Development of HPLC method for determination of phenolic compounds on a core shell column by direct injection of wine samples

Abstract

Phenolic compounds are frequently present in various natural products, and they can have different beneficial biological potentials. The most widely used method for determination of individual phenolic compounds is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In this paper, a method for simultaneous determination of 16 phenolic compounds (gallic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, catechin, syringic acid, trans-cinnamic acid, hesperetin, naringenin, vanillic acid, benzoic acid, coumaric acid, resveratrol, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, quercetin, and kaempferol) on a core–shell column was developed. The separation method conducted on a standard ODS (250 mm) column was transferred to Poroshell column and optimized using non-ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) apparatus. Phenolic compounds were separated fast and efficiently during 30-min analysis, and validation parameters were determined. The developed method was successfully applied on the analysis of phenolic content after direct injection of red wines from three different grape varieties.
