Determination of five flavonoids contents in vine tea by HPLC
C18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm)with methanol(A)-0.1%-phosphoric acid solution(B)as the mobile phase for gradient elution was used in the HPLC to measure the contents of five flavonoids.The detection wavelength of(2R,3R)-dihydromyricetin was 290 nm,and the detection wavelength of(2S,3S)-dihydromyricetin,taxifolin,myricitrin and myricetin was 290 nm before 21 min and 255 nm from 21 to 30 min.The flow rate was 1 mL/min,the column temperature was maintained at 30℃,and the injection volume was 10 μL.The results showed that the linear regression equations of the contents of(2R,3R)-dihydromyricetin,taxifolin,myricitrin and myricetin were Y=0.503 1X+0.602 8,R2=0.999 2,Y=0.590 4X+0.072 0,R2=0.999 1,Y=0.433 4X-0.007 7,R2=0.999 5,Y=0.507 7X-0.020 7,R2=0.998 8,and the linear ranges were 10.6-106,2.50-50.00,2.65-53.00,1.06-26.50 μg/mL,respectively.The single-wavelength(290 nm)method for the determination of(2R,3R)-dihydromyricetin content,and the dual-wavelengths(290,255 nm)method for the determination of the contents of taxifolin,myricitrin,myricetin and the peak area of(2S,3S)-dihydromyricetin were superior for system application,linear relationship,repeatability,stability and standard recovery with high precision.The chromatographic peak separations of 5 flavonoids were greater than 1.5,the theoretical plate numbers of(2R,3R)-dihydromyricetin was greater than 5 000,the theoretical plate numbers of(2S,3S)-dihydromyricetin,taxifolin,myricitrin,myricetin were greater than 20 000,and the detection time of single sample was 30 min.This method could be used for the analysis and detection of flavonoids contents in vine tea.
