きることχ見出し２本発明をなすに至ったのである。B) Means for solving the problem χ As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problem, the inventor of the present application has decided to include more than a predetermined amount of magnesium ions and gold in the mobile phase for attaching the sample to the chromatography column. Accordingly, the present invention has been achieved based on the fact that three-component Q separation can be performed without tailing.

同時分析することを特徴とする安息香酸、ソＮビン酸、
デヒドロ酢酸の同時分析法である。That is, in the present invention, benzoic acid,
Benzoic acid, so-N-binic acid, which is characterized in that a sample containing anic acid and dehydroacetic acid is subjected to a reversed-phase chromatography column for simultaneous purple analysis of benzoic acid, μ-binic acid, and dehydroacetic acid.
This is a simultaneous analysis method for dehydroacetic acid.
ここで、マグネシウムイオンの濃度を少なくとも０．０
５ＭとしたのＨｏ、０５ Ｍ未満だとマグネシウム添加
の効果が表われずピークのテーリングが依然として生じ
るからである。Here, the concentration of magnesium ions is at least 0.0
This is because if the Ho content is less than 0.5 M, the effect of magnesium addition will not be apparent and peak tailing will still occur.
マグネシウムイオンの濃度の上限については特に規定さ
れないが、移動相中への溶解という観点からは０．３Ｍ
以下が好ましい。The upper limit of the concentration of magnesium ions is not particularly specified, but from the viewpoint of dissolution in the mobile phase, it is 0.3M.
The following are preferred.
移動相に添加するマグネシウムの形態としては０例えば
酢酸マグネシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、硫酸マグネシウ
