In our study, a simple and sensitive method was proposed for determination of vitamins B group in leaves of Suaeda aegyptiaca and Suaeda Vera (Halophytes) by HPLC-DAD with solid-phase extraction (SPE) as the preconcentration step. The variables affecting the extraction and determination conditions were investigated and optimized. A preconcentration step based on SPE is necessary to remove interfering components. The limit of detection obtained was <5 mg kg(-1), the relative standard deviation (RSD) was <4%, and the recovery was in the range of 91-102%. The linear correlation coefficient was 0.999. The method was successfully applied to determine group B vitamins in the halophyte samples. As a whole, these findings may confirm the interesting potential of this halophyte as a valuable source of natural bioactive molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
