Abstract
A sulphurous acid thiolysis-HPLC method for the determination of procyanidins in pine bark products was established. The concentration of sulphurous acid is 1.2%, the concentration of benzyl mercaptan is 2%, the reaction temperature is 90 °C, and the reaction time is 60 minutes. Under these conditions, the preservative rates of catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate and their benzyl sulfide derivatives were 89.7%, 86.2%, 95.4%, 63.1%, 64.6% and 73.5%, respectively. According to this study, the calculation method for the procyanidin content determination by the thiolysis-HPLC method was corrected.
