The 2-chloroethyl esters of 5 fatty acids have been identified in spice and food samples by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC/MS). Twenty-four spice samples were analyzed for the 2-chloroethyl esters of fatty acids by AOAC official multiple residues pesticide procedure using GLC with microcoulometric detection. The esters of capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, and linoleic acids have been identified at levels up to 1400 ppm. 2-Chloroethyl linoleate was the most abundant ester in all samples. Several foods analyzed by the same procedures showed levels of 2-chloroethyl linoleate as high as 35 ppm. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 84 to 98% for the various esters. A method using an acid-catalyzed esterification reaction was developed to rapidly determine the fatty acid content of these spices. GLC analysis with microcoulometric detection was used. Recoveries from fortified samples ranged from 92 to 110%. After 2 spice samples found to be free of 2-chloroethyl esters were fumigated with ethylene oxide, the level of 2-chloroethyl linoleate reached 77 ppm. All levels of 2-chloroethyl esters were confirmed by GLC/MS.  相似文献

A gas chromatographic-single ion mass spectrometric method was developed for determining dimethoate residues in wheat plants. The base peak (m/e 37) of dimethoate was chosen as the single ion peak, and methyl stearate was used as an internal standard for this analysis. The minimum detectable concentration of dimethoate by this method was about 0.1 ppm for a 20 g wheat plant sample. The recoveries of dimethoate were about 89% at 0.13 ppm and greater than 96% at 0.5-1 ppm.  相似文献

A method using gas chromatography/chemical ionization mass spectrometry (GC/CIMS) for the determination of daminozide residues in apples has been developed. Daminozide was separated from the sample matrix by water extraction and cation exchange, converted to the methyl ester by treatment with HCl-methanol, and determined by GC/CIMS using succinonitrile as an internal standard. The detection level was 0.05 ppm. Recoveries were 92-104% from apples spiked at the 0.05-0.5 ppm levels. Of the 25 apple samples analyzed, only 2 were positive for daminozide (1.04 and 0.32 ppm).  相似文献

A rapid, reliable method for the simultaneous determination of creatinine and pseudouridine is described. Both analytes were detected at an optimum wavelength of detection (262 nm), considering the relative levels present in bovine urine. Cimetidine was used as the internal standard and detected at its maximum wavelength of absorption (220 nm) on a separate channel. All three compounds were eluted within 15 min, using a 10 mmol/L phosphate buffer (pH 6.8)-methanol gradient on a C18 column. Creatinine data were found to be significantly dependent upon the pH of the sample. Recoveries of both analytes were above 96%. Lowest detectable levels of creatinine and pseudouridine were 0.28 nmol and 9.0 pmol, respectively. The use of internal standard resulted in a method with high precision (standard deviation of 1.42 mmol/L and 0.027 mmol/L for creatinine and pseudouridine), yet one that was simple and rapid.  相似文献

As a potential transmitter of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), tissue from bovine central nervous system (CNS) is not accepted in meat and meat products. Western blot analysis of the CNS marker myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) detects CNS contamination selectively and sensitively. In this study, a rapid dot blot assay using an anti-PLP antibody was developed to screen CNS contamination of meat and contact surfaces. The detection limit was 0.01% bovine brain in minced bovine muscle. When applied to a swab test, down to 0.5 mg of CNS tissue on meat or other surfaces was detectable. Other offal tissues or peripheral nerves did not interfere with the assay. The test allows a differentiation between mammalian and avian CNS but not among mammalian species. The swab test was applied immediately after slaughtering at several areas of the bovine head. CNS was not detectable at any region which may enter the food chain.  相似文献

Ginsenosides separated by silica gel TLC blotted to a PVDF membrane that was treated with a NaIO4 solution followed by bovine serum albumin (BSA) resulted in a ginsenoside-BSA conjugate on a PVDF membrane. The blotted spots were stained by anti-ginsenoside Rb1 (G-Rb1) and -Rg1 (G-Rg1) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). The newly established immunostaining method, Eastern blotting, was applied for the determination of ginsenosides possessing protopanaxadiol and/or protopanaxatriol in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This method developed a new way to separate the ginsenoside molecule into two functional parts using a simple and well-known chemical reaction. The sugar parts were oxidized by NaIO4 to give dialdehydes, which reacted with amino groups of the protein and covalently bound to the adsorbent PVDF membrane. The MAb bound to the aglycon part of the ginsenoside molecule for immunostaining. Double staining of Eastern blotting for ginsenosides using anti-G-Rb1 and -Rg1 MAbs promoted complete identification of ginsenosides in Panax species. The immunoaffinity concentration of G-Rb1 was deteremined by immunoaffinity column conjugated with anti-G-Rb1 MAb leading to the knock-out extract, which will be useful for the pharmacological investigation. To concentrate and determine G-Rb1 in P. japonicus, the crude extract of P. japonicus was fractionated by immunoaffinity column conjugated with anti-G-Rb1 MAb. Two ginsenosides, chikusetsusaponins III and IV having protopanaxadiol as an aglycon, were identified by Eastern blotting, although it was expected that G-Rb1 might be a component of P. japonicus by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis.  相似文献

