Abstract

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with evaporative light scattering detector(ELSD-2000)was used for the determination of theanine in tea without derivatization. A Polaris-C18 column (250βmm×4.6βmm) was used with the mobile phase of 0.1%trifluoroacetic acid water solution and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid acetonitrile solution .The flow rate was at 0.5βml/min. The linear response ranged from 0.062~0.450βmg/mL for theanine. The recovery was 97.5%. The method was evaluated as accurate and simple.
