Successful extraction of dyes was achieved using dimethylformamide as eluent, neutral alumina as adsorbent and sample:adsorbent ratio of 1:5 (m/m).

Resveratrol, flavonoids (quercetin and kaempferol), and phenolic acids (caffeic, p-coumaric, and trans-ferulic acids) were used as model compounds based on their concentrations reported in craft beers. SALLE with acetonitrile was effective for sample cleanup, with recoveries ranging from 84% to 112%. The on-column concentration was carried out in high performance liquid chromatography by starting the gradient elution with acidified water (sample carrier stream) in a reversed-phase mode. Consequently, the analytes were retained in a narrow band, and highly polar/ionic potentially interfering species were flushed from the column. The effectiveness of the approach was demonstrated by linear correlations between the peak areas and the injected volumes from 10 to 200 µL (r ≥ 0.999), without significant variations in peak width (< 10%) or retention times (< 0.7%), and peak symmetry (tailing factors within the range of 0.8–1.1).
