Abstract
A rapid method for the extraction, separation and quantification of the 4-hexylresorcinol from shrimp with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. This modified method is faster than previously described methods with short pre–preparation and sharp reso-lution in HPLC procedures (sample preparation, extraction, separation and quantification total 40 min.). The coefficients of determinations (r2) measured for 4-hexylresorcinol were obtained over 0,999 in each curve. The confidence interval of the recovery working range of 1.5–2.5 mg/kg was approximately 95%. Limits of detection and quantitation were determined as 0.04 and 0.06 mg/kg for shrimp.
