      F. SCHULTE, J. MAEDER, L. W. KROH, U. PANNE, Janina KNEIPP* (*Chemistry Department, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Brook-Taylor-Strasse 2, 12489 Berlin, Germany; janina.kneipp@chemie.hu-berlin.de)

      Anal. Chem. 81, 8426-8433 (2009). HPTLC of zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein and pollen extracts on silica gel with tetrahydofuran - methylene chloride - n-hexane by automated multiple development. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 425 nm, which has to be accomplished within 5 min after development due to the fast bleaching of the carotenoid color. The analysis of carotenoids in pollen extracts was confirmed by resonance Raman data measured directly on the HPTLC plates.

      An image analysis of TLC patterns for quality control of saffron based on soil salinity effect
      H. SERESHTI*, Z. POURSORKH, G. ALIAKBARZADEH, S. ZARRE, S. ATAOLAHI (*School of Chemistry, College of Science, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, sereshti@ut.ac.ir)

      Food Chem. 239, 831-839 (2018). HPTLC of saffron on silica gel with 1-butanol – acetic acid – water 4:1:1. Qualitative identification at UV 254 nm. The hRf values of the nine detected zones (crocins and picrocrocin derivatives) were 19, 29, 43, 56, 63, 67, 80, 85, and 96. Captured images were imported to the MATLAB program for pattern recognition and discrimination between different saffron samples on the basis of their soil electro-conductivity values as indicator of soil salinity. The data pre-processing included elimination of chromatographic artifacts such as baseline drifts and spot misalignment.

      A thin-layer chromatographic study. J. Chromatogr. 440, 275-280 (1988). Determination of the physico-chemical interactions between ascorbic acid and linear or cyclized bile pigment dimethyl esters by TLC on silica with benzene - methylene chloride - methanol 5:1:1. Use of the interacting barrier technique to establish a reactivity which is a function of the degree of cyclization of the molecule. Discussion of the results from spectrophotometric studies in connection with the possible biochemical role of the bilins.

      Thin-Layer Chromatographic analysis of carotenoids in plant and animal samples
      A. ZEB*, M. MURKOVIC (*Institute for Biochemistry, Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria; Alamzeb01@yahoo.com)

      J. Planar Chromatogr. 23, 94-103 (2010). This review describes available data on analysis of carotenoids by TLC. Petroleum ether, acetone, and hexane are the major mobile phases used for TLC. This technique was found to have the potential to be the first choice for analysis of carotenoids in biological samples. The uses of other, orthogonal chromatographic methods, for example HPLC, MS, scanning densitometry, and image analysis with TLC can enable precise analysis of carotenoids. The review consists of the following parts: 1. Introduction; 1.1 Function of carotenoids; 1.2 Occurrence of carotenoids; 2. Analysis of carotenoids; 2.1 Sampling; 2.2 Sample preparation; 2.3 Extraction of carotenoids; 2.4 Saponification; 2.5 Chromatographic analysis; 3. Thin-layer chromatographic analysis of carotenoids; 3.1 TLC of carotenoids from microbial and animal sources; 3.2 TLC of carotenoids from plant sources; 3.3 Normal-phase TLC analysis of carotenoids; 3.4 Reversed-phase TLC analysis of carotenoids; 3.5 TLC analysis of carotenoids with scanning densitometry; 4. Advantages of TLC in carotenoid analysis; 5. Conclusion and future studies. 134 References.