The optical isomers of amino acids can be easily separated by gas chromatography using capillary columns coated with the chiral polysiloxane peptide, Chirasil-Val. Quantitative trace amino acid analysis in complex mixtures such as biological fluids, sea water, or protein hydrolysates can be achieved by enantiomer labeling: The D-amino acid enantiomers, which do not occur naturally, are added to the sample prior to analysis as internal standards. Because the D-enantiomers show the same physical and chemical properties as the natural L-enantiomers, they are ideal standard references. In routine analysis, the derivatization is achieved with a new automated derivatization robot. The D-standard serves as overall internal standard for the whole analytical procedure from sample enrichment to derivatization, chromatography, and response of the detector.  相似文献

A database consisting of 168 dipeptides and 140 tripeptides was constructed from published literature to study the quantitative structure--activity relationships of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides. Two models were computed using partial least squares regression based on the three z-scores of 20 coded amino acids and further validated by cross-validation and permutation tests. The two-component model could explain 73.2% of the Y-variance (inhibitor concentration that reduced enzyme activity by 50%, IC50) with the predictive ability of 71.1% for dipeptides, while the single-component model could explain 47.1% of the Y-variance with the predictive ability of 43.3% for tripeptides. Amino acid residues with bulky side chains as well as hydrophobic side chains were preferred for dipeptides. For tripeptides, the most favorable residues for the carboxyl terminus were aromatic amino acids, while positively charged amino acids were preferred for the middle position, and hydrophobic amino acids were preferred for the amino terminus. According to the models, the IC50 values of seven new peptides with matchable primary sequences within pea protein, bovine milk protein, and soybean were predicted. The predicted peptides were synthesized, and their IC50 values were validated through laboratory determination of inhibition of ACE activity.  相似文献

A convenient method for the determination of the N-methyl,N-methoxy-phenylurea herbicide (linuron) in potatoes has been developed. The herbicide is extracted from potatoes using a slightly modified Luke multiresidue procedure. The extract is analyzed directly by gas chromatography with cold on-column injection, using an ion trap mass spectrometer in the chemical ionization mode as the detector. Quantitation is performed using p-bromonitrobenzene as the internal standard. The limit of detection is 0.1 ppm. Recoveries of linuron in potatoes averaged 112 +/- 6% at the 0.5 ppm level, and 110 +/- 2% at the 0.2 ppm level. No linuron residues were found in 25 potato samples that were analyzed by this method. Two other N-methyl,N-methoxy-phenylurea herbicides, metobromuron and chlorbromuron, are also sufficiently stable to be determined by this method, but the N,N-dialkyl-phenylurea herbicides neburon, diuron, and monuron are too thermally unstable and degrade in the gas chromatograph.  相似文献

The fractioning of some components and their immobilization of Flavourzyme, a commercial protease/aminopeptidase preparation, has been investigated to improve its specificity and stability. Adsorption of Flavourzyme on two ionic exchangers yielded two fractions with endoprotease activity and one fraction containing aminopeptidase activity. The use of an amine agarose gel has made it possible to purify a 43 kDa protein with only endoprotease activity. Immobilization of this endoprotease and the original Flavourzyme preparation onto glyoxyl-agarose provided derivatives that were more thermostable than their soluble counterparts. Tests using immobilized Flavourzyme and immobilized purified endoprotease for the hydrolysis of chickpea proteins showed that both preparations can be used for the production of protein hydrolysates and compare very favorably with the original crude Flavourzyme in terms of reducing the production of free amino acids. This was especially so in the case of immobilized endoprotease, which produced only 0.2% free amino acids. Keeping free amino acids content low is very important in protein hydrolysates for nutritional use to avoid excessive osmotic pressure.  相似文献

The applicability of amino acid analysis for accurate quantitation of reference standard preparations of proteins has been evaluated. This approach is very useful since, in addition to absolute quantitative information, it also provides a measure of composition, partial identity, and purity in a single experiment. Comparisons with Kjeldahl nitrogen assay and/or UV measurements shows that amino acid analysis is reliable for the quantitation of small-to-medium size proteins in the molecular weight range of 6-22 kDa. For larger proteins such as immunoglobulins (150 kDa), amino acid analysis may "underestimate" the total protein concentration. These results also show the effect of recovery of individual residues on protein quantitation. As expected, the recovery of more than one stable residue could be used to calculate total protein content of samples, which is in good agreement with the results obtained by Kjeldahl nitrogen assay. However, the protein concentrations calculated from the total mass of the recovered residues appear to give relatively low estimates in almost all cases. Thus, it is concluded that amino acid analysis is an appropriate reference method only when stable residues are employed for quantitation, particularly for highly purified proteins of rDNA origin.  相似文献

