Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a method for simultaneous determination of zeaxanthin ，β-carotene，β-cryptoxanthin palmitate and zeaxanthin dipalmitate in Lycium barbarum . METHODS L. barbarum was extracted with n-hexane-anhydrous ethanol-acetone-toluene（10∶6∶7∶7，V/V/V/V）by ultrasonic method. High performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）method was adopted. The determination was performed on YMC C 30 column with mobile phase A consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-water （81∶ 14 ∶ 5，V/V/V）and mobile phase B consisted of dichloromethane （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 20 ℃. The detection wavelength was set at 450 nm，and sample size was 20 μL. Using zeaxanthin as control，the relative correction factors （RCFs）of β-carotene，β-cryptoxanthin palmitate and zeaxanthin dipalmitate were calculated ， and then the content of each component was calculated according to RCFs and compared with the results of external standard method（ESM）. RESULTS The linear range of zeaxanthin ，β-carotene，β-cryptoxanthin palmitate and zeaxanthin dipalmitate were 0.119 4-2.983 8，0.121 7-1.521 6，0.285 9-5.718 8，8.460 5-211.513 3 μg/mL（all R2＞0.999）. RSDs of precision ，repeatability and stability（16 h）tests were all less than 4％. The average recoveries were 103.34％，107.37％，105.64％，96.16％（RSD＜5％，n＝ 9）. The average RCFs of β-carotene，β-cryptoxanthin palmitate and zeaxanthin dipalmitate were 1.109，1.390，1.158. The relative errors of the content determination results by quantitative analysis of multi-components by singer marker （QAMS）and ESM were within ±1％. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC-QAMS method is accurate and stable ，which can be used for the content determination and quality control of 4 carotenoids in L. barbarum .
