Abstract
A method based on capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection has been developed for the separation and determination of mannitol, sucrose, glucose, and fructose in Ligustrum lucidum Ait. for the first time. Effects of several important factors such as the concentration of NaOH, separation voltage, injection time, and detection potential were investigated to acquire the optimum conditions. The detection electrode was a 300 μm diameter copper disc electrode at a working potential of +0.65 V (versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE)). The four analytes can be well separated within 13 min in a 40 cm length fused-silica capillary at a separation voltage of 12 kV in a 75 mM NaOH aqueous solution. The relation between peak current and analyte concentration was linear over about three orders of magnitude with detection limits ( S/ N = 3) ranging from 1 to 2 μM for all analytes. The proposed method has been successfully applied to monitor the mannitol and sugar contents in the plant samples at different growth stages with satisfactory assay results.
