Abstract
An HPLC method was developed for the determination of citric, lactic, malic, oxalic and tartaric acids by chemiluminescent detection following online irradiation with visible light. The organic acids were irradiated with visible light in the presence of Fe 3+ and UO 2 2+ to generate Fe 2+, which was determined by measuring the chemiluminescence intensity in a luminol system in the absence of added oxidant. Factors affecting the photochemical and chemiluminescence reactions were optimised so that their contribution to the total band-broadening was negligible. The chromatographic separation was performed on a C 18 column under isocratic reversed-phase conditions using 0.005 M H 2SO 4 mobile phase. The optimised method was validated with respect to linearity, precision, limits of detection and quantification, accuracy specificity and robustness. The applicability of the assay was demonstrated by analysing these compounds in real samples such as milk, fruit juices, soft drinks, wine and beer.
