High-performance liquid chromatography separation and light-scattering detection of phospholipids from cooked beef.
A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the separation and quantitative analysis of major phospholipids (PLs) in biological systems is described. PLs were purified by solid-phase extraction with an amino (NH2) phase. Separation of PLs was carried out on an HPLC silica gel column, with a mobile phase consisting of chloroform, methanol and ammonium hydroxide, and detection was performed with a light-scattering evaporative detector. HPLC analysis of PLs extracted from ground beef cooked under different conditions and capillary gas chromatography of the fatty acid methyl esters showed that cooking treatments did not have a significant effect on the PL composition and fatty acid contents of the single PLs in ground beef.
