Sop For Vitamin K3

This document describes a method for quantitatively determining total Vitamin K3 content in samples containing Vitamin K3 as the active component. The method involves separating the sample on HPLC using a UV detector. The sample is prepared using proteinases, ammonia solution, ethanol and SPE. HPLC is performed using a Waters Atlantis dC18 column with methanol-water as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min and detection at 265 nm. The method is based on a reference that describes determining five fat-soluble vitamins in feed using HPLC and SPE.

5. Sample Preparation

Firstly, the feed sample (0.1 g vitamin additive, 1–2 g multivitamin, 5 g premix, and 10 g complete feed), was
weighed in a 100-mL volumetric amber flask, and the Savinase proteinases (approximately 100 mg, 200 mg, 500
mg, and 1 g corresponding to the different samples) were added. In order to release vitamins easily, 10 mL of freshly
prepared 0.2% ammonia solution was added to the flask. The mixture was shaken in an ultrasonic bath at 40–50°C
for 20–30 min. Then approximately 65 mL of ethanol was added to extract the free vitamins. The solution was
allowed to cool to room temperature in the dark, and the solution volume was made up to 100 mL by the addition of
ethanol. The mixture was shaken vigorously for 1 min and was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min. Finally, the
supernatant was cleaned with SPE as follows.

A 1 mL aliquot of the supernatant was decanted into a 5 mL tube and evaporated to near dryness in a water bath at
55°C, under a stream of nitrogen. The extract was reconstituted in 1 mL of 65% ethanol–water solution (ethanol–
water, v/v), then the solution was purified by the Oasis HLB cartridge according to the optimal process of SPE.
Firstly, the OASIS HLB column was preconditioned by passing through 1 mL of methanol, followed by 1 mL of
double-deonized water. Secondly, 1 mL of the extract solution was slowly passed through the OASIS HLB column
at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. After washing with 1 mL of 5% methanol, the analyte was eluted with 1 mL of ethanol .

5.1 Standard preparation

Stock standard solution (1 mg/mL) was prepared separately by dissolving 10 mg of individual vitamin in 10 mL of
methanol and stored in darkness at 4°C. Working standard solutions were prepared daily by methanol dilution of the
stock standard solutions in appropriate proportions into the concentrations of 5 µg/mL for K3.
6. HPLC condition:

The chromatographic conditions were chosen in terms of peak shape, column efficiency, retention time, resolution,
and sensitivity. For the separation of the fat-soluble vitamins, a Waters Atlantis dC18 column (particle diameter 5
µm, 150 × 4.6 mm i.d.) with a matching guard cartridge was used. The mobile phase was methanol–water (98:2,
v/v). The mobile phase flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, and the injection volume was 10 µL. The column oven
temperature was 35°C. Detection with a UV–vis detector was carried out at 265 nm for K3.
