Blueberries are rich in bioactive anthocyanins, which are associated with health benefits contributing to reducing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this study was to improve the yield of anthocyanins extracted from rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei) fruits cultivated in Nanjing using ultrasound-assisted extraction and to identify the individual anthocyanins present in the extract. The extraction conditions of blueberry anthocyanins were optimized using response surface methodology. The Box–Behnken test was designed to investigate the effect of extraction using different ethanol concentrations, extraction time, and liquid-to-solid ratios. The optimum conditions of the extraction derived from the model were as follows: extraction time 24 h at 30°C using 72.50% ethanol which contains 0.02% v/v hydrochloric acid as a solvent and liquid-to-solid ratio 20 : 1 v/w. The extraction yield was 16.21 ± 0.44 mg/g under these optimum conditions. The 13 peaks of the anthocyanin extract from rabbiteye blueberry fruits in Nanjing were tentatively identified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization interface-mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS), which are the derivatives of delphinidin, cyanidin, petunidin, peonidin, and malvidin that were glycosylated by glucose, galactose, or arabinose. This research provides a reliable scientific basis for efficacious extraction and identification of anthocyanins from blueberry fruits, which would be helpful for further investigation of the function and application of blueberry anthocyanins extract to human health.

The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography of some selected, industrially important aromatic sulfones has been investigated. The chromatographic behaviour of three groups of aromatic sulfones has been studied. The optimum conditions of separation and UV spectra of the sulfones and some of their hydroxy and benzyloxy derivatives are presented. The dependences of capacity factors vs methanol content in mobile phase are mentioned. The results obtained have been applied to the quantitative analysis of different technical-grade samples and isomer mixtures. For all the separation methods mentioned the concentration ranges of linear calibration curves have been determined.

Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have attracted worldwide attention due to their carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects, environmental persistence and bioaccumulation characteristics. Therefore, the sensitive, reliable and rapid detection of PAHs in sediment is of great importance. Objective To develop a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence and ultraviolet detection after QuEChERS treatment for simultaneous determination of 16 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency priority PAHs in sediment samples. Methods The samples were ultrasonically extracted with acetone and then the supernatant was purified with a modified QuEChERS method. After centrifugation, the supernatant was injected into the HPLC system for analysis. The separation was accomplished on a ZORBAX Eclipse PAH column (150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) and the column temperature was set at 30 °C. The flow rate of the mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile in gradient elution mode was fixed at 0.9 mL/min. Detection was conducted on an ultraviolet detector and a fluorescence detector simultaneously. The qualitative analysis was based on retention time and the quantification was based on standard curves. Results Under the optimal conditions, this method showed good linearities in the range of 10–200 μg/L with correlation coefficients greater than 0.9993. The method had the limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.00108 to 0.314 ng/g. The mean recoveries ranged from 78.4 to 117% with the intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.592–10.7 and 1.01–13.0%, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the detection of 16 PAHs in sediment samples collected from the Funan River in Chengdu, China with the total contents of 431 to 2143 ng/g·dw. Conclusions The established method is simple, rapid, environment-friendly and cost- effective. It can be applied to the analysis of 16 PAHs in sediment samples. Highlights A method of QuEChERS with ultrasound-assisted extraction combined with HPLC has been established for the analysis of 16 PAHs in sediment samples and the proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis PAHs in real sediment samples.

The gasoline combustion dusts was analyzed by accelerated solvent extraction-high performance liquid chromatography(ASE-HPLC) in this paper. The optimum extraction conditions were that extraction time was 30min, temperature was 120°C and the pressure was 100Mpa. It is a efficient extraction method for a laboratory to quickly extract gasoline combustion dust samples.

Background: Sodium benzoate and sodium cyclamate are foods additives generally used as preservative and artificial sweeteners, respectively. Monitoring of sodium benzoate and sodium cyclamate need appropriate analytical method. Objective: The main objective of this study was to gain the optimum conditions for simultaneous determination of sodium benzoate and sodium cyclamate in soft drink by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Methods: Measurement of the additives was performed in µ-Bondapak RP18 column using methanol:phosphate buffer of pH 4 (42:58) as mobile phase with flow rate of 1 mL/minute. Results: It has shown that correlation coefficients (r) of sodium benzoate and sodium cyclamate was 0.9997 and 0.9991 respectively. Recoveries of the two analyst were acceptable. Conclusions: Five out of nine samples tested contained sodium cyclamate higher than the recommended concentration. All sodium benzoate containing samples were within the recommended concentration.

The aim of this research is to extract carotenoids from apricot fruits using a food solvent (ethanol) and a non-food solvent (propanol). In addition, it aims to study the effect of different extraction conditions, i.e., the extraction temperature (20-40-60)°C and the extraction times (4-8-12) hours, on the carotenoids yield in order to improve and develop extraction methods. The extracted carotenoids were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the studied carotenoids are α-carotene and β-carotene. It was found that β-carotene constitutes about 80% of the total carotenoids in apricots. The results indicated that the extraction yield using ethanol was low compared to the extraction yield using propanol. Propanol is the most suitable solvent for carotenoids extraction in comparison with ethanol. The temperature also had a significant effect on the extraction yield; at 20°C the extraction yield was very low, and 60°C was the optimum temperature for the extraction of carotene. The extraction yield significantly increased with time in the first hours of extraction, and there was no significant effect from increasing the extraction time for a period of 6-8 hours. Moreover, the pretreatment of fruits by freezing accelerated the extraction process and increased the extraction yield. The optimum conditions for extracting carotenoids were determined in the conditions of food extraction; the optimum conditions for extracting carotenoids are: extraction at 60°C for three hours with pretreatment by freezing as the extraction rate reached up to 6.36 mg/100 g using ethanol as a food solvent.

A novel high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC-FL) method for determination of metoprolol enantiomers in a pharmaceutical formulation was developed and validated. This study investigated the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of metoprolol from commercial tablets using methanol as extraction solvent. The separation of enantiomers was successfully carried out with a CHIRALCEL OD-RH column, under isocratic elution mode using 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid and 0.05% diethylamine in water and acetonitrile (80:20, v/v).The chromatographic method was validated in terms of precision, accuracy, detection and quantification limits, linearity and recovery. Calibration curves were linear in the investigated range with correlation coefficient better than 0.9931 while the limit of quantifications was 0.19 µg mL-1 for S(–)-MET and 0.23 µg mL-1 for R(+)-MET. The mean recovery of S(–)-MET and R(+)-MET from tablets were found to be 78.8% and 92.1%, respectively.This method for the direct determination and quantification of metoprolol enantiomers in pharmaceutical formulations is suitable for routine analyses in quality control laboratories and was applied to evaluate for the first time, the presence and the quantities of cited analytes in commercially available formulation.
