Methods of analysis for determining low quantities of lycopene cis-trans isomers in biological tissues are needed. Development of two liquid chromatography (LC) methods based on the polymeric C30 stationary phase equipped with coulometric electrochemical array detection (ED) is described. Separation of 13 lycopene isomers including prolycopene, (a novel tetra-cis-lycopene found in Tangerine tomatoes) was accomplished with both isocratic and gradient methods using different proportions of methanol, methyl tert.-butyl ether, water and 1 M ammonium acetate buffer. Carotenoids were detected at potential settings between 200 and 620 mV. Differences in generated current-voltage curves aided in tentative identification of trans carotenoid species and select cis isomers of lycopene. These methods were successfully applied in the analysis of small quantities of plasma, buccal mucosal cells, prostate and cervical tissues. Limits of detection for trans-lycopene by ED were found to be 50 fmol representing a 10- to 100-fold increase over conventional UV-Vis absorbance methods.
