Determination of Phospholipids in Milk by HPLC with Evaporative Light Scattering Detector: Optimization and Validation
Authored by Rodríguez-Otero JL
Phospholipids are part of the milk fat globule membrane. Functional and
technological properties make them interesting for the development of
functional foods or as ingredients of technological interest. In this
study an analytical procedure for determination of major phospholipids
in milk (phosphatidyl Ethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidyl
Choline, phosphatidyl Serine and sphingomyelin) by HPLC with evaporative
light scattering detector was optimized and validated. The best
calibrations were achieved when an exponential model was applied; the
squared correlation coefficients show a satisfactory linearity ranging
from 0.975 to 0.993. The limit of detection for the different
phospholipids ranged from 0.17μg for phosphatidyl Serine to 0.61μg for
phosphatidyl Ethanolamine; and the limit of quantification from 0.40μg
for phosphatidyl Serine to 1.26μg for phosphatidyl Ethanolamine. The
intra-day and inter-day precision of the method was below 10% for all
the compounds except phosphatidylinositol in the intra-day assay with a
value of 12.4%. However, the values of intra-day and inter-day
repeatability show that the variations, due to the extraction procedure,
do not depend whether the assays were performed after short intervals
of time or not. The recovery ranged from 74% for phosphatidil Serine to
112% for phosphatidilcoline. The addition of formic acid to the mobile
phase in order to achieve an acidic buffer extends the column life
considerably.
