Separating Fat-Soluble Vitamins by Reversed Phase HPLC, using Sigma-Aldrich Supelco Discovery Columns
28 Jul 2015Food manufacturers routinely analyze vitamins in their products to determine quantitative levels and to monitor changes that have occurred in food processing. HPLC is preferred for vitamin separation because of its high selectivity. In this application note, various mixtures of fat-soluble vitamins in A, D, and E groups were studied by reversed-phase HPLC using Sigma-Aldrich Supelco Discovery columns.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Typical instrumentation includes blanchers, color sorters, cookers, grinders, and refrigeration. These are used to replicate the processes commonly used in the commercial preparation of food and beverages.HPLC Method DevelopmentIt is important to develop and validate HPLC methods in order to identify, quantify or purify compounds of interest in the most efficient way. Effective method development ensures optimization, quality control and cost effectiveness.VitaminsFat Soluble VitaminsReversed-Phase LC
