Measurement the Amount of Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) and Absorbable Calcium (Ca2+), Iron (II) (Fe2+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Phosphate (PO4) and Zinc (Zn2+) in Apricot Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Spectroscopic Techniques

According to the importance of Apricots in families’ nutrition basket, food chain and also its increased greenhouse, measure three of the nutrient and biochemical factors of Apricots were done [1-23]. Within the frame work of a plan, the amount of Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) in greenhouse and ordinary Apricots were compared together, respectively. Then, we made them pass through vacuum and collected the passed solution from High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) columns and read them using some spectroscopic techniques such as Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), FT-Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopies (Figures 1-5). In this regard, after providing the passive sample and also example and standard samples, we presented their standard curves and reported the amount of their Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), respectively. After that, the results were analyzed using Mathematica 10. The results of regression method show this method possesses all of characteristics of proceed method, completely. Through comparing these two kinds of Apricots (green house and ordinary Apricots) together, it can be concluded that there is no striking difference between the amount of Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) in the two kinds of Apricots. Therefore, as a nutrient recommendation for consumers, we cannot believe in any differences between them due to the amount of Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).
