Anthocyanins, natural food antioxidants, can be identified in human blood plasma using a restricted access phase for removal of the proteins and enrichment of the anthocyanins. In preliminary studies the spray dried elderberry juice was shown to have antioxidant activities in vitro. From the four known anthocyanins present in elderberry (Sambucus nigra) the two main components could be analysed quantitatively enabling their analysis in blood. Using a restricted access phase and a column switching set-up the injection of high volumes of concentrated protein solutions is possible. Additional, by using high injection volumes the sensitivity is increased due to a concentration of the analytes on the restricted access phase. The limit of quantification reached was 0.5 ng/mL. In this experiment the maximum concentration in blood (35 mg/mL) was observed after 1 h with a quick decay.
