Abstract

Chromatographic behavior of methylxanthines – caffeine, theobromine and theophylline – at the
conditions of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was studied. Conditions of
methylxanthines separation and determination were chosen by the variation of mobile and stationary
phase nature. Developed method was used for caffeine, theobromine and theophylline determination in
the different tea samples
