Description

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combined detection method for anthocyanin in tea
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of quality detection, and particularly relates to a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combined detection method for anthocyanin in tea.
Background
Anthocyanin is a common natural plant water-soluble pigment, belongs to flavonoid compounds, and is red or purple in an acidic environment and blue in an alkaline environment, so that plants such as fruits, vegetables and flowers can be provided with colorful colors, and the color depth is proportional to the content of anthocyanin. As a natural edible pigment, the anthocyanin has rich content, no toxicity, safety and high nutritive value and pharmacological action, and can be used for preventing and treating partial diseases. Since tea leaf anthocyanin has a bitter taste, and tea prepared from purple bud leaves rich in anthocyanin has poor quality, the previous researches have been mostly biased to reduce anthocyanin accumulation. However, along with the change of market demands, the tea with high anthocyanin content is valued by virtue of the unique quality characteristics and character characteristics, and the development of tea products rich in anthocyanin becomes a current hot spot.
With the recent progress of scientific research, various methods for quantitative analysis of anthocyanin have been reported, among which the most widely used methods include spectrophotometry, HPLC method and HPLC-MS/MS method. The spectrophotometry can be used for detecting the total amount of the anthocyanin, the HPLC method is suitable for analyzing different anthocyanin in a sample, and the HPLC-MS/MS can not only quantitatively detect the anthocyanin, but also identify the type of the anthocyanin. However, many studies on anthocyanin content detection have focused on plants with a high anthocyanin content, such as blueberry, purple sweet potato and black matrimony vine, which are well known. Anthocyanin is also an important substance in tea, and 80% of tea contains anthocyanin, especially purple bud leaves which are studied more in recent years, and the anthocyanin content of the purple bud leaves accounts for 0.5% -1.0% of dry substance. Therefore, the HPLC-MS/MS method is also of great significance in detecting the anthocyanin content in the tea.

Example 1 optimization of sample pretreatment conditions
1. Optimization of feed-liquid ratio
To examine the effect of feed-to-liquid ratio on extraction rate, tea leaves were extracted at ratios (g: mL) of 1:25, 1:50, 1:75, 1:100, 1:125, respectively, of tea leaves to acidified ethanol solution (ethanol: hydrochloric acid: water=2:1:1), each group was assayed 3 times in parallel. The response values (peak areas) of anthocyanin in the liquid to be tested under the condition of each liquid-to-liquid ratio are shown in figure 1. As shown in fig. 1, with increasing of the extraction solution ratio, the extraction efficiency is gradually increased, the extraction rate is highest under the condition of a feed-liquid ratio of 1:100, and the extraction efficiency is not obviously improved again by increasing the solution ratio, so the feed-liquid ratio is selected to be 1:100.
2. Optimization of extraction solvent species
To examine the effect of the extraction solvent type on the extraction yield, tea leaves were extracted with acidified ethanol solution (ethanol: hydrochloric acid: water=2:1:1), acidified methanol solution (methanol: hydrochloric acid: water=2:1:1), acidified acetonitrile solution (acetonitrile: hydrochloric acid: water=2:1:1), and acidified aqueous solution (hydrochloric acid: water=1:3) as extraction solvents, respectively, and each group was assayed 3 times in parallel. The response values (peak areas) of anthocyanin in the liquid to be tested under each extraction solvent are shown in figure 2. As can be seen from fig. 2, the extraction efficiency is highest when the acidified ethanol solution (ethanol: hydrochloric acid: water=2:1:1) is used as the extraction solvent, and thus the extraction solvent is selected as the acidified ethanol solution (ethanol: hydrochloric acid: water=2:1:1).
3. Optimization of hydrochloric acid concentration
To examine the effect of the hydrochloric acid concentration in the extraction solvent on the extraction yield, tea leaves were extracted with aqueous ethanol solutions (ethanol: water=2:1) having hydrochloric acid concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 5.0%, 8.0%, 10.0%, 20.0%, 25.0%, 30.0% as the extraction solvents, respectively, and each group was measured 3 times in parallel. The response values (peak areas) of anthocyanin in the test solution under each hydrochloric acid concentration are shown in figure 3. As can be seen from fig. 3, the extraction efficiency was improved to a different extent with an increase in the hydrochloric acid concentration, and the extraction efficiency was high for each sample at the hydrochloric acid concentrations of 25% and 30%. Considering that the too high acid concentration is harmful to the mass spectrometer, the hydrochloric acid concentration is not increased any more. Among the 6 test substances, the content of paeoniflorin and malvidin is relatively low, and the hydrochloric acid concentration with high extraction rate of paeoniflorin and malvidin should be preferentially considered, and when the hydrochloric acid concentration is 25%, the extraction rate of paeoniflorin and malvidin is relatively high, so that the hydrochloric acid concentration is 25%.
