Abstract
An ultrafast analytical protocol based on online solid-phase extraction (SPE)/high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of resveratrol in red wines has been developed. In the present work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as SPE sorbents for the analytes' online extraction and cleanup. The target analytes were separated on a fused-core C18-silica column (Halo, 50 mm × 2.1 mm i.d., 2.7 μm) and quantified by triple-quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry in negative ion multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The proposed analytical procedures were carefully optimized and validated. The calibration function is linear from 0.37 to 370 ng mL(-1) and from 0.13 to 130 ng mL(-1) for trans- and cis-resveratrol, respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQs) of trans- and cis-resveratrol obtained were 0.05 and 0.06 ng mL(-1), which means that the proposed method is suitable for trace analysis of resveratrol at low-level concentration. At the three fortified levels (low, medium, and high), recoveries of resveratrol ranging from 76.9 to 108.3% were obtained. Eight red wine samples from different regions of China were analyzed. The results indicated that the present online SPE-LC-MS/MS system significantly increased sample throughput and decreased solvent consumption, exhibiting great potential to be applied for analyzing resveratrol in red wines.
