Semi-micro-HPLC using a column-switching technique was developed for simultaneous determination of vitamin A and E contents in infant formula. Vitamin A and E were extracted by PDA - HPLC with reversed phase column using organic solvent and their contents in Certified Reference Material (CRM) and infant formula were determined and compared with hydrolysis method and rapid extraction. Developed method has many advantages of simple and rapid sample preparation and simultaneous determination of vitamin A and E by micro-HPLC using reversed phase column.

본 연구에서는 조제분유 중에 영양강화를 위해 첨가하는 비타민 A와 E의 함량측정을 위해 각기 다른 실험방법을 사용하지 않고 2가지 비타민을 동시에 분석하는 신속분석법을 위와 같이 수행하였다. 비타민 A와 E를 유기용매로 동시에 신속하게 추출하고 역상컬럼과 PDA-HPLC를 이용하여 각각의 성분으로 모두 분리한 후 동시에 검출하는 방법을 사용하였다. 국제표준인증물질 및 조제분유를 시료로 사용하여 본 연구의 실험방법에 의해 측정된 값을 식품공전방법 및 AOAC방법에 의한 측정값과 비교한 결과 유사한 측정결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구의 실험방법에 의하여 수행한 국제인증표준물질중의 비타민 A와 E의 함량측정 결과는 인증된 표준값내의 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서, 비타민 A또는 E를 강화한 분유, 이유식 등의 분말 유제품 중에서 비타민 A와 E의 함량을 측정 하고자 할 때 한정된 장비와 인력으로 각각의 2가지 실험방법을 수행하기가 어렵거나 시간단축이 필요한 경우, 본 연구에서 수행한 실험방법과 같이 시료 전처리를 간단하고 신속하게 수행할 뿐만 아니라 역상컬럼과 PDA-HPLC에 의해 비타민 A와 E를 동시에 분석함으로써 보다 효율적인 분석을 진행 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to develop a method to simultaneously quantify vitamins A and E in infant formula. To determine the vitamin A and E content, vitamin A and four different vitamin E isomers (${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-, and ${\delta}$-tocopherol) were separated by high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector using a Develosil RPAQUEOUS RP-$C_{30}$ column ($4.6{\times}250$ mm, 5 ${\mu}M$). The vitamin A and E contents in the certified reference material determined using this method were within the certified range of standard values. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) for vitamin A were 0.02 and 0.06 ${\mu}g/L$, respectively. LODs and LOQs for the vitamin E isomers ranged from 0.20 to 0.55 and from 0.67 to 1.81 ${\mu}g/L$, respectively. Linear analyses indicated that the square of the correlation coefficient for the vitamin A and E isomers was 0.9997-0.9999. The recovery of vitamins ranged from 96.69 to 97.79%. The results demonstrate that this novel method could be used to reliably analyze vitamin A and E content in infant formula.

A simple HPLC-DAD method was developed and validated to determine B group vitamin content (thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine and folic acid) in supplemented food samples, i.e., infant formula, cereal, low-calorie food, a multi-vitamin pill and a vitamin drink. In this study, the most significant advantages were simultaneous determination of the six B group vitamins in various food matrices and a small number of sample treatment steps that required only an organic solvent, acetonitrile. Moreover, this method prevents reduction of column durability, because the mobile phase does not contain ion-pairing reagents. Analytes were separated on a Develosil RPAQUEOUS $C_{30}$ (4.6 mm ${\times}$ 250 mm, 5 ${\mu}M$ particle size) column with a gradient elution of acetonitrile and 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) at a flow rate between 0.8 and 1.0 mL/min. Detection was performed at 275 nm, except for that of pantothenic acid (205 nm). The calibration curves for all six vitamins showed good linearity with correlation coefficients ($r^2$) higher than 0.995. The developed method was validated with respect to linearity, intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision, limit of quantification (LOQ), recovery and stability. The method showed good precision and accuracy, with intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation less than 15% at all concentrations. The recovery was carried out according to the standard addition procedure, with yields ranging from 89.8 to 104.4%. This method was successfully applied to the determination of vitamin B groups in supplemented food products.

Smallanthus sonchifolius (Yacon, Asteraceae) was originally cultivated in South America and used in food and traditional medicine by Andean inhabitants. Yacon is potentially beneficial for the management of diabetes and is composed of fructooligosaccharides, proteins, minerals and phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of Yacon tuber extract (YTE) and its constituent, chlorogenic acid (CGA), in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In this study, a HPLC method was developed for simultaneous determination of major active phenolic components, CGA and caffeic acid in YTE. We investigated the hypoglycemic effect of YTE and CGA in STZ-induced diabetic rats and studied glucose tolerance test (GTT). The effect of orally administered multiple doses of YTE and CGA on plasma biochemical parameters was examined using diabetic rats. We also measured free radical scavenging activity by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Oral administration of YTE (200 mg/kg) and CGA (10 mg/kg) for 6 weeks produced a significant hypoglycemic effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats. YTE and CGA-treated groups exhibited significantly decreased plasma glucose surge during the GTT. Total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations were significantly decreased by 33% and 49%, respectively, in YTE-treated rats. TC and TG concentrations were also significantly decreased by 26 % and 41%, respectively, in CGA-treated rats. In the DPPH assay, free radical scavenging activity of CGA was similar to that of vitamin E, a positive control. This study suggests that YTE and its constituent, CGA, may be a useful option for management of hyperglycemia and diabetic nephropathy.
