Abstract

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is commonly used to analyze many food components. This laboratory exercise includes two HPLC analyses: (a) determine caffeine content of soft drinks by reversed-phase HPLC with an isocratic mobile phase and ultraviolet detection, and (b) isolate (by solid-phase extraction) and quantify anthocyanidins from fruits and vegetables by reversed-phase HPLC with gradient elution and visible detection.
