Samples of 4 foods, 1 animal feed, isolated soy protein, and beta-lactoglobulin were analyzed by 9 laboratories to determine concentrations of cysteine as cysteic acid, methionine as methionine sulfone, and tryptophan. Sulfur amino acids were determined by AOAC method 43.A08-43.A13 for food and feed ingredients, in which samples are oxidized with performic acid before protein hydrolysis with 6N HCl. Tryptophan was determined after protein hydrolysis with 4.2N NaOH. In both methods, free amino acids were separated by ion-exchange or reverse-phase chromatography. Each laboratory was provided with detailed methods and with sealed vials containing solutions of standards. Samples were analyzed in duplicate, and variation between laboratories was determined. Coefficients of variation between laboratories for the 6 samples ranged from 5.50 to 11.8% for methionine as methionine sulfoxide, 8.59 to 17.3% for cysteine as cysteic acid, and 3.87 to 16.1% for tryptophan. Amino acid recoveries were determined by analysis of beta-lactoglobulin and were based on expected levels of each amino acid obtained from amino acid sequence data. The mean recovery of cysteine was 97% with a range of 88-119%. For methionine, mean recovery was 98% (range 89-115%) and for tryptophan, 85% (range 59-102%). Method 43.A08-43.A13 for food and feed ingredients has been adopted official first action for determination of cysteine and methionine in processed foods. The alkaline hydrolysis method has been adopted official first action for determination of tryptophan in foods and food and feed ingredients.  相似文献

Samples of 6 food and feed ingredients and a purified protein, beta-lactoglobulin, were analyzed by 7 laboratories to determine the concentrations of cysteine as cysteic acid and methionine as methionine sulfone. Samples were oxidized by reaction with performic acid before hydrolysis with 6N HCl. The free amino acids were then separated and measured by ion-exchange chromatography on dedicated amino acid analyzers. Each laboratory was provided with a detailed method as well as sealed vials containing solutions of standards. For the determination of cysteine as cysteic acid, the coefficients of variation between laboratories for duplicate samples ranged from 7.13 to 10.8% for the 6 ingredients. For the determination of methionine as methionine sulfone, the coefficients of variation between laboratories for duplicate samples ranged from 1.18 to 12.8% for the 6 ingredients. Cysteine and methionine recoveries were determined by analysis of beta-lactoglobulin and were based on expected levels of each amino acid from amino acid sequence data. The mean recovery of cysteine was 95% with a range of 91-101%. The mean recovery of methionine was 101% with a range of 98-106%. This method has been adopted official first action.  相似文献

Moore's and Stein's classical ion-exchange separation of amino acids remains the standard by which all methods are judged. The adaptation of liquid chromatography (LC) equipment to amino acid analysis was inevitable because microprocessor control of gradients allowed almost infinite variation in gradient shape, producing superior resolution with only 2 buffers. The versatility of LC equipment allowed the instruments to be used for other assays. Adaptation of orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) to amino acid analysis increased detection sensitivity to the picomole range. A method for essential amino acids analysis in mechanically separated red meat and poultry products has been adapted to liquid chromatography using postcolumn hypochlorite oxidation, OPA derivatization, and fluorescence detection. Separation is achieved with 2 sequential concave exponential gradients combining ionic strength and pH increases with halide-containing buffers. Hydroxyproline and proline are detected with increasing sensitivity through the use of 3-mercaptopropionic acid in a stabilized OPA reagent. Sample preparation is a critical part of the method. A defatting procedure removes fat and other nonprotein nitrogenous substances. The hydrolysis procedure is designed to protect tryptophan which can be routinely assayed in hydrolysates with a modified flow program. Corrosion damage to the equipment by halide buffers has brought about a search for alternative methodology.  相似文献

Corn, soybean meal, and isolated soybean protein samples were acid-hydrolyzed and analyzed for amino acid content by reverse phase liquid chromatography (LC) and by conventional ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) using an amino acid analyzer. The former method employed pre-column derivatization with orthophthalaldehyde (OPTA)/ethanethiol and fluorescence detection. In the LC procedure, glycine and threonine were not resolved, and proline and cyst(e)ine were not detected. In general, amino acid values obtained by LC and IEC compared closely within and across feedstuffs, and both agreed well with published amino acid composition data. The notable exceptions were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and alanine. Results of this study suggest that reverse phase LC with pre-column OPTA derivatization can be applied to accurately measure primary amino acids in individual feedstuffs.  相似文献

