ABSTRACT
Phenolic compounds from rapeseed were extracted into 80% (v/v) methanol. The crude extract was then separated using size exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (SE-HPLC) on a TSK G2000SWXL column with a mobile phase of 45% acetonitrile and 0.1% TFA (v/v). Six peaks were identified on the chromatogram: the main peak originated from sinapin. Calibration of the assay was characterised by an excellent linearity of the sinapin standard (r2 = 1.0). The method so described can be used for screening phenolic constituents in rapeseed or canola. It is also useful for the purification of the sinapin as a standard from the crude extract.
