Uv-Vis Spectrum of Patulin

April 14, 2026

Access the UV-Vis Spectrum SIELC Library

If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Patulin check our HPLC Applications library

For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The compound was dissolved in water. This analysis was done with the mobile phase made of 20% acetonitrile and 80% water.

HPLC Method for Patulin on Newcrom R1 by SIELC Technologies


High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Patulin

Patulin is a fungi produced mycotoxin with the molecular formula C7H6O4. It is lethal to rodents, as well as causing a myriad of health problems to other animals, including rats, mice, chickens, and hamsters. It is typically found on fruits and vegetables, especially apples. Extended exposure to patulin may potentially lead to tumor formation.

Patulin can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom R1 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a ammonium formate buffer. Detection is performed using UV.

HPLC Method for Patulin on Newcrom R1 by SIELC Technologies

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Patulin.

Patulin is a toxic chemical contaminant produced by several species of mold, especially within Byssochlamys Aspergillus and Penicillium. It is the most common mycotoxin found in apples and apple-derived products such as juice, cider, compotes and other food intended for young children.

Patulin can be retained in HPLC on Newcrom R1 reverse-phase column with the simple isocratic mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN), water and Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4) buffer. The analysis method can be UV detected at 275 nm.

Separation of Patulin on Newcrom R1 HPLC column

February 16, 2018
Separation of Patulin on Newcrom C18 HPLC column

Patulin can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.

Application Column

Newcrom R1

The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
