Abstract:
A method using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was established for analysis and identification of chlorogenic acid along with its related impurities. A Gemini C18 HPLC column (4.6 mm x 150 mm,5 microm) was used with acetonitrile-water ( containing 0.1% formic acid) (8:92, v/v) as mobile phase. Eight related impurities of chlorogenic acid were identified and their structures were determined by using online HPLC-MS/MS and photodiode array detector (DAD). The method is quick, simple and can be used directly to identify the structure of unknown trace substances in the sample of chlorogenic acid.
