Simultaneous determination by capillary gas chromatography of organic acids, sugars, and sugar alcohols in plant tissue extracts as their trimethylsilyl derivatives.

A capillary gas chromatographic (GC) method for the simultaneous determination of organic acids, sugars, and sugar alcohols extracted from plant tissues is described. Plant leaves were extracted in 5% (w/v) perchloric acid and neutralized extracts were purified using C18 cartridges. Organic acids, sugars, and sugar alcohols in purified extracts were converted to their trimethylsilyl (TMS)/TMS-oxime derivatives prior to separation and detection by capillary GC with flame ionization detection (FID). Derivatization procedures were investigated in detail and the compounds of interest were readily converted to their TMS/TMS-oxime derivatives using hexamethyldisiazane reagent in acetonitrile solvent (1:6 v/v) at 100 degreesC for 60 min. The derivatives were sufficiently volatile and stable. The FID response to derivatized compounds was generally linear in the concentration range 30-300 microg ml-1, with detection limits in the order of 3-76 ng. The proposed method was demonstrated for the determination of organic acids, sugars, and sugar alcohols in leaf extracts of two native Australian plants.[1]
