Reverse phase HPLC method for detection and quantification of lupin seed γ-conglutin.

A simple, selective and accurate reverse phase HPLC method was developed for detection and quantitation of γ-conglutin from lupin seed extract. A linear gradient of water and acetonitrile containing trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) on a reverse phase column (Agilent Zorbax 300SB C-18), with a flow rate of 0.8ml/min was able to produce a sharp and symmetric peak of γ-conglutin with a retention time at 29.
