Analysis of Cyclodextrines in Green Tea using HPLC-ELSD

Surfactants are well known as a main constituent of commercial detergent with non-ionic surfactants now more widely employed due to their hydrophilic properties meaning they are not ionized even when dissolved in water. Considering its nature, the usage of non-ionic surfactants have increased dramatically and its affect on the environment has been pointed out. Therefore, non-ionic surfactants have been monitored for Water Quality Control Standards. In this application note, Triton X-100 and Polyethylene Glycol 400 as non-ionic surfactant samples were measured and analyzed using an ELSD detector with Silica NH2 column in HILIC mode.
