分别使用正相柱和反相柱,采用高效液相色谱‐紫外检测器( high performance liquid chromatography‐ultraviolet detector , HPLC‐UV)法测定植物甾醇,比较2种色谱柱法对植物甾醇检测的优缺点.正相色谱条件为:以Hypersil SiO2(4.6 mm ×250 mm ,5μm)为色谱柱,流动相为V (正己烷)∶V (异丙醇)=99∶1,柱温35℃,流速1.0 mL/min ,检测波长205 nm ;反相色谱条件为:以默克 RP‐18(4.6 mm ×250 mm ,5μm)为色谱柱,流动相为纯甲醇,柱温35℃,流速1.0 mL/min ,检测波长205 nm .结果表明:混合甾醇在反相柱分离下出现3个峰,各种甾醇的分离度好;正相柱的甾醇只有1个峰,但样品在正相体系中的溶解性高于反相体系,而且正相体系甾醇出峰时间比反相体系快,可节约实验时间.说明在不要求各种甾醇分离效果的前提下,正相柱更适合用于植物甾醇检测.
@@@@Summary Phytosterols are natural bioactive compounds , usually including stigmasterol , sitosterol , campesterol , and rapeseed sterol . They have attracted growing attention owing to their beneficial effects . High performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) is the most frequently used method to quantify phytosterols . Although several detectors such as ELSD ( evaporative light scattering detector) and UV ( ultraviolet detector) are available for HPLC analysis , but UV detector is believed to be much more effective and always preferred in laboratories . In the recent literature available , the reverse phase column was mostly applied to determine phytosterols in HPLC‐UV system . However , the performance of normal phase column in phytosterol analysis has not been well studied and compared . In this study , the performances of both reverse phase and normal phase columns in HPLC‐UV system for phytosterol analysis were compared , and their respective advantages were illustr
