Abstract
In this study, we developed a column-switching high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection for the analysis of vitamin K. Column-switching is accomplished by changing the direction of flow using a switching valve with a set time program. Using this method, three vitamin K, phylloquinone (PK), menaquinone-4 (MK-4), and menaquinone-7 (MK-7), were separated and identified with high sensitivity, and impurities were eliminated. This method was used to determine the vitamin K content in meat, fish meat, snails, bivalves, sea urchins, seaweeds, vegetables, tea, soy products, milk products, and supplements. The results showed that chicken showed the highest content of MK-4 (15.35 ± 0.35 μg/100 g), matcha showed the highest content of PK (3069.66±80.10 μg/100 g), and dried natto showed the highest content of MK-7 (3997.57±79.42 μg/100 g). This method can also be used to analyze vitamin K in supplements and pharmaceuticals. The results of this study revealed that different manufacturers add different types of vitamin K to their commercial supplements and infant formulas. The developed method provides highly reproducible and quantitative results and allows for the rapid analysis of the three vitamin K types. Thus, the method developed in this study may aid the sequential analysis of vitamin K in different samples to assess food nutrients.
期刊介绍:
Food Analytical Methods publishes original articles, review articles, and notes on novel and/or state-of-the-art analytical methods or issues to be solved, as well as significant improvements or interesting applications to existing methods. These include analytical technology and methodology for food microbial contaminants, food chemistry and toxicology, food quality, food authenticity and food traceability. The journal covers fundamental and specific aspects of the development, optimization, and practical implementation in routine laboratories, and validation of food analytical methods for the monitoring of food safety and quality.