4. Optimization of ultrasound time
To examine the effect of the ultrasonic time on the extraction rate, the tea leaves were extracted at ultrasonic times of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60min, respectively, and each group was measured 3 times in parallel. The response value (peak area) of anthocyanin in the liquid to be tested under each ultrasonic time condition is shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, the extraction efficiency is highest when the ultrasonic time is 50min, and thus the ultrasonic time is selected to be 50min.
5. Optimization of the Water bath time
To examine the effect of the water bath time on the extraction rate, the tea leaves were extracted at water bath times of 30, 45, 60, 75, 90min, respectively, and each group was measured 3 times in parallel. The response values (peak areas) of anthocyanin in the liquid to be tested under the water bath time conditions are shown in figure 5. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the extraction efficiency of each analyte was high at the water bath times of 75 and 90 minutes. Among the 6 samples, the content of paeoniflorin and malvidin is relatively low, the water bath time with high extraction rate of paeoniflorin and malvidin should be considered preferentially, and the extraction rate of paeoniflorin and malvidin is relatively high when the water bath time is 75min. The water bath time was therefore chosen to be 75min.
Example 2 optimization of liquid chromatography conditions
1. Selection of chromatographic columns
Because the anthocyanin is stable under the condition that the pH is less than 3, a low-pH-resistant chromatographic column is selected for ensuring the stability of the column effect of the chromatographic column, and the separation effect of 2 types of specification chromatographic columns on anthocyanin substances is totally examined aiming at the structural characteristics of the existing chromatographic column and anthocyanin substances, wherein the types and the specifications of the chromatographic columns are shown in table 4. The total ion flow diagram (TIC diagram) of the standard solution of the anthocyanin class substances separated by the different types of chromatographic columns is shown in fig. 6, wherein 1: delphinium pigment; 2: cyanidin; 3: morning glory pigment; 4: pelargonidin; 5: paeoniflorin; 6: malvidin. As can be seen from fig. 6: the separation effect and peak shape of Agilent Poroshell EC-C18 type chromatographic column are obviously better than those of XSELECTM HSS T3 type chromatographic column, and Agilent Poroshell EC-C18 (2.1 mm multiplied by 100mm,2.7 μm) type chromatographic column is selected as the detection chromatographic column by the method after comprehensive consideration.
TABLE 4 model, specification and TIC diagram of chromatography column for separating anthocyanin substances
2. Optimization of mobile phase species
After the chromatographic column was selected, the effect of 8 different mobile phase systems on anthocyanin class response and separation was examined with mixed standard working solutions as shown in table 5 and fig. 7. As can be seen from FIG. 7, the anthocyanin substances have early peak time and poor separation condition under the acetonitrile system; the higher the acidity of the aqueous phase is, the better the peak separation condition and peak shape are, and the highest concentration of the formic acid water is set to be 1% in consideration of the acid resistance of the chromatographic column; after salt is added into the water phase, the difference of peak appearance, peak shape and the like is small compared with that of the water phase without salt, so that 1% of formic acid water is directly selected as the water phase. In general, the separation condition, peak shape and response of each object to be detected under the 1% formic acid water-methanol system are better than those of other mobile phase systems, so that the 1% formic acid water-methanol system is selected as the mobile phase type of the method.
Table 5 8 different mobile phase types
Note that: the ion response is low in the positive ion mode when the used instrument collects the positive and negative ion modes at the same time, so that the positive and negative ion mode scanning is respectively carried out on 8 mobile phase systems.