A growing body of research is arguing that amino acids are key components of the soil nitrogen cycle. For example, we now know that many plants can take up intact amino acids, even in competition with soil microbes. Our growing recognition of the importance of amino acids is not matched by knowledge of the amounts and type of amino acids in the soil, certainly not in comparison with our encyclopaedic knowledge of inorganic N. The primary reason that less is known about amino acids than inorganic N is that measuring the amounts of individual amino acids with conventional chromatographic techniques is slow and typically requires extensive sample clean-up if KCl extracts are analysed. The aim of this study was to develop capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) as a more rapid alternative for measuring individual amino acids in KCl extracts of soil. The CE-LIF method separated 17 common amino acids within 12 min, with detection limits between 7 and 250 nM. One molar KCl extracts could be analysed without any sample clean-up or de-salting, and spike and recovery tests indicated that the complex matrix of soil extracts did not affect quantification. Further evidence of the suitability and robustness of the method came from the repeated analysis (n=5) of the same soil KCl extract. The relative standard deviation of migration times for replicate analyses were <0.2% while relative standard deviations for peak areas were <5%. To demonstrate application of the CE-LIF method to real world problems it was used to analyse amino acids in 1 M KCl extracts from a sub-alpine grassland and a Eucalyptus regnans forest. The most abundant amino acids were Ala, Gly and Arg. Other amino acids present at smaller concentrations or in a minority of samples were Asn, Cit, GABA, Glu, His, Phe, Leu, and Lys. The proposed CE-LIF method offers significant advantages over chromatographic methods via its rapidity, reproducibility and, most importantly, its ability to analyse crude KCl extracts.  相似文献

An initial 5% (w/v), followed thereafter with replacement aliquots of 3% (w/v), whey protein isolate (WPI) (ca. 86.98% Kjeldahl N x 6.38), was hydrolyzed using Protease N Amano G (IUB 3.4.24.28, Bacillus subtilis) in an enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR) fitted with either a 10 or 3 kDa nominal molecular weight cutoff (NMWCO) tangential flow filter (TFF) membrane. The hydrolysates were desalted by adsorption onto a styrene-based macroporous adsorption resin (MAR) and washed with deionized water to remove the alkali, and the peptides were desorbed with 25, 50, and 95% (v/v) ethyl alcohol. The desalted hydrolysates were analyzed for antibody binding, free radical scavenging, and molecular mass analysis as well as total and free amino acids (FAA). For the first time a quantity called IC50, the concentration of peptides causing 50% inhibition of the available antibody, is introduced to quantify inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) properties. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used for data reduction. The hydrolysate molecular mass provided the most prominent influence (PC1 = 57.35%), followed by inhibition ELISA (PC2 = 18.90%) and the antioxidant properties (PC3 = 10.43%). Ash was significantly reduced in the desalted fractions; the protein adsorption recoveries were high, whereas desorption with alcohol was prominently influenced by the hydrophobic/ hydrophilic amino acid balance. After hydrolysis, some hydrolysates showed increased ELISA reactivity compared with the native WPI.  相似文献

The effects of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) sources on N utilization and biosynthesis of amino acids were examined in the germinating spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith after exposure to various N substrates,CO2,glucose,and/or root exudates.The N uptake and de novo biosynthesis of amino acids were analyzed using stable isotopic labeling with mass spectrometric detection.High-performance liquid chromatography-based analysis was used to measure amino acid levels.In the absence of exogenous N sources and in the presence of 25 mL L-1 CO2,the germinating AM fungal spores utilized internal N storage as well as C skeletons derived from the degradation of storage lipids to biosynthesize the free amino acids,in which serine and glycine were produced predominantly.The concentrations of internal amino acids increased gradually as the germination time increased from 0 to 1 or 2 weeks.However,asparagine and glutamine declined to the low levels;both degraded to provide the biosynthesis of other amino acids with C and N donors.The availability of exogenous inorganic N (ammonium and nitrate) and organic N (urea,arginine,and glutamine) to the AM fungal spores using only CO2 for germination generated more than 5 times more internal free amino acids than those in the absence of exogenous N.A supply of exogenous nitrate to the AM fungal spores with only CO2 gave rise to more than 10 times more asparagine than that without exogenous N.In contrast,the extra supply of exogenous glucose to the AM fungal spores generated a significant enhancement in the uptake of exogenous N sources,with more than 3 times more free amino acids being produced than those supplied with only exogenous CO2.Meanwhile,arginine was the most abundant free amino acid produced and it was incorporated into the proteins of AM fungal spores to serve as an N storage compound.  相似文献

