Abstract We describe a high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure for the simultaneous measurement of vitamins K1 and E in human serum. Delipidated human serum (free of vitamins K1 and E) was used to make standard solutions of these vitamins, and cetyl naphthoate and alpha-tocopheryl acetate were the internal standards for vitamin K1 and vitamin E, respectively. A simple, novel separation method utilizing liquid-liquid partition chromatography was used as a preparative "clean-up" procedure. Cetyl naphthoate and vitamin K1 (after post-column reduction) were detected by fluorescence, alpha-tocopheryl acetate and vitamin E by ultraviolet absorption. Sensitivity (detection limit) of the assay was 30 pg for vitamin K1 and 5 ng for vitamin E per injection. The method is specific, precise, and more rapid than previously described procedures. Within- and between-assay CVs were 8.1% and 12.9%, respectively, for vitamin K1; 3.5% and 6.0%, respectively, for vitamin E. Analytical recoveries of vitamins K1 and E were 80% and 93%, respectively, from serum and from delipidated serum (standards). The average neonatal serum concentration of vitamin K1 was 83 ng/L, 2.5 mg/L for vitamin E; for normolipidemic adults, the values were 343 ng/L and 7.9 mg/L, respectively, and for hyperlipidemic adults, 541 ng/L and 11.1 mg/L, respectively.

Abstract The confirmation of 2,4- and 2,6-toluenediamine (TDA) in aqueous extracts from boil-in-bags and retortable pouches is described. The extracts were initially analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatographic procedure and any apparent 2,4- and/or 2,6-TDA were quantitated. The liquid chromatographic effluent corresponding to any apparent 2,4- or 2,6-TDA was collected. TDA was then partitioned into ethyl acetate and reacted with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA). The TDA-TFAA derivative formed was confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) using a 1.2 m × 0.32 cm nickel column packed with 6% OV-17 on Superpak-20M. Results obtained from analyzing extracts of several retortable pouches and boil-in-bags showed levels of TDA migration ranging from <0.1 to 2.2 ppb (μg/L). Additional confirmation of the TDA-TFAA derivative from retortable pouches by multiple ion detection GC/mass spectrometry is also described.

Abstract Ascorbic acid was measured in 125 plasma samples by an automated colorimetric method involving dichlorophenolindophenol and by a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic procedure with electrochemical detection. The two methods gave comparable results for samples with ascorbate concentrations of 1 to 20 mg/L (r = 0.97). We also measured the amount of total ascorbate (ascorbic acid + dehydroascorbic acid) in the same samples by a liquid-chromatographic procedure with precolumn derivitization of ascorbic acid. We confirmed that plasma contains little dehydroascorbic acid.
