title: A new approach to the study of glucosinolates by isocratic liquid chromatography. Part I. Rapid determination of desulfated derivatives of rapeseed glucosinolates.
abstract: Liquid chromatographic (LC) analysis of desulfated derivatives of rapeseed glucosinolates has been carried out under isocratic elution conditions with different CN-bonded stationary phases. The effects of the eluant composition (water, acetonitrile, and methanol) with the stationary phase (Zorbax CN, Lichrospher CN, and Ultrasphere CN) and temperature (20 and 50 degrees C) are described. An isocratic LC method performed at room temperature using a Lichrospher CN column and water as mobile phase is proposed. The chromatographic analysis can be done in less than 12 min, and it is easier and less expensive than the traditional gradient mode. Four commercial samples of rapeseed containing various quantities of other cruciferous seeds (wild mustard and stinkweed) as an admixture have been analyzed to determine the total glucosinolate content. Relative standard deviations of repeatability of the isocratic and gradient LC methods ranged from 0.4 to 1.7% and from 2.7 to 4.7%, respectively. Comparison of the results showed good agreement between the 2 methods (beter than 98%).
