HPLC-DAD method for simultaneous determination of natural polyphenols

A simple and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) method was developed for simultaneous determination of 9 natural substances common in plants: three major catechins ((-)-epicatechin gallate, (-)-catechin, (-)-epigallocatechin), four major fl avonoids (rutin, quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol), gallic and vanillic acid. The optimized method was carried out for 40 minutes with detection wavelengths of 278 and 368 nm, gradient elution system on a C18 reversedphase column. The developed system was evaluated for several validation characteristics, as system suitability, specifi city, linearity, limit of detections (LODs) and limit of quantifi cations (LOQs). The newly established HPLC method was proved to be specifi c, sensitive, linear and precise. The received results showed good chromatographic separation and assumed that the described method was validated. The HPLC-DAD method can be a useful tool for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the selected polyphenol compounds and can be improved in the future for the examination of the polyphenols of interests in individual herbal infusions.
