Liquid Chromatography With Multi-Channel Electrochemical Detection for the Determination of Resveratrol in Wine, Grape Juice, and Grape Seed Capsules With Automated Solid Phase Extraction

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography/ electrochemistry method with multi-channel detection was developed for the determination of the natural product trans-resveratrol in wines, grape juice, and grape seed capsules. Samples were prepared with an automated solid phase extraction workstation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18(100 × 2.0 mm) 3 μm column with a mobile phase containing 20 mM NaAc, 0.5 mM EDTA, pH 4.5, and 18 % acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. A four channel detector with glassy carbon electrodes was used, which can control up to four working electrodes simultaneously with applied potentials of +800, 700, 600, 500 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, and gave a better characterization of resveratrol in the complex matrices. The calibration curve was linear over the analytical range of 5–1000 ng/mL. With this method the content of resveratrol in different wines, grape juice and grape seed capsules was determined.
