| Abstract: | A flow injection spectrophotometric procedure with enzymatic hydrolysis was developed for determination of orthophosphate, phytate and total phosphorus in cereal samples. Phosphorus species were extracted from cereals with 0.05 mol L(-1) potassium hydrogen phthalate buffer solution at pH 5.7. Orthophosphate was directly determined in the extracts by molybdenum blue spectrophotometric method. The phytate was hydrolyzed by the enzyme phytase coupled to a solid phase packed into an enzymatic reactor, and the resulting hydrolyzed orthophosphate was also determined by spectrophotometry at 650 nm. After optimization for phosphorus species extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis, a linear calibration graph was obtained up to 196 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) orthophosphate (P conc = -2.67 + 0.52x, r = 0.9998). Measurements are characterized by relative standard deviation of 1.6% for a standard of 72 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) orthophosphate and no baseline drift was observed during 4 h operation periods. It provides 72 measurements per hour, with 2.4 x 10(-)6) mol L(-1) and 7.9 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) as detection and quantification limits, respectively. |
