Abstract

Vitamin B deficiency may lead to serious health issues in both infants and adults. A simple analytical method involving sample pretreatment with enzyme, followed by cyanide addition under acidic conditions; separation on an immunoaffinity column; and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for the rapid detection and quantitation of vitamin B in powdered milk. Detection limit and powdered milk recovery were determined by quantitative analysis. The limits of detection and quantitation were 2.71 and 8.21 μg/L, respectively. Relative standard deviations of the intra-day and inter-day precisions varied in the ranges of 0.98%-5.31% and 2.16%-3.90%, respectively. Recovery of the analysis varied in the range of 83.41%-106.57%, suggesting that the values were acceptable. Additionally, vitamin B content and recovery in SRM 1849a were 54.10 μg/kg and 112.24%, respectively. Our results suggested that the analytical method, including the sample pretreatment step, was valid. This analytical method can be implemented in many laboratory-scale experiments that seek to save time and labor. Therefore, this study shows that immunoaffinity-HPLC/ultraviolet is an acceptable technique for constructing a reliable database on vitamin B in powdered milk containing starch as well as protein and/or fat in high amounts.
