Extraction Procedure
1. Weigh 400 mg of Stevia rebaudiana leaves (Sigma S5381)
2. Crush leaves with mortar and pestle and transfer to vial
3. Add 8 mL of 50/50 (v/v) acetonitrile/water
4. Sonicate vial contents for 15 minutes
5. Filter sample using 25 mm syringe filter having 0.2 μm PTFE membrane (VWR 28145-495)
6. Centrifuge @ 10K rpm (5 min.) and collect supernate
7. Dilute 400 μL of extract in 600 μL of acetonitrile for overall concentration of 80/20 acetonitrile/water
8. Centrifuge diluted sample @ 10K (5 min.) rpm and inject the supernate
Stevia is a natural sweetener and is used as a substitute for sugar. LC/MS analysis of stevia glycosides from a Stevia extract is easily accomplished using HALO-5 Penta-HILIC column due to its unique bonded phase containing five OH groups and the high efficiency of the 5-micron Fused-Core particles.
