RESUMO

The present work concerns the application of molecular fluorescence and multivariate calibration method, in the PLS-1 modality, for the simultaneous determination of caffeic (CA) and chlorogenic (CGA) acids in synthetic samples and in real samples of aqueous vegetable extracts of Ilex paraguariensis, using the intrinsic fluorescence of both compounds. The developed method just need the use of warm water for the extraction stage and no chemical is required. A factorial design 2 was applied to get the optimized conditions looking for the largest sensitivity, evaluating the main effects and the presence of interaction factors. This study was performed for each one of the analyte separately. They were performed two types of design: one related to the instrumental variables and other on the variables related to the sample condition. However, the choice of the levels and the factors was based on the preliminary experiments, being observed the effect of nine variables on the behavior of fluorescence emission. The optimized conditions allowed to obtain a linear response for CA in the range of 0.08-11.1 mmol L, using a wavelength of 284 nm for excitation, with a detection limit (LD) equivalent to 0.02 mmol L and quantification limit (LQ) of 0.07 mmol L (r=0.9972, n=7). For CGA the linear response range was 0.3-8.5 mmol L, excitation at a wavelength of 330 nm, with a LD=0.07 mmol L and LQ=0.2 mmol L (r=0.9959, n=8). The construction of the calibration model for the rnixture was consisted in different proportions of CA and CGA (1:7.5; 1:9.5; 1:11.5; 1:13.5; 1:17.5). The spectra of the samples were obtained exciting at 284 nm, and recording the spectral range of 380-500 nm. The data were decomposed using PLS-1. The data set was mean centered, being used the cross validation, without derivative transformation. The optimum number of factors was found as 3 (CA) and 5 (CGA), and 48 samples were used in the calibration set, and 12 samples in one validation group. A satisfactory agreement between predicted and experimental concentrations was obtained (r=0.990007 and 0.997176 for the models of CA and CGA), and for both models the prediction performance was evaluated in terms of the variability coefficient (CV). The acids quantification in the commercial sample was carried out using the final models obtained by PLS-1, being validated through the standard addition, with good recoveries (94±5 % and 104±3 %, for CA and CGA, respectively)
