Abstract
A simple and fast ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) method was developed for the identification and quantification of the following flavonoids in red wine: (+/-)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, rutin, quercitrin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, (+/-)-naringenin, hesperetin, and chrysin. Chromatographic separation of the flavonoids was performed on a Chromolith Fast Gradient C18e column. A gradient elution was used with mobile phases consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile. UV detection was performed at 280 nm. A complete separation of flavonoids was possible within 6 min. The calibration curves showed good linearity (R2 > or = 0.9990) in the selected range of each analyte; the LOD ranged between 0.06 and 0.19 microg/mL. An optimized sample preparation method utilized SPE. The Oasis HLB column with the highest recoveries was selected for the preconcentration step. This method was successfully applied to the determination of these flavonoids in the red wine samples with excellent results.
