Anthocyanins, which confer the characteristic color to red wine, can be used as markers to classify wines according to the grape variety. It is a complex separation that requires very high chromatographic efficiency, especially in the case of aged red wines, due to the formation of pyranoanthocyanins. A coelution between these kinds of compounds can affect the Rac/coum ratio of aged wines, and might lead to false results when classifying the wine variety. In 2007, the use of a novel mixed-mode ion-exchange reversed-phase column was reported to separate anthocyanins extracted from grapes of Vitis labrusca with different selectivity than C-18 columns. In the present work, the separation of anthocyanins including pyranoanthocyanins in young and aged Cabernet Sauvignon wines and other varieties is evaluated. The most interesting contributions of this research are the different elution order and selectivity obtained for anthocyanins and pyranoanthocyanins (only formed in wine), compared with those observed in C-18 stationary phases. Also interesting is the separation of the polymeric fraction, which elutes as a clearly separated peak at the chromatogram's end. However, a comparison with a high efficiency C-18 column with the same dimensions and particle size demonstrated that the tested mixed-mode column shows broader peaks with a theoretical plate number below 8000, for malvidin-3-glucoside peak, while it can be up to 10 times higher for a high efficiency C-18 column, depending on the column manufacturer. Under the tested conditions, in mixed-mode phase, the analysis time is almost twice that of a C-18 column with the same dimensions and particle size. A mixed-mode phase with increased efficiency should provide an interesting perspective for separation of anthocyanins in wine, due to its improved selectivity, combined with a useful role in a second-dimension separation in preparative anthocyanin chromatography.
