The morphometric parameters of fruits (yield, weight) were revealed and the quantitative determination of anthocyanins and carotenoids in the fruits of golden currant (Ribes aureum Pursh) was carried out using the methods of spectrophotometry and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The cultivar specificity in the content of anthocyanins and carotene in R. aureum fruits was established. There is a direct correlation between the anthocyanin and carotene content, which allows assessing the biological activity more accurately. No correlation was found between the morphometric and biochemical characteristics of R. aureum fruits.

Abstract The aim of the study was to develop a rapid, efficient, and cheap chromatographic method for determining four selected antihypertensive active flavonoid compounds in medicinal plants in Botswana. The determination of rutin, quercetin, and kaempferol in selected medicinal plants was conducted in less than 6 min using the developed reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with a 2.7 µm Ascentis C18 express column (150 × 4.60 mm i.d) at 340, 360, and 368 nm detection wavelengths and mobile phase of methanol and 0.068% of formic acid solution in isocratic elution. Validation results showed good selectivity, linearity (r 2 > 0.99), high percentage recoveries (90.2–104.7%), and precision (% RSD < 2) for n = 3, confirming suitability of the method for determination of the investigated flavonoids in Zingiber officinale (ginger). Application of the developed RP-HPLC method was performed in selected medicinal plants (Lippia javanica ) (mosukujane), Myrothanmus flabellious (galalatshwene), and Elephantorrhiza elephantina (mositsana) used to manage hypertension by herbalists in Botswana. M. flabellious a very commonly used plant for managing hypertension was found to contain highest amounts of rutin and myricetin, whereas nothing was detected for E. elephantina.

Abstract A simple, rapid method has been developed for the separation and determination of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in barley malt. An ultrasonic- cyclohexane extraction method was used to separate the PAHs from ground barley malt. The cyclohexane extracts were purified by chromatography through a water-deactivated silica gel-alumina column. The eluate from the column was concentrated and purified further by partitioning between dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and cyclohexane. The DMSO extract was diluted with water and the PAHs were extracted back into cyclohexane. The cyclohexane extract was washed with water, dried through sodium sulfate, and evaporated, and the resulting residue was dissolved in 80% aqueous acetonitrile-methanol (1 + 1) and subjected to reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. Thirty barley malt samples were analyzed using this procedure. Peaks having the same retention time as the carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene were isolated from 18 of the samples, and were equivalent to trace levels ranging from &lt;0.1 to 0.2 ppb. Average recoveries of 11 PAHs, including benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, indeno(l,2,3-cd)pyrene, and benz(a)anthracene, added to 25 g samples at 2.5 and 5 ppb, ranged from 78 to 97%, with a mean relative standard deviation of 6.6%.
