Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of tea component detection methods, specifically relating to a method for simultaneously detecting four alkaloids and ten catechin components in tea. Background Technology

[0002] Tea, as a widely consumed beverage, contains a variety of bioactive components that have a significant impact on human health. Among these, theophylline, theobromine, caffeine, and thalassemia are common alkaloids found in tea, while catechins are a class of polyphenolic compounds with broad biological activity. These are the most important physiologically active substances in tea, primarily composed of monomers such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epicatechin (EC). Many physiological and pharmacological functions of catechins have been confirmed, such as antioxidant, antimutagenic, anticancer, anti-atherosclerotic, and antibacterial effects. Accurate detection and separation of these compounds are of great significance for tea quality control, scientific research, and deep processing.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the "Determination Method of Tea Polyphenols and Catechins in Tea" (GB / T8313-2018), while providing methods for detecting the content of tea polyphenols and catechins in tea, have significant shortcomings in simultaneously detecting and separating four alkaloids and ten catechins in tea. Using this method, many compounds cannot be effectively separated, leading to inaccurate analytical results and failing to meet the needs of tea quality control and scientific research. This limits the accuracy and reliability of tea chemical composition analysis, hindering the further development of the tea industry and in-depth scientific research. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for simultaneously detecting four alkaloids and ten catechin components in tea, in order to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for simultaneously detecting four alkaloids and ten catechin components in tea is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0006] High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to simultaneously detect four alkaloids and ten catechins in tea samples. The contents of these 14 characteristic components in the tea samples were obtained based on the standard curves of the four alkaloids and ten catechins. The chromatographic conditions used were as follows: Agilent Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column, column temperature 30-40℃, mobile phase C 100% acetonitrile, mobile phase D 0.05% phosphoric acid aqueous solution, flow rate 0.9-1.1 mL / min, detection wavelength 275-285 nm. External standard method was used for quantification based on peak area. The elution gradient program was as follows.

[0007] Time (min) Mobile phase C (%) Mobile phase D (%) 0.01 6.5 93.5 30 16 84 34 20 80 39 20 80 40 35 65 45 35 65 50 6.5 93.5 60 Finish Finish

[0009] In some embodiments, the standard curve is obtained by the following method: accurately weigh each standard sample of catechin and alkaloid, place them in a volumetric flask, dissolve and dilute with methanol solution to prepare a standard stock solution with a content of 1 mg / mL for each standard substance, then dilute the standard stock solution with methanol solution to prepare a series of standard solutions with gradient concentrations of 0.0012, 0.002, 0.006, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.2 mg / mL, respectively, and detect them under the above chromatographic conditions to obtain the corresponding spectra, and plot the standard curve with concentration as the abscissa and peak area as the ordinate.

[0010] In some embodiments, a 0.05% phosphoric acid aqueous solution is prepared by transferring 0.50 mL of phosphoric acid, adding water to make up to a volumetric flask of 1000 mL, mixing thoroughly, and setting the pH value to 1.8-2.0.

[0011] In some implementations, the flow rate is 1 mL / min.

[0012] In some implementations, the column temperature is 35°C.

[0013] In some implementations, the detection wavelength is 280 nm.

[0014] In some implementations, the chromatographic column has dimensions of 4.6 × 250 mm and a diameter of 5 μm.

[0015] In some implementations, the injection volume is 10 μL.

[0016] In some embodiments, the tea sample is processed as follows: the tea leaves are ground and added to a 70% methanol solution preheated in a water bath, mixed thoroughly, and immediately transferred to a water bath for extraction. After extraction, the mixture is cooled to room temperature, centrifuged, and the supernatant is collected. The residue after centrifugation is extracted once with a 70% methanol aqueous solution. The above operation is repeated, the extracts are combined, the volume is adjusted, shaken well, and filtered.

[0017] In some embodiments, the tea sample is processed as follows: Weigh 0.2g (accurate to 0.0001g) of uniformly ground tea sample into a 10mL centrifuge tube, add 5mL of 70% methanol solution preheated in a 60-80℃ water bath, mix thoroughly, and immediately transfer to a 60-80℃ water bath for extraction for 8-12min, shaking once every 3-6min. After extraction, cool to room temperature, centrifuge at 3000-4000r / min for 8-12min, and transfer the supernatant to a 10mL volumetric flask; extract the residue once with 5mL of 70% methanol aqueous solution, repeat the above operation, combine the extracts and make up to 10mL, shake well, and filter through a 0.45μm filter membrane.

[0018] In some embodiments, the tea sample is processed as follows: Weigh 0.2 g (accurate to 0.0001 g) of uniformly ground tea sample into a 10 mL centrifuge tube, add 5 mL of 70% methanol solution preheated in a 70°C water bath, mix thoroughly, and immediately transfer to a 70°C water bath for extraction for 10 min, shaking once every 5 min. After extraction, cool to room temperature, centrifuge at 3500 r / min for 10 min, and transfer the supernatant to a 10 mL volumetric flask; extract the residue once with 5 mL of 70% methanol aqueous solution, repeat the above operation, combine the extracts and make up to 10 mL, shake well, and filter through a 0.45 μm filter membrane.

[0019] The detection method provided by this invention can simultaneously detect and separate four alkaloids and ten catechins, which solves the problem of poor separation effect when analyzing multiple compounds in tea at the same time in the prior art. It meets the high standard requirements for tea component analysis and provides a more efficient, accurate and reliable analytical tool for tea producers, testing institutions and researchers, and provides strong support for tea quality control, scientific research and deep processing.

[0032] Standard curve preparation: Accurately weigh 10 mg of each catechin and alkaloid standard sample, place them in volumetric flasks, dissolve them in methanol solution, and dilute to 10 mL to prepare a 1 mg / mL standard stock solution. Then, dilute the stock solution with methanol solution to prepare a series of standard solutions with gradient concentrations of 0.0012, 0.002, 0.006, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.2 mg / mL. Plot a standard curve. Quantify each compound using the standard curve. The results are shown in Table 1 and [Table data would be inserted here]. Figure 9-22 As shown.

[0047] Repeatability test: Take three portions of the same sample, inject and analyze them separately, record the peak areas of the four alkaloids and ten catechins, and calculate the contents of the four alkaloids and ten catechins in the sample using the standard curve method.

[0048] Precision test: Take 10 μL of sample solution and inject the sample 4 times consecutively to determine the peak area of ​​4 alkaloids and 10 catechins.

[0049] Stability test: Sample solutions were injected and analyzed at 0h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h and 24h after preparation. The peak areas of the four alkaloids and ten catechins were recorded to test the stability of the samples.

[0050] The results are shown in Table 3. The results show that the relative standard deviation (RSD) values ​​of each component ranged from 0.508% to 2.603%, indicating that the method has excellent repeatability under optimal gradient elution conditions. Precision experiments showed that the RSD values ​​of each component ranged from 0.581% to 3.190%, indicating good precision of the method. Stability experiments showed that the RSD values ​​of each component ranged from 0.544% to 2.659%, indicating good stability of the method.
