Free radical scavengers in the bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and curcumin of turmeric (Curcuma longa) were screened, identified, quantified and isolation using coupled off-line-2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and on-line screening high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-ABTS assay. There was a very small margin of error between the off-line-ABTS method and the on-line screening HPLC-ABTS method.

In this study, a previous DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to measure the concentration of formaldehyde in ambient and source environments has been improved. To improve the disadvantage of the previous HPLC method, an appropriate composition ratio of mobile phase (water: acetonitrile (ACN)) was determined and an isocratic analysis was conducted. Furthermore, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation(LOQ), accuracy, and precision were investigated to verify the reliability of the analytical conditions determined. Finally, samples of exhaust gases from five different industrial facilities were applied to HPLC analytial method proposed to determine their formaldehyde concentrations. The appropriate composition ratio of the mobile phase under the isocratic condition was a mixture of water(40%) and ACN(60%). As the volume fraction of the organic solvent ACN increases, retention time of the formaldehyde peak was reduced. Detection time of formaldehyde peak determined using the proposed isocratic method was reduced from 7 minutes(previous HPLC method) to approximately 3 minutes. LOD, LOQ, accuracy, and precision of the formaldehyde determined using standard solutions were 0.787 ppm, 2.507 ppm, 93.1%, and 0.33%, respectively, all of which are within their recommended ranges. Average concentrations of the formaldehyde in five exhaust gases ranged from 0.054 ppm to 1.159 ppm. The lowest concentration (0.054 ppm) was found at samples from waste gas incinerator in a bisphenol-A manufacturing plant. The highest was observed at samples from the absorption process in manufacturing facilities of chemicals including formaldehyde and hexamine. The analytical time of the formaldehyde in ambient air can be shortened by using the isocratic analytical method under appropriate mobile phase conditions.

In the present study the sesamin and sesamol contents of the sesame extracts prepared from nine provinces in Korea were determined HPLC method. A comparative test was also carried out using the Villavecchia-suarez test, the red colored reaction for the sesamol and sesamol derivatives. The contents of sesamin and sesamol of the sesame oils from each area by the HPLC method were 0.57-0.78% and 0.010-0.023%, respectively, and the paralled results were obtained by the Villavecchia-suarez test and the HPLC method. The average content of the sesamin was $0.68{\pm}0.074%$ by the HPLC method and the average absorbance of the Villavecchia-suarez test was $0.56{\pm}0.034$. The contents of sesamol from sesame oil by the HPLC method and the Villavecchia-suarez test were so low that it was not possible to correlate with the sesamin contents. The contents of sesamol from the sesame oil produced in Kyeong-gi and Jeon-nam provinces were $0.010{\pm}0.002%$ and $0.023{\pm}0.004%$, respectively.

Timosaponin A III, an active and major compound, was isolated from rhizomes of Anemarrhena asphodeloides. The quantitative analysis of timosaponin AIII was performed by a high performance liquid chromatographic(HPLC) method using ELSD and the useful extraction method for HPLC analysis was examined as well. This HPLC method can be utilized as the standard analytical method for the evaluation of the quality of Anemarrhena rhizoma in the steps of breeding and cultivation. Additionally, the HPLC analysis method can be useful for the evaluation of the quality of Anemarrhena rhizoma sold as a traditional medicine in current markets.

This study was conducted to develop an HPLC method for determining pantothenic acid in fortified foods which has typically been determined by microbiological assay (MBA) according to AOAC and Korean Food Code approved methods. Pantothenic acid was determined by reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC using UV absorption (200 nm) after extraction with 20 mM potassium phosphate solution by sonication. The recovery of spiked samples and detection limit (LOD) by HPLC were 83.5∼109.6% and 0.5 ppm (mg/kg), respectively. The LOD of the microbiological assay (MBA) was much lower than that of HPLC. The concentrations of pantothenic acid analyzed in all tested samples (n=13) confirmed compliance with declared label claims. The range of recovery ratio by the HPLC method when compared to the microbiological assay was 91.9∼117.6%. There was not significant difference (p<0.01) between the HPLC and MBA methods and the equation of the regression curve was y=1.1428x-0.2269 (r=0.9842). This proposed HPLC method for determining pantothenic acid appears to be suitable for determining pantothenic acid concentrations above 0.25 mg/100 g in fortified foods.

This study was conducted to develop an HPLC method for determining vitamin B$_{12}$ in fortified foods which has typically been determined by microbiological assays according to AOAC and Korean Food Code approved methods. Vitamin B$_{12}$ (cyanocobalamin) was determined by reversed-phase HPLC with a triple column and UV/VIS dectector (550 nm) using the column switching technique after extraction with 5 mM potassium phosphate solution by sonication without a clean-up procedure. The recovery of spiked samples and limit of detection (LOD) by HPLC were 78.6 ∼107.5 % and 2 ppb ($\mu\textrm{g}$/kg), respectively. The LOD of the microbiological assay (MBA) was much lower than that of HPLC. The concentrations of vitamin B$_{12}$ analyzed in all tested samples (n=12) confirmed compliance with declared label claims. The range of recovery ratio by the HPLC method when compared to the microbiological assay was 76.2 ∼140.0 %. There was not significant difference between the HPLC and MBA methods (p < 0.01) with r=0.9791 and linear regression y=0.9923x-0.04. The HPLC method for determining vitamin B$_{12}$ using the column-switching technique appears to be suitable for determining vitamin B$_{12}$ concentrations above 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/100 g in fortified foods.ied foods.
