Studies of TLC-Chromatographic Quantification of Astaxanthin in Dietary Supplements and Its Antioxidant Activity
Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid pigment known for its strong antioxidant and immune-supporting properties, which are higher than other carotenoids. The aim of this study was the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of dietary supplements containing astaxanthin. First, optimal conditions for conducting analyses using the TLC technique with densitometric detection were developed. The mobile phase consisting of methanol: ethyl acetate: 1,4-dioxane (1:3:6 v/v/v) was selected, while the stationary phase consisted of Silica gel 60 F254. Densitometric detection was performed at 460 nm. Next, the validation process of the developed method was carried out according to the guidelines of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). The range of linearity tested was 0.0026–0.0100 µg/spot, and the determined LOD and LOQ values were 0.85 and 2.57 ng/μL, respectively. The variation coefficient at the level of 4.75% proves good precision. The percentage of recovery was in the range of 95.25–104.94%. The obtained results confirmed the good accuracy of the method. Subsequently, quantitative analyses of the preparations were carried out. Analysis of dietary supplements showed significant deviations from the declared astaxanthin content. Astaxanthin solutions were stable in alkaline environments and when exposed to light and oxidizing substances; however, the substance degraded in acidic environments. The performed antioxidant capacity tests confirmed the high antioxidant activity of astaxanthin.
