Determination of preservative in iron maltose syrup by HPLC / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of preservative in iron maltose syrup.Methods A Kromasil 100-5 C18 column was used with acetonitrile-sodium acetate buffer solution(40 ︰60) as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and 254 nm as the detection wavelength.The column temperature was set at 30 ℃.Results The calibration curve was linear within the range of 0.62 ~3.72 μg/mL for methyl parahydroxybenzoate, 0.18~1.07μg/mL for propyl parahydroxybenzoate, and the linear equation was Y=228494X-2512.5,Y=203351X-3471.4, respectively.The average recovery of methyl parahydroxybenzoate, propyl parahydroxybenzoate was 100.9%(RSD=1.5%),99.6%(RSD=0.5%), respectively.Conclusion The established method is simple, rapid and accurate, which could be used in the determination of preservative in iron maltose syrup.
