This study aimed to investigate the composition of three major stilbenes (mulberroside A, oxyresveratrol, and resveratrol) in different portions of mulberries collected in different seasons and their change molds during growth by high-performance liquid chromatography. Mulberroside A levels were the highest in the bark and roots ofMorus atropurpureaRoxb,Morus albaLinn, andMorus latifoliaPoir. Oxyresveratrol levels were the highest in roots and stem. Both of these high levels were in September. The amount of resveratrol was very low in all samples. In the stem,Morus latifoliaPoir contained more mulberroside A than the other two mulberries. Mulberroside A was not detected in the leaves of the three mulberries. InMorus atropurpureaRoxb seedlings, the root tended to contain more of the three stilbenes than leaves. The temporal peaks of resveratrol were always ahead of those for oxyresveratrol. The levels of the stilbenes varied in different portions of the varieties of mulberries collected in different season and in the seedlings ofMorus atropurpureaRoxb.

This study was aimed to know the efficiency of partially purified L- asparaginase produced from local isolate from Erwinia spp. to reduce the percentage of acrylamide formed in Biscuit. Four types of biscuit from wheat flour were prepared (T1, T2, T3, T4),and T1 as control. High performance liquid chromatography technique was used to estimate acrylamide ratio in biscuit , Effect of enzyme addition  on flour chemical and rheological properties was studied, also dough behavior ,gluten percentage, water absorption and amylase enzyme activity was estimated. The results revealed  that  the  addition of  experimental asparaginase ( specific activity 20.5 unite mg-1 ) with 1% of flour weight lead to reduce in acrylamide formation in Biscuit  to 89 %  compared  to  control sample ( in absence of enzyme ) . Moreover, the addition of Asparagine to flour at 0.1 % of its weight, where L- asparaginase was available caused a negative effect on enzyme efficiency in reducing the acrylamide in biscuit. So the level of acrylamide was reduced to 57.7 %. In the other hand , the percentage of acryl amide in biscuit was increased to   233 % when the asparagine was added to mixture in absence of L- asparaginase .Addition of  the enzyme to flour have no effect on the percentage value of gluten but improved the  stability of dough .The  enzyme  addition also led to increase amylases activities.  Addition of experimental enzyme had no effect on quality and sensory evaluation of biscuit.

HPLC analysis of the true huckleberry species Gaylussacia baccata, G. dumosa, G. frondosa, G. mosieri, and G. ursina identified the 3-monoarabinosides, 3-monogalactosides, and 3-monoglucosides of cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, and petunidin. Gaylussacia brachycera contained all anthocyanins, except peonidin-3-arabinoside. Gaylussacia brachycera differed from other species in percent delphinidin-3-arabinoside. It was higher than the other species in percent of the aglycone delphinidin and lower in cyanidin, and also higher in percent of the sugar arabinose. There were no detectable differences among the other species for anthocyanins, aglycones, or aglycone-sugars. The phylogenetic implications of the similarities among species of Gaylussacia and Vaccinium in anthocyanins, aglycones, and aglycone-sugars of the fruit were discussed.Key words: High-performance liquid chromatography, huckleberries, blueberries, chemotaxonomy, taxonomy, biosystematics

Abstract6-Tuliposides A (6-PosA) and B (6-PosB) are major defensive secondary metabolites in tulip cultivars (Tulipa gesneriana), having an acyl group at the C-6 position of d-glucose. Although some wild tulip species produce 1,6-diacyl-glucose type of Pos (PosD and PosF), as well as 6-PosA/B, they have not yet been isolated from tulip cultivars. Here, aiming at verifying the presence of PosD and PosF in tulip cultivars, tissue extracts of 25 cultivars were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Although no HPLC peaks for PosD nor PosF were detected in most cultivars, we found two cultivars giving a minute HPLC peak for PosD and the other two cultivars giving that for PosF. PosD and PosF were then purified from petals of cultivar ‘Orca’ and from pistils of cultivar ‘Murasakizuisho’, respectively, and their identities were verified by spectroscopic analyses. This is the first report that substantiates the presence of 1,6-diacyl-glucose type of Pos in tulip cultivars.

