Abstract

In this study, a simultaneous analytical method of tocols, γ-oryzanols, phytosterols, squalene, cholecalciferol and phylloquinone were developed using HPLC-DAD-FLD. The developed method allowed the quantification of 18 compounds in 30 min. Method validation showed linearity of calibration curves (α = 0.05). RSD of intra-day, inter-day and inter-laboratory precision were less than 4.88%. The limit of detections (LODs) and limit of quantifications (LOQs) were low (0.009-2.166 μg g-1) with recoveries around 96.0-102.9%. Results derived from the established method demonstrated a wide variation of detected compounds in rice bran and vegetable oil samples (22.4-1774.6 μg g-1 tocols, ND-26484 μg g-1 γ-oryzanols, ND-12655 μg g-1 phytosterols, ND-3189 μg g-1 squalene, ND-105.3 μg g-1 cholecalciferol, and ND-54.4 μg g-1 phylloquinone). Thus, the developed HPLC-DAD-FLD method is a powerful analytical tool for the above mentioned compounds useful in food and pharmaceutical application.
