Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Analysis of Polyphenols in Red Wine Using Nexera-e Coupled with SPD-M30A

Introduction

Phenolic compounds are created as secondary metabolites in plants. In many cases, their structures contain multiple aromatic rings and a hydroxyl group. These polyphenols are known to display antioxidant effects, and are said to be effective in preventing arteriosclerosis and cerebral infarction. Red wine is known to contain large amounts of polyphenols, including flavonoids and phenolic acids, and in recent years has attracted considerable attention due to the health benefits associated with these substances. Regarding the analysis of polyphenols in red wine, separation and quantitation of these polyphenols by simultaneous analysis using HPLC is difficult due to the presence of many coexisting substances. The Nexera-e comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatograph can be very effective for such an analysis.