This presentation describes amino acid analysis with the gas chromatographic method and experimental conditions using the N-trifluoroacetyl n-butyl ester derivatives; the study we describe here was undertaken to compare gas chromatographic (GC) and ion-exchange chromatographic (IEC) analyses of amino acids in hydrolysates of 9 diverse sample types to gain insight into effects of these 2 chromatographic methods of analysis on variation in amino acid results. Our study showed that values for samples prepared by 2 separate laboratories using the same procedure were generally in good agreement when all of the hydrolysates were analyzed by a single laboratory using a single method of analysis. To compare results from gas chromatography with those from ion-exchange chromatography analyses were performed by 2 different laboratories on the same hydrolysates and on different hydrolysates prepared by the same method by both laboratories. The data demonstrate that GC and IEC can be expected to yield essentially identical results when applied to the same hydrolysate. Agreement is so close that interlaboratory differences in hydrolysate preparation of the same sample contribute as much to variation in amino acid results as does the method of analysis, a fact which should be noted in planning collaborative studies.  相似文献

The Food Safety and Inspection Service procedure for determination of essential amino acid content of mechanically processed products from red meat animals and poultry is based on hydrolysis of a powder prepared by blending samples in acetone-chloroform. The hydrolysis procedure incorporates thioglycolic acid to prevent loss of tryptophan. Aliquots of prepared hydrolysates are injected into a liquid chromatographic system, using gradient elution on an ion-exchange column for separation. The system also uses post-column hypochlorite oxidation coupled with orthophthalaldehyde reagent and fluorescence detection. Modification of the elution program allows concurrent determination of tryptophan with minimal added cost. Chromatograms from beef, pork, and poultry products show adequate separation and quantitation of beta-alanine, 1-methyl-histidine, and 3-methyl-histidine, indicating that the procedure could be used to estimate muscle content of products. A colorimetric procedure for assay of hydroxyproline was introduced and validated as an adjunct method for protein quality estimation.  相似文献

To improve accuracy and precision of amino acid analysis in 12 Dutch feed laboratories, a proficiency study was organized twice annually over a 4-year period. The method used included reflux acid hydrolysis for 22 h followed by evaporation, separation on a cation-exchange resin in an amino acid analyzer, and photometric detection after post-column derivatization with ninhydrin. For the determination of sulfur-containing amino acids, samples were oxidized prior to hydrolysis. For the determination of tryptophan, samples underwent an alkaline hydrolysis excluding oxygen, were separated by liquid chromatography on a Hypersil ODS analytical column, and were assayed by UV or fluorescence detection. The average relative standard deviations within (CVr) and between (CVR) laboratories were 3 and 7%, respectively. For some mixed feed samples, the results from the proficiency study were compared with those obtained by the International Analytical Group. For those samples, the relative standard deviation of the difference between IAG and Dutch groups was only 1.9%. For samples that were analyzed twice during this 4-year period, relative standard deviation of between-series differences was only 2.1%.  相似文献

A method was developed for the quantitative determination of the neurotoxic nonprotein amino acid, 3-N-oxalyl-L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (beta-ODAP), and its nontoxic alpha-isomer, 2-N-oxalyl-L-2, 3-diaminopropionic acid (alpha-ODAP), in the plant samples of Lathyrus sativus after derivatization with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (AQC) by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Hippuric acid was used as an internal standard. A linear response was recorded in the concentration rang 0.32-32 nmol with r > 0.999. The RP HPLC detection limit for both isomers is 1.8 ng. According to different experimental needs, a ternary gradient system can be used to determine toxin and other nonprotein amino acids. The RP HPLC method and a colorimetric method were compared for measuring ODAP.  相似文献

An analytical method for the determination of free amino acids in ciders is reported. It is based on high-performance liquid chromatography with an automatic precolumn derivatization with o-phthaldehyde and 3-mercaptopropionic acid and diode array detection. The method was applied to monitor the amino acids during second fermentation of sparkling ciders. This paper reports the influence of yeast strains and aging time on the amino acid composition of sparkling ciders. The application of principal component analysis enables the ciders to be differentiated on the basis of the two factors considered (yeast strain and aging time). The first principal component, which accounts for 58% of the total variance, achieved the separation according to aging time with serine, glycine, alanine, valine, ornithine, leucine, and lysine as the most important variables. The second principal component, accounting for 28% of the explained variance, is closely related to aspartic acid and asparagine and separates the samples according to the yeast strain.  相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with diode-array detection (DAD) was used to identify and quantify free and total phenolic acids (m-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, gallic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid, chlorogenic acid, and ellagic acid) in plant foods. Free phenolic acids were extracted with a mixture of methanol and 10% acetic acid. Bound phenolic acids were liberated using first alkaline and then acid hydrolysis followed by extraction with diethyl ether/ethyl acetate (1:1). All fractions were quantified separately by HPLC. After HPLC quantification, results of alkali and acid hydrolysates were calculated to represent total phenolic acids. Ellagic acid was quantified separately after long (20 h) acid hydrolysis. The methods developed were effective for the determination of phenolic acids in plant foods. DAD response was linear for all phenolic acids within the ranges evaluated, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.999. Coefficients of variation for 4-8 sample replicates were consistently below 10%. Recovery tests of phenolic acids were performed for every hydrolysis condition using several samples. Recoveries were generally good (mean >90%) with the exceptions of gallic acid and, in some cases, caffeic acid samples.  相似文献

