Abstract:

A normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was established to determine
phosphatidylcholine monohydroperoxide (PC-OOH) in dry cured meat products. The PC-OOH in dry cured meat samples
was extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, V/V), followed by determination by normal-phase HPLC connected to a
photo-diode array detector (HPLC-PAD) with synthetic C16:0/18:2 PC-OOH as the standard. The chromatographic conditions
were established using a Lichrosorb Si60 column (250 mm × 4.0 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase consisting of water and
n-hexane/isopropanol (3:2, V/V) in gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at
234 nm. Results indicated that the linearity ranged from 20 to 600 nmol/mL (R2 = 0.999 9), and the limits of detection (LOD)
and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 5.8 nmol/mL and 19.4 nmol/mL, respectively. The recoveries from spiked samples
at concentration levels of 32–240 nmol/g were in the range of 79.4%–91.9%. The contents of PC-OOH in farm-made sausage
A, B and Chinese ham samples were 92.4, 106.4 and 102.5 nmol/g, respectively, while PC-OOH in smoked meat was not
detected. This method proved to be of high maneuverability, excellent sensitivity and high accuracy, and could be used for
quantitative analysis of PC-OOH in dry cured meat samples.
