Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish an HPLC method for simultaneously determining phosphatidylcholine (PC), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in soybean phospholipids. METHODS The HPLC system consisted of a Phenomenex silica column(4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm), a mobile phase of n-hexane-isopropanol-water(5∶80∶20). The flow rate was 0.7 mL·min
-1. Column temperature was set at 25 ℃ and the wavelength of detector was set at 206 nm. RESULTS The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.4-2.4 mg·mL
-1 for PC and 10-60 μg·mL
-1 for LPC, respectively. The average recovery for PC was 99.4% and RSD was 0.40%(
n=6). The average recovery for LPC was 98.0% and RSD was 1.65%(
n=6). CONCLUSION The method is simple, rapid and specially. It can be used for the determination of PC and LPC in soybean phospholipids.
