ABSTRACT
A new method was developed for the separation and determination of inosine monophosphate (IMP) by ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection. Separation was achieved on an anion-exchange column Ionpac AS11-HC of high capacity within a short time. 30 mmol/L KOH produced by an EGC-KOH eluent generator was used for isocratic elution. No interferences existed between the seven common inorganic anions and IMP. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the calibration curve for IMP was 1. 0-200 mg/L, with correlation coefficient ( R2 ) of 0. 999. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for retention time, peak height and peak area of IMP were 0. 16%, 0. 94% and 0. 86%, respectively, indicating good reproducibility of the method. The method was successfully applied to the determination of IMP in meat products, with spiked recovery ranging from 86. 0% to 110. 0%. This simple, accurate and reliable method could be served as a rapid and effective analytical tool for meat flavoring research.
ABSTRACT
A new analytical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of CrⅢand CrⅥusing on-line sample pretreatment valve-switching ion chromatography. The organic matrix in leather was removed by using a reverse-phase column as the pretreatment column. Before injection, EDTA was added into sample solution to react with the CrⅢto form anion which could absorb visible light strongly. After injection, the ions separated by the pretreatment column were received in a collection loop. Then the ions were delivered into an analytical column and separated. CrⅥ then was derived with the derivatization reagent 1, 5-diphenylcarbazide ( DPC) , and detected together with CrⅢ-EDTA complex by a UV-Vis detector. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the method for CrⅢ and CrⅥ was 0. 3-10 mg/L (r=0. 9991) and 0. 05-2 mg/L ( r = 0. 9992 ), whereas detection limits ( S/N = 3 ) were 80. 78 μg/L and 6. 67 μg/L, respectively. The recoveries were in the range of 88. 7%-108. 5% with the relative standard deviations for retention time and peak area less than 3%. The method could be applied to determine CrⅢ and CrⅥ in leather and cloth effectively and quickly.
