title: Isocratic chromatography of resveratrol and piceid after previous generation of fluorescent photoproducts: wine analysis without sample preparation.
abstract: Resveratrol and its 3-glucoside (piceid), are stilbene-like molecules produced by plants. Both of them are weakly fluorescent, but highly fluorescent compounds are obtained when their hydroethanolic solutions are UV-irradiated, which implies a substantial improvement in the sensitivity of analytical methods. Experimental design (central composite design) together with the response surface methodology have been used to find optimum conditions for the fast, sensitive, and precise chromatographic analysis (with isocratic elution) of resveratrol and piceid in wine samples. These compounds have been UV-transformed into their respective photoproducts, which have been separated in a C18 column (Novapack C(18) 150x3.9 mm, 4 microm) by isocratic elution, using a mobile phase made up of acetonitrile and 4.1 vol% aqueous acetic acid, 19:81 v/v, at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min, and fluorimetrically detected at 364 nm (lambda(exc) = 260 nm). Detection limits (S/N = 3) are 0.29 and 0.28 microg/L for resveratrol and piceid, respectively. The method has been applied to the analysis of these compounds in wine samples without a clean-up step. The analysis is completed in only 20 min. The standard addition method has been applied to the analysis of a commercial red wine and average recoveries near 100% were obtained for resveratrol and piceid. Three wine pools were satisfactorily analysed by external calibration.
