title: Determination of polyphenols by high-performance liquid chromatography with inhibited chemiluminescence detection.
abstract: A chemiluminescence reaction detector was developed for the detection of polyphenols separated by HPLC based on the inhibition of chemiluminescence from the luminol-potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) reaction by polyphenols. The separation was carried out on a RP-C18 column at 37 degrees C by using stepwise gradient elutions. The detection limits are in the range of 6.8 x 10(-7)-2.0 x 10(-9) g/ml for catechol, protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, rutin, resorcinol, hydroquinone and p-tert.butylpyrocatechol. The method is sensitive, selective, fast and simple. It has been successfully applied to the determination of chlorogenic acid and rutin in real tobacco samples.
