This study deals with the sea sand disruption method (SSDM) in sample preparation for chromatographic analysis of quercetin in different plants. Several SSDM variables were tested in relation to quercetin recovery: sample to sand mass ratio, type of dispersing liquid, volume of the solvent applied for analyte elution, and the time of grinding. The optimized procedure has been applied for the extraction of quercetin from the edible and inedible parts of different varieties of onion, apples, and tea. The SSDM results are comparable with those obtained by pressurized liquid extraction, regarded as one of the most effective sample preparation techniques. The presented results show that the hydrolysis of quercetin glycoside form in SSDM conditions does not occur or is negligible. Hence, the method is especially useful when the estimation of the real amount of aglycones in plants is required.
