Abstract:

A high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with on-line removal of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) model was established for the rapid screening and identification of antioxidant active ingredients in peony flowers. Waters X-Bridge C18 chromatographic column was used with acetonitrile-water (0.1% formic acid) as the mobile phase. The peony flower samples were analyzed using electrospray positive and negative ion modes. The samples separated using HPLC were mixed with free-radical solution, and the mixture was entered into HPLC-Q-TOF-MS for rapid identification. In total, 15 ingredients and 5 antioxidant compounds were identified in the negative ion mode. This method is a simple method for rapid screening and identification of antioxidant compounds in a complex system of natural products. Furthermore, it can also provide scientific basis for further studies on peony flower.

Key words: peony flower, antioxidant activity, on-line screening, HPLC-Q-TOF-MS
