Abstract: High performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector(HPLC-UV), high performance liquid chromatography-differential refractive index detector(HPLC-RI) and high performance liquid chromatography- evaporative light scattering detector(HPLC-ELSD) were compared to measure the content of monoglycerides in emulsions.When using UV detector, the result was seriously influenced by impurities, the signal of the samples was weak and the sensitivity was low. RI detector could had a good linear relationship only in the higher concentration range, so it was not suitable for measuring low content of monoglycerides. When using ELSD detector, the linear range of monoglycerides were between 0.040~5.000 mg/mL. The correlation coefficient of ELSD was 0.9998 , the recovery rate of monoglycerides reached 92.94%, the standard deviations was 2.24 and the variation coefficients was 2.41%. HPLC-ELSD method was sensitive, accurate and reproducible and may therefore be applicable for the determination of monoglycerides in emulsions .

Key words: monoglyceride, content determination, HPLC-UV, HPLC-RI, HPLC-ELSD
