文摘

In this work, ergosterol and ergocalciferol were identified for the first time in hop. In addition, in this article, a simple and reliable analytical methodology for analysis of these compounds in different commercial forms of hop is presented. The performance of the method was assessed by the evaluation of parameters such as absolute recovery (higher than 70%), repeatability (lower than 3 %), linearity (r² > 0.9988) and limits of detection (ranging from 0.034 for ergocalciferol to 0.058 mg/L for ergosterol) and quantification (ranging from 0.113 for ergocalciferol to 0.195 mg/L for ergosterol). On the basis of standard additions applied with the optimized procedure and high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection, it appears that the Nugget hop plant (crop 2006) contains 1.84 ± 0.09 µg/g of ergosterol and 1.95 ± 0.05 µg/g of ergocalciferol. The identity of the compounds was confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the positive ion mode. The presence of ergosterol here reported should have great potential for the assessment of hop as related to the fungal contamination proportion and hence the quality of this raw material.
