Description
Organic acids were separated by ion-exclusion chromatography using the Zodiac HST OG column (250 × 4.6 mm). The mobile phase consisted of 25% acetonitrile and 75% water with 0.03% sulfuric acid. The method was run at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min and monitored by UV detection at 210 nm.
The method enables effective separation of polar acidic compounds and is compatible with LC/MS detection. Four organic acids were baseline resolved under these conditions:
Maleic acid (pKa = 1.83)
Fumaric acid (pKa = 3.03)
Malic acid (pKa = 3.40)
Succinic acid (pKa = 4.16)
The separation is based on differences in acidity and structure, allowing precise analysis of organic acids in complex mixtures.
