A muti-analytical method for determining 10 organic acids in fruit juice and nectar by ion chromatograph (IC) was developed. The separation was conducted on an anion exchange column with the eluent composed of deionized water and methanol, and detection was carried out by a conductivity detector. Lactic acid, acetic acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, and citric acid were well separated within 45 minutes. Tartaric acid was analyzed using another column. The recoveries, repeatability and limits of quantification were evaluated by spiking 10 organic acid standards into the blank matrix. The linear ranges were 2.5-5 mg/L for lactic acid and acetic acid, 10-100 mg/L for adipic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid and citric acid, and 20-50 mg/L for tartaric acid, with all linear correlation coefficients (r) exceeding 0.99. The average recoveries of 10 organic acids were between 81.9 and 112.4%, and the coefficients of variation were between 2.4 and 10.3%. The limits of quantification for lactic acid and acetic acid were 12.5 mg/kg, those for adipic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid and citric acid were 50 mg/kg, and that for tartaric acid was 100 mg/kg. This method was further applied to 8 commercial samples. The results showed that lactic acid, acetic acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid and tartaric acid were detected in some samples without matrix interference. However, adipic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, and fumaric acid were not detected in any of the samples. |