It is thought that the therapeutic efficacy of Morus alba L. is determined by its biological compounds. We investigated the chemical differences in the medicinal parts of M. alba by analyzing a total of 57 samples (15 root barks, 11 twigs, 12 fruits, and 19 leaves). Twelve marker compounds, including seven flavonoids, two stilbenoids, two phenolic acids, and a coumarin, were quantitatively analyzed using a high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector and chemometric analyses (principal component and heatmap analysis). The results demonstrated that the levels and compositions of the marker compounds varied in each medicinal part. The leaves contained higher levels of six compounds, the root barks contained higher levels of four compounds, and the twigs contained higher levels of two compounds. The results of chemometric analysis showed clustering of the samples according to the medicinal part, with the marker compounds strongly associated with each part: mulberroside A, taxifolin, kuwanon G, and morusin for the root barks; 4-hydroxycinnamic acid and oxyresveratrol for the twigs and skimmin; chlorogenic acid, rutin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, and quercitrin for the leaves. Our approach plays a fundamental role in the quality evaluation and further understanding of biological actions of herbal medicines derived from various medicinal plant parts.

ABSTRACT In the paper, the identification and quantification of α- and β-amyrin in five varieties of Humulus lupulus is described. The plant samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed using of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with PAD detection. The separation was achieved on RP 18 column, at 2 mL/min flow rate and at temperature of 35°C. Acetonitrile was used as a mobile phase. The established calibration curves and the other validation parameters: linearity (correlation coefficient r > 0.9988) and precision (RSD values ranged from 0.14 to 1.81%) were found to be satisfactory for the proposed method. The content of α- and β-amyrin strongly depended on varieties of H. lupulus and amounted from 72.7 to 232.5 μg/g and from 77.9 to 176.9 μg/g of dry plant material, respectively.

The root bark of Morus alba L. (Family: Moraceae) is an important medicinal herb in many countries and has long been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of cough, fever, blood pressure reduction, and respiratory diseases. In the present study, the simultaneous determination of two flavonoids, kuwanon G and morusin, for quality control of M alba was conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with photodiode array (PDA) detector. The column used for separation of kuwanon G and morusin was a Gemini C18 analytical column maintained at 45°C. The mobile phase for efficient separation of two analytes was flowed 0.1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid-acetonitrile with gradient elution. The detection wavelength for quantification was set at 266 nm. The optimized method showed good linearity with coefficients of determination of 0.9998 within the tested concentration ranges. The limits of detection for the two flavonoids, kuwanon G and morusin, were 0.69 μg/mL and 0.35 μg/mL and the limits of quantification of kuwanon G and morusin, were 2.10 μ/mL and 1.07 μg/mL. The recoveries were 98.40–111.55% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) value was within 3.50%. The RSD values of intra- a g d interday precisions were 0.08–0.70% and 0.06-0.48%, respectively. The amounts of kuwanon G and morusin were 1.94-2.26 mg/g and 1.05–1.12 mg/g. The established HPLC-PDA method will help to improve the quality control of M. alba and related products.

High performance liquid chromatography was used in order to detect cheese whey in samples of raw milk preserved with Bronopol®. Six samples were collected and divided in 45 aliquots of 40mL. From these, 15 were used as control and stored frozen, 15 were added with Bronopol® and stored at 7ºC, and the other 15 were added with Bronopol® and stored at 30ºC. In all groups, five levels of cheese whey addition (0, 2, 5, 10, and 20%) were tested. The samples were submitted to high performance liquid chromatography on the 2nd, 4th, and 8th days of storage. A completely random design was used, following the factorial scheme (5x3x3) and the results were compared through the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. There was no difference among the treatments (P>0.05), which allows the conclusion that raw milk preserved with Bronopol® may be used for the determination of cheese whey addition in milk through high performance liquid chromatography.

Ovarian extracts of Long-Evans rats separated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were measured by radioimmunoassays (RIAs) for the presence of oxytocin and arginine vasopressin (AVP). The results showed that the ovary contains both, and that they are indistinguishable from the respective standard synthetic peptides. During the estrous cycle, the ovarian content of oxytocin was 10-fold higher (p<0.01) in estrus than in the other phases, while AVP was 16- and 25-fold higher (p<0.01) in metestrus than in the other phases. In contrast, the plasma levels of oxytocin showed no significant difference among the various phases of the estrous cycle. However, the plasma level of AVP level was significantly higher (p<0.01) in diestrus than in other phases. The present study thus strongly supports the hypothesis that both oxytocin and AVP can be produced by the ovary itself in the rat. The possible roles of oxytocin and AVP in the reproductive cycle are discussed.