To obtain information about the extent of the early Maillard reaction between the N-termini of peptides and lactose, alpha-N-(2-furoylmethyl) amino acids (FMAAs) were quantified together with epsilon-N-(2-furoylmethyl)lysine (furosine) in acid hydrolyzates of hypoallergenic infant formulas, conventional infant formulas, and human milk samples using RP-HPLC with UV-detection. FMAAs are formed during acid hydrolysis of peptide-bound N-terminal Amadori products (APs), and furosine is formed from the Amadori products of peptide-bound lysine. Unambiguous identification was achieved by means of LC/MS and UV-spectroscopy using independently prepared reference material. The extent of acid-induced conversion of APs to FMAAs was studied by RP-HPLC with chemiluminescent nitrogen detection (CLND). Depending on the corresponding alpha-N-lactulosyl amino acid, between 6.0% and 18.1% of FMAAs were formed during hydrolysis for 23 h at 110 degrees C in 8 N HCl. From epsilon-N-lactulosyllysine, 50% furosine is formed under these conditions. Whereas furosine was detectable in all assayed samples, five different FMAAs, alpha-FM-Lys, alpha-FM-Ala, alpha-FM-Val, alpha-FM-Ile, and alpha-FM-Leu, were exclusively detected in acid hydrolyzates of hypoallergenic infant formulas in amounts ranging from 35 to 396 mumol/100 g protein. Taking the conversion factors into account, modification of N-terminal amino acids in peptides by reducing carbohydrates was between 0.3% and 8.4%. This has to be considered within the discussion concerning the nutritional quality of peptide-containing foods.  相似文献

A method for the comprehensive analysis of hydrophilic metabolites, based on a combination of high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, is described. We evaluated three types of stationary phases to achieve the separation of highly hydrophilic metabolites. Good chromatographic retention and separation of these metabolites were achieved on a pentafluorophenylpropyl-bonded silica column with gradient elution, using 0.1% aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The optimized conditions allowed the comprehensive determination of the standard 49 kinds of amino acids, 6 kinds of amines, 45 kinds of organic acids, 18 kinds of nucleic bases, 5 kinds of nucleosides, and 14 kinds of nucleotides, and then the linearity, dynamic range, detection limit, and precision of the retention time and the peak area were validated. We applied this method for the targeted analysis of the components in soy sauce. The results from the quantitative determination of amino acids were compared to those obtained with an amino acid analyzer, and the accuracy was in the range between 85 and 119%. The accuracy of other detected components was confirmed to be 105-133% by the recovery rate after the addition of standard compounds. We also applied the method for the nontargeted metabolic profiling of the components in several kinds of soy sauces with the principal component analysis. They were classified by the manufacturing methods, and the components that corresponded to the differences were identified. This method could be useful for the targeted analysis of hydrophilic metabolites as well as their nontargeted metabolic profiling.  相似文献

Raman spectra of amino acids showed complexity in the C-H stretching region (2800-3100 cm(-)(1)) attributed to diversity of CH, CH(2), and CH(3) groups in the side chains, ionization state, and microenvironment. The involvement of specific amino acids in the C-H stretching region of selected proteins, namely, lysozyme, alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, and their binary mixtures, was investigated by deconvolution using maximum likelihood techniques. The main protein band near 2940 cm(-)(1) was attributed not only to aromatic and aliphatic amino acids but also to many other amino acids. A band near 3065 cm(-)(1) was assigned to aromatic residues, whereas bands near 2880 and 2900 cm(-)(1) corresponded primarily to aliphatic amino acids. Heating at 90 degrees C increased relative intensity near 2940 cm(-)(1) and decreased relative intensity at 2895-2902 cm(-)(1) for lysozyme and its mixtures with alpha-lactalbumin or beta-lactoglobulin. Additional bands at 2812 or 2838 and 3003 cm(-)(1) were observed after heating or in 8 M deuterated urea, reflecting changes upon denaturation.  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

Two methods for the investigation of different types of beer by capillary zone electrophoresis are presented. The first separation system described in this work allows the quantitative analysis of beers with respect to their contents of low molecular mass anionic components using indirect ultraviolet detection as well as conductivity detection, providing relative standard deviation between 0.5 and 6.6% for the peak areas and excellent limits of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.02 mg L(-)(1) for chloride to 0.41 mg L(-)(1) for phosphate. The second method offers the possibility of fast determination of amino acids in beer samples without the necessity of any sample pretreatment. LODs obtained for the investigated solutes were found to be strongly dependent on their spectroscopical properties and in the range of 0.5-50 mg L(-)(1). Despite this restriction, this analytical method can be regarded as a suitable tool for the screening of beers with respect to their amino acid patterns.  相似文献
