Development and Evaluation of Simultaneous Quantification of Naringin, Prunin, Naringenin, and Limonin in Citrus Juice

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Quantification of limonin, naringin, prunin, and naringenin is an important approach for monitoring of debittering processes of citrus products. Naringin and limonin have different polarity and solubility values, causing difficulty in simultaneous extraction and quantification. A procedure combining HPLC and solid-phase extraction was developed to simultaneously quantify these analytes in citrus juice. Analytes exhibited calibration curves of good linearity along with low limit of detection and limit of quantification values. Naringin, prunin, naringenin, and limonin exhibited respective recovery values of 92.2-100.6, 92.0-97.3, 98.1-102.2, and 102.4-103.9%, respectively.
Relative standard deviations were lower than 5%. For analysis of naringin, prunin, naringenin, and limonin in citrus juices, the simultaneous method displayed analytical results identical to traditional respective quantification methods. The simultaneous method is highly effective for monitoring naringin, prunin, naringenin, and limonin levels in citrus juice.
