Question 7 (15 points) Epigalocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the primary catechin found in green tea extract. The high-performance liquid chromatography–ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) analysis of green tea extract gave a signal of 72 for EGCG. Later, 5.00 mL of green tea extract and 1.00 mL of a 200 μM standard EGCG were mixed together and diluted to 10.00 mL. The analysis of the spiked sample gave a signal of 89. Calculate the concentration of EGCG in the green tea extract.
