Research on Separation and Determination of Carnitine Enantiomers in Health Foods Based on Ultra-performance Convergence Chromatography
Separation of two carnitine enantiomers,i.e. ,D,-carnitine and ,L,-carnitine by ultra-performance convergence chromatography(UPC,2,) was attempted,and a residue analytical method for these carnitine enantiomers in health food samples was established.The solid and liquid health food samples were ultrasonically extracted with ethyl alcohol as the solvent.After derivatization of the extracting solution,a chiral chromatographic column,Acquity Trefoil CEL1(3.0 mm × 150 mm,2.5 µm) column was adopted for separation.The detection wavelenths for photo-diode array detector(PAD) was 244 nm.The separation effect of the two carnitine enantiomers reached the best when supercritical carbon dioxide and ammonium hydroxide-methanol(1∶99,by volume) were taken as the mobile phases at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min by gradient elution.Results showed that there were good linear relationships for the two carnitine enantiomers in the range of 0.50-20.00 mg/L,with correlation coefficients(,r,2,) greater than 0.999.The quantitative limits of the method(,S,/,N ,= 10) for ,D,-carnitine and ,L,-carnitine were both 25 mg/kg.Recovery experiment was carried out within the range of 25-250 mg/kg,and the recoveries at three spiked levels ranged from 86.0% to 110%,with the relative standard deviations(RSD) of 4.3%-7.0%.The method was used to detect standard carnitine racemates purchased from the reagent company in order to investigate its effectiveness and practicability.The results suggested that ,D,-carnitine accounted for 51.2% and ,L,-carnitine accounted for 48.8% in the standard carnitine racemates.This method was also used to detect the contents of ,D,-carnitine and ,L,-carnitine in 10 health foods purchased from the market.The experimental results indicated that ,D,-carnitine wasn't detected in the 10 health food samples,but ,L,-carnitine was detected in all of them,with the content reaching 96%-102% of the label value.With the characteristics of rapid analysis,good separation effect,good reproducibility and low consumption of organic solvent,this method is applicable for both the determination of ,L,-carnitine content in health food samples and purity analysis.It provides a scientific support for the development and use of chiral drugs as well as the formulation of relevant regulations.
