerate the reaction process. This means that the interaction between analyte and surfactant is a slow process, and a stable substance can be produced from the interaction and leads to the formation of two peaks. The standpoint is confirmed by the infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the product from the reaction between cetyltrimethylaminium bromide and m-hydroxyl benzoic acid.

A sensitive method for simultaneous determination of six phenolic whitening agents, including arbutin, phenol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, kojic acid, and salicylic acid in cosmetics has been developed using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with amperometric detection （MECC-AD）. Effects of several factors, such as the pH value and concentration of running buffer, potential applied to the working electrode, separation voltage, and injection time were investigated to obtain optimum conditions for separation and detection. With a 75 cm long fused-silica capillary tube, well-defined separation of six phenolic compounds was achieved in 10 mmol/L SDS/40 mmol/L H3BO3-Na2B407 running buffer （pH 9.0）. Good linear relationship was obtained for each analyte over three orders of magnitude with correlation coefficients （r2） between 0.9985 and 0.9994, and the detection limit （S/N = 3） ranged from 0.04 p^g/mL to 0.45 p^g/mL. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of phenolic whitening agents in real cosmetic samples with satisfactory results, providing an alternative monitoring method for cosmetics safety regulation.

Extraction of catechins and caffeine from different tealeaves and comparison with micellar electrokinetic chromatography

This work describes the simultaneous deter- mination of catechins and caffeine in green, black tealeaves and canned tea-drink using micellar electrokinetic chromatography. The catechins analyzed include (+)-catechin, (-)- epicatechin, (-)-epigallocatechin, (-)-epicatechin gallate and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate. Using UV absorption method at 280 nm, the limits of detections of catechins and caffeine are 10-6 mol/L, which is suitable for the real sample determination. Using this analytical method, the extraction of these compounds from the tealeaves with hot water is compared under different temperatures. The effects of temperature on the amount of catechins and caffeine extracted are evident, showing that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate is the most easiest to be extracted at 100℃. The stability of catechins and caffeine in stocking solution of tea-drink at 4℃ is also compared on five consecutive days. The contents of catechins and caffeine in green and black teas are discussed and the difference of the content between different tealeaves can provide a reference for the assessment of tea quality.

Quantification of Aromatic Amino Acids in Cordyceps fungi by Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography

A facile micellar electrokinetic chromatography(MEKC) method was developed for quantification of aromatic amino acids in Cordyceps fungi. The proposed MEKC method had linear calibration curves and detection limits at the μmol/L level. Contents of aromatic amino acids in Cordyceps were found in the range from 0.004 9 % to 0.028 0% for tryptophan(Trp), 0.036 6% to 0.078 1% for tyrosine(Tyr), and 0.029 1% to 0.136 2% for phenylalanine(Phe). Levels of amino acids in cultivated Cordyceps militaris were found higher than those in natural Cordyceps sinensis. Interestingly, the ratio of Tyr to its precursor, Phe, in C. sinensis(1.20 ± 0.091, n=3) was significantly higher than that in cultivated C. militaris(0.54 ± 0.170, n=3). This is likely because the enzyme-catalyzed in vivo biotransformation of Phe to Tyr is much more effective in natural C. sinensis, a biological hybrid of larva and parasitic fungus, than in cultivated C. militaris.

Enantiomeric Separation of Epinephrine and Salbutamol by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography Using β-Cyclodextrin as Chiral Additive

Enantiomeric separations of epinephrine and salbutamol, by means of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) employing β-cyclodextrin as chiral additive in ammonium chloride-ammonia solution were investigated. In this system, the analytes migrated with the micellar phase towards the anode and were detected by electrochem- istry using gold microelectrode at +0.65 V vs. SCE. The success of the chiral separations is strongly dependent on the concentration of β-CD and SDS, and the optimal concentration is 8 mmol?L-1 and 15 mmol?L-1 respectively. The effects of detection potential, pH value of electrolyte and applied voltage were discussed also. Using the pro- posed method, baseline separation of the enantiomers could be accomplished in 6 min. Further, an attempt was made to elucidate the plausible mechanism of the chiral recognition.
