title: Application of a polarity parameter model to the separation of fat-soluble vitamins by reversed-phase HPLC.
abstract: The retention behavior of a series of fat-soluble vitamins has been established on the basis of a polarity retention model: log k = (log k)(0) + p (P(m) (N) - P(s) (N)), with p being the polarity of the solute, P(m) (N) the mobile phase polarity, and (log k)(0) and P(m) (N) two parameters for the characterization of the stationary phase. To estimate the p-values of solutes, two approaches have been considered. The first one is based on the application of a QSPR model, derived from the molecular structure of solutes and their log P(o/w), while in the second one, the p-values are obtained from several experimental measurements. The quality of prediction of both approaches has also been evaluated, with the second one giving more accurate results for the most lipophilic vitamins. This model allows establishing the best conditions to separate and determine simultaneously some fat-soluble vitamins in dairy foods.
