A Fast and Simple Solid Phase Extraction-Based Method for Glucosinolate Determination: An Alternative to the ISO-9167 Method

Glucosinolates (GLSs) are a well-studied sulfur-containing compound found in <i>Brassicaceae</i> plants that play critical roles in plant resistance and human health. Correctly identifying and reliably quantifying the total and individual GLS content is of great importance. An improved m...

description Glucosinolates (GLSs) are a well-studied sulfur-containing compound found in <i>Brassicaceae</i> plants that play critical roles in plant resistance and human health. Correctly identifying and reliably quantifying the total and individual GLS content is of great importance. An improved method as an alternative to the ISO 9167-1 (ISO) method is developed in the present study. An efficient extraction and purification procedure is proposed with a commercially available dimethylaminopropyl (DEA)-based weak anion exchange solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge instead of using the self-prepared ion-exchange columns in the ISO method. The GLSs are identified and quantified by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The method demonstrates a comparable quantification of total and individual GLSs on certified rapeseeds and other <i>Brassicaceae</i> vegetables when compared to the ISO method. The developed SPE method is simpler and more efficient, thus allowing for applications to a large sample size with reduced analysis time, improved repeatability and accuracy, and possible automation.