3. Optimization of chromatographic column temperature
The influence of the chromatographic column temperature on the separation degree and the response of the to-be-detected object is different, and the influence of the chromatographic column on the separation and the response of anthocyanin substances at the temperature of 35 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃ and 50 ℃ is examined respectively, as shown in fig. 8, wherein 1: delphinium pigment; 2: cyanidin; 3: morning glory pigment; 4: pelargonidin; 5: paeoniflorin; 6: malvidin; A. b, C, D the column temperature was 35 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃ and 50 ℃, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 8, as the temperature of the chromatographic column increases, the peak time of the analyte becomes faster, but the separation between the analytes is not affected; the effect of the chromatographic column on the response of the test substance is not particularly great. In order to improve analysis efficiency as much as possible, reduce column pressure of the chromatographic column, prolong service life of the chromatographic column, and comprehensively consider that the temperature of the chromatographic column is 40 ℃.
4. Optimization of mobile phase gradients
To ensure good separation and response of the anthocyanidins, different initial mobile phase ratios were examined, as shown in table 6, the effect on anthocyanin retention time, separation effect and response was shown, and the results are shown in fig. 9. As can be seen from table 6 and fig. 9, under the condition of low-proportion organic isocratic elution, the peak time of the object to be detected is late and the peak width is wider; under the condition of high-proportion organic isocratic elution, the object to be detected has fast peak and poor peak separation condition; the gradient elution is carried out, and the peak time and the separation condition of each object to be detected can be effectively changed by changing the initial proportion of the organic phase and the increasing rate of the organic phase; number 4 was chosen as the mobile phase gradient elution procedure after comprehensive consideration.
TABLE 6 gradient elution procedure
Example 3 optimization of Mass Spectrometry conditions
Preparing a single standard working solution of 6 anthocyanin types by using a 10% hydrochloric acid methanol solution, wherein the concentration is 500 mug/L, and performing primary mass spectrum scanning on the working solution in ESI positive ion and negative ion modes respectively to obtain parent ions of an object to be detected. The anthocyanin substance is found to respond well in the positive ion mode. And then optimizing to obtain the optimal fragmentation voltage of the primary mass spectrum of each anthocyanin substance, performing secondary mass spectrum analysis on the molecular ion peak of each anthocyanin substance to obtain fragment ion information, and finally optimizing to obtain the optimal collision voltage of the secondary mass spectrum of each anthocyanin substance. The MRM information of the optimized anthocyanin substances is shown in Table 2.
Meanwhile, the influence of the temperature of the drying gas, the flow rate of the drying gas, the pressure of the atomizing gas and the voltage of the ion spray on the response (peak area) of anthocyanin substances is examined in the recommended setting range of instrument parameters, and the results are shown in tables 7-10. It can be seen from the table that under all experimental conditions, the optimal response conditions of the drying gas temperature, the atomizing gas pressure and the ion spray voltage of all the objects to be tested are respectively concentrated at 350 ℃, 50psi and 2000V, and only the optimal response conditions of all the objects of the drying gas flow rate parameters are uniformly distributed in two conditions of 10L/min and 11L/min, and the ion source parameters with higher response values of the delphinium pigment and the mallow pigment are preferentially selected because the response values of the delphinium pigment and the mallow pigment are relatively lower. After comprehensively comparing the response values of the parameters, the final mass spectrum ion source condition is determined as the drying gas temperature of 350 ℃, the drying gas flow rate of 11L/min, the atomization air pressure of 50psi and the ion spray voltage of 2000V.

1. Linearity and sensitivity of the method
The standard working curve obtained in the general material and method shows that each target has good linear relationship within the range of 25-2500 mug/L, and the correlation coefficient R is more than 0.99. In order to examine the sensitivity of the method, the concentration with the signal to noise ratio S/N more than or equal to 3 is taken as the detection limit concentration, and the concentration with the signal to noise ratio S/N more than or equal to 10 is taken as the quantitative limit concentration, and specific results are shown in Table 11. As can be seen from Table 11, the method for measuring anthocyanin substances has good sensitivity, and can well meet the measurement requirements of 6 anthocyanin substances in tea.

The table shows that the average recovery rate of anthocyanin substances in the tea is 91.95% -106.99%, and the RSD is less than 10%, so that the requirements of the related standard on the recovery rate and precision of the method are met, and the method can accurately detect the content of anthocyanin substances in the tea.
Because the method has lower detection limit, according to the comprehensive consideration of the content of the sample and the linear range of the anthocyanin on the instrument, the sample needs to be diluted 100 times when the sample is detected for three anthocyanin substances with higher content in the tea, and meanwhile, the matrix effect can be reduced by a dilution method, and the matrix effect is indeed overcome by the marked recovery result, so that the matrix effect of the sample does not need to be specially optimized.