Corn, peanut meal, and soybean meal samples were either untreated or oxidized with performic acid before hydrolysis; the amino acids were determined by cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography (LC) and conventional cation exchange LC using an amino acid analyzer (AAA). Reproducibility of each procedure was assessed by repeated injections of the same calibration standard solution over a period of several days. LC data were more precise with regard to coefficients of variation for amino acid retention times, but were more variable with regard to peak areas. Although some significant differences between methods were noted, feedstuff amino acid values obtained by LC and AAA compared very well. The only consistent differences observed within each feedstuff were that Phe and Tyr values were significantly lower when analyzed by LC compared with AAA. Results of this study suggest that modular LC instrumentation can be used to accurately and reproducibly analyze amino acids in feedstuff hydrolysates. Advantages of using ninhydrin derivatization for feedstuff analysis, as opposed to using o-phthalaldehyde or dansyl chloride, are discussed.  相似文献

This study was carried out to investigate the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions on the properties of protein hydrolysate from fish muscle of the marine fish species Collichthys niveatus. About 160 fish samples were tested, and the analyzed fish species was found to be a lean fish with low fat (1.77 ± 0.01%) and high protein (16.76 ± 1.21%). Fish muscle of C. niveatus was carefully collected and hydrolyzed with four commercial enzymes: Alcalase, Neutrase, Protamex, and Flavourzyme under the conditions recommended by the manufacturers. Among the tested proteases, Neutrase catalyzed the hydrolysis process most effectively since the hydrolysate generated by Neutrase has the highest content of sweet and umami taste amino acids (SUA). The effect of hydrolysis conditions was further optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), and the optimum values for temperature, pH, and enzyme/substrate ratio (E/S ratio) were found to be 40.7 °C, 7.68, and 0.84%, respectively. Finally, the amino acid composition of the hydrolysate was analyzed by AccQ·Tag derivatization and HPLC-PDA determination. Major amino acids of the muscle of C. niveatus were threonine, glutamic acid, phenyalanine, tryptophan, and lysine, accounting for respectively 10.92%, 10.85%, 10.79%, 9.86%, and 9.76% of total amino acid content. The total content of essential amino acids was 970.7 ng·mL(-1), while that of nonessential amino acids was 709.1 ng·mL(-1). The results suggest that the fish muscle and its protein hydrolysate from C. niveatus provide a versatile supply of the benefits and can be incorporated as supplements in health-care foods.  相似文献

A simple and highly sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method (RP-HPLC) has been developed for the determination of steviol (SV) using dihydroisosteviol (DHISV) as an internal standard (IS). SV and DHISV were derivatized by reaction of the acids with 4-(bromomethyl)-7-methoxycoumarin in an aprotic solvent (DMF or acetone). The resulting ester derivatives were separated on an ODS column (250 x 4.6 mm i.d., 5 microm particle size) using fluorescence detection with excitation at 321 nm and emission at 391 nm. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile/water (80:20 v/v) with a flow rate of 1 mL min(-)(1). A linear relationship was observed for concentrations between 0.5 and 50 microg/mL of SV, and the detection limit was 100 pg. For application of this method to samples of beer fortified with stevioside, a simple procedure for extraction of the beer with diethyl ether and derivatization in DMF was applied. Whereas beer samples spiked with SV gave a linear response over the range 0.1-15 microg/mL beer, no SV could be detected in beer samples enriched in stevioside that had been stored for over 3 years. The application of the method to plant samples involved preparation of an acid fraction containing the SV analyte, derivatization, and sample cleanup using small silica columns and thin-layer chromatography. A sensitive determination of 594 ng of steviol present in 100 mg of dry plant material was performed with high precision and accuracy.  相似文献

