Abstract: Four purine bases were separated by reversed-phase ion pair chromatography. The optimized conditions were: 254 nm by UV detector with water: methyl alcohol :acetic actd: tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (883.5:100:15:1.5 respectively) as mobile phase and flow rate at 1ml/min. The average recoveries of four purine bases was 91.2%~100.3%, with the accuracy of the method as RSD of all four purine bases around 1.41%~2.42%. Purine compounds in beer were pre-hydrolyzed to purines by perchlorate acid, with the optimal conditions as beer: perchlorate acid (1:2) for 30min at 100℃.
