Abstract
An effective two-dimensional liquid chromatography method has been established for the analysis of all-trans-astaxanthin and its geometric isomers from Phaffia rhodozyma employing a C18 column at the first dimension and a C30 column in the second dimension, connected by a 10-port valve using the photo-diode array detector. The regression equation of astaxanthin calibration curve was established, and the precision and accuracy values were found to be in the range of 0.32–1.14% and 98.21–106.13%, respectively. By using two-dimensional liquid chromatography, it was found that day light, ultrasonic treatment, and heat treatment have significant influence on the content of all-trans-astaxanthin in the extract from P. rhodozyma due to the transformation of all-trans-astaxanthin to cis-astaxanthin. The day light and ultrasonic treatments more likely transform all-trans-astaxanthin to 9-cis-astaxanthin, and the thermal treatment transforms all-trans-astaxanthin to 13-cis-astaxanthin. These results indicate that the two-dimensional liquid chromatography method can facilitate monitoring astaxanthin isomerization in the raw extract from P. rhodozyma. In addition, the study will provide a general reference for monitoring other medicals and bioactive chemicals with geometric isomers.