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) calibrations were developed to enable the accurate and fast prediction of the total contents of methionine, cystine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, and other essential amino acids, protein, and moisture in the most important protein-rich feed ingredients. More than 1000 samples of global origin collected over four years were analyzed on amino acids following the official methods of the United States and the European Union. Detailed data and graphics are given to characterize the obtained calibration equations. NIRS was validated with independent samples for soy and meat meal products and compared to the amino acid predictions using linear crude protein regressions. With a few exceptions, validation showed that 85-98% of the amino acid variance in the samples could be explained using NIRS. NIRS predictions compared to reference results agree excellently, with relative mean deviations below 5%. Especially for meat and poultry meals, NIRS can predict amino acids much better than crude protein regressions. By enabling the amino acid analysis of many samples to be completed in a short time, NIRS can improve the accuracy of feed formulation and thus the quality and production costs of mixed feeds.  相似文献

Further NIRS calibrations were developed for the accurate and fast prediction of the total contents of methionine, cystine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, and other essential amino acids, protein, and moisture in the most important cereals and brans or middlings for animal feed production. More than 1100 samples of global origin collected over five years were analyzed for amino acids following the Official Methods of the United States and European Union. Detailed data and graphics are given to characterize the obtained calibration equations. NIRS was validated with 98 independent samples for wheat and 78 samples for corn and compared to amino acid predictions using linear crude protein regression equations. With a few exceptions, validation showed that 70-98% of the amino acid variance in the samples could be explained using NIRS. Especially for lysine and methionine, the most limiting amino acids for farm animals, NIRS can predict contents in cereals much better than crude protein regressions. Through low cost and high speed of analysis NIRS enables the amino acid analysis of many samples in order to improve the accuracy of feed formulation and obtain better quality and lower production costs.  相似文献

Accurate determination of amino acid levels in soy products facilitates optimum diet formulation and amino acid supplementation. A study was carried out to investigate the effect of hydrolysis time and method of amino acid measurement on amino acid levels. Correction factors to standardize amino acid levels to 24 h of hydrolysis were also determined. Six different soybean products were evaluated. Hydrolysis was carried out for 10 different periods of time. Amino acids were analyzed by both ion-exchange chromatography and precolumn derivatization with phenyl isothiocyanate. Both hydrolysis time and measurement method affected (P < 0.05) amino acid levels. Standard hydrolysis conditions (hydrolysis in 6 M HCl at 110 degrees C for 24 h) rarely provide the maximal amino acid values. Therefore, sequential hydrolyses curves were very useful and should be used.  相似文献

Determination of trace residues of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs and PCDFs) in various matrixes is carried out by a limited number of laboratories in the United States, Canada, and other countries. Current methods for analysis of foods and biological tissues include a combination of preparation, extraction, cleanup, isolation, determination, and identity confirmation procedures. Soxhlet, liquid/liquid, solid-phase, and column extraction procedures are used as well as treatment with acid or base before solvent extraction. Cleanup and isolation steps include sulfuric acid partitioning; adsorption chromatography on Florisil, silica gel, or alumina; gel permeation chromatography; multi-stage column chromatography on sulfuric acid silica and alkali silica; carbon column chromatography; and liquid chromatography fractionation with size exclusion, normal-phase, and reverse-phase columns. Activated carbon and multistage chromatographic columns are widely used in cleanup schemes. Isomer-specific identification and quantitation of PCDD and PCDF congeners at parts-per-trillion levels or lower are carried out by high resolution (capillary) gas chromatography (HRGC) and multiple ion detection mass spectrometry. In addition to chemical methods, bioassay procedures have been recommended (e.g., use of monoclonal antibodies, for immunoassay determination of PCDDs and PCDFs).  相似文献

The transport and fate of pesticides applied to ornamental plant nursery crops are not well documented. Methodology for analysis of soil and water runoff samples concomitantly containing the herbicides simazine (1-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine) and 2,4-D ((2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid) was developed in this research to investigate the potential for runoff and leaching from ornamental nursery plots. Solid-phase extraction was used prior to analysis by gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. Chromatographic results were compared with determination by enzyme-linked immunoassay analysis. The significant analytical contributions of this research include (1) the development of a scheme using chromatographic mode sequencing for the fractionation of simazine and 2,4-D, (2) optimization of the homogeneous derivatization of 2,4-D using the methylating agent boron trifluoride in methanol as an alternative to in situ generation of diazomethane, and (3) the practical application of these techniques to field samples.  相似文献

Two methods have been used for the identification and determination of uronic acids in soils and soil fractions. The uronic acids were released by hydrolysis with sulphuric acid. After partial purification by ion-exchange chromatography they were separated either by further ion-exchange or by gas-liquid chromatography of derivatives. The latter method is preferable for determination of the specific activities of uronic acids in soil tracer work. Both galacturonic and glucuronic acids were detected in the four Scottish soils examined, the galacturonic acid being present in slightly greater amounts in each soil. Mannuronic acid was not detected. The total amount of uronic acids found ranged from about 4 mg to 6 mg/g soil.  相似文献
