      Separation of eight selected flavan-3-ols on cellulose thin-layer chromatographic plates
      Irena VOVK*, Breda SIMONOVSKA, H. VUORELA (*Laboratory for Food Chemistry, National Institute of Chemistry, Hajdrihova 19, 1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia)

      J. Chromatogr. A 1077 (2), 188-194 (2005). HPTLC of (+)-catechin (C), (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-gallocatechin (GC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg), (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), procyanidin B1, and procyanidin B2 on cellulose prewashed with water (not necessary, when water was used as developing solvent) and dried with a hair dryer, with 1) water; 2) 1-propanol - water 1:4; 3) 1-propanol - water - acetic acid 4:2:1; 4) 1-propanol - water - acetic acid 2:8:1 in horizontal developing chamber (sandwich configuration). Detection with vanillin - H3PO4 reagent. Water enabled the separation of epimers C from EC and GC from EGC, as well as the dimers procyanidin B1 and B2. Additionally C, EGC, B1 and B2 were separated from all the other compounds. The best separation of the five main catechins (EC, GC, EGC, ECg, EGCg) present in green tea extract was achieved using 1-propanol - water - acetic acid 2:8:1. The chromatograms of oak bark extract developed in solvents with higher water content (1-propanol - water 1:4 and 1-propanol - water - acetic acid 2:8:1) showed less bands than chromatograms developed in solvents with higher organic modifier content (e.g. 1-propanol - water - acetic acid 4:2:1). It was proved that such behavior was due to the presence of procyanidins beside the main component catechin.

      Simultaneous analysis of anthocyanins and anthocyanidins on cellulose thin layers
      O. ANDERSEN, G. FRANCIS

      J. Chromatogr. 318, 450-454 (1985). TLC of anthocyan aglycones, monoglycosides, diglycosides and triglycosides on cellulose with conc. HCl - formic acid water 30.5:7.7:61.5; 30.8:27.8:41.4; 24.9:23.7:51.4 and 7 other solvents. Rf values of 27 compounds in 11 solvent systems are listed. The solvent composition 24.9:23.7:51.4 has the advantages of resolving, within a reasonable Rf range, aglycones, monoglycosides and diglycosides.

      Comparison of TLC and HPLC methods used for analysis of (-)-epicatechin and its dimer procyanidin B2 in chocolate
      V. GLAVNIK, B, SIMONOVSKA, Irena VOVK* (*National Institute of Chemistry, Laboratory for Food Chemistry, Hajdrihova 19, SI-1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia; irena.vovk@ki.si)

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 23, 230-232 (2010). HPTLC of (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, (-)-epigallocatechin, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, (-)-epicatechin gallate, procyanidin B2, procyanidin A2, and methylxanthines (theobromine and caffein) on cellulose with n-propanol - water - acetic acid 20:80:1 in a horizontal chamber. Detection by dipping for 1 s into 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde detection reagent. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 655 nm. By densitometry LOD for (-)-epicatechin and procyanidin B2 was 0.2 and 2 ng/zone, respectively; LOQ was 0.4 ng and 4 ng/zone, respectively. These limits were lower by a factor 50 for (-)-epicatechin and by a factor of 10 for procyanidin B2 than those obtained by HPLC. The TLC method gave a more accurate result for the (-)-epicatechin content of baking chocolate than the HPLC method which was also more time-consuming.
