Objective:
To establish a high performance liquid chromatography method with spectrofluorescence detector for the quantitative analysis of benzopyrene in red clover extract.
Method:
Analysis was performed on Hypersil C18 column (4. 6 mm x 200 mm, 5 microm) with acetonitrile and water (70: 30) as mobile phase; The excitation wavelength and emission wavelengh were 368 nm and 405 nm, respectively; Flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1).
Result:
The linear range was 0.93-37.2 ng x mL(-1), and r = 0.9992 (n = 5). The average recovery of benzopyrene was 85.2% (n = 9).
Conclusion:
The method was convenient and accurate with good recovery.
