Abstract

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of 12 flavonol glycosides in buckwheat, black tea, and wild parsley using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with a simple liquid extraction method using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was validated in precision, accuracy, and linearity. The UHPLC separation of target compounds was performed on a C18 column using a photodiode array (PDA) detector and the wavelength was fixed at 350 nm. The recovery values for flavonol glycosides ranged from 85.44 to 108.79%. The limits of detection and limits of quantification were less than 0.32 mg/kg and less than 0.97 mg/kg, respectively. The intraday and interday precisions were less than 13.69% for all the test samples. This method coupled with UHPLCPDA detection could be expected to provide more convenient sample preparation than conventional methods in the tested foods.
