The estimation of ‘available lysine’ in human foods by three chemical procedures

Seventeen test foods were each analyzed by four methods. Total lysine was measured by conventional amino acid analysis. Reactive lysine was measured with either fluorodinitrobenzene, o-phthalaldehyde or a differential dye-binding procedure. The results were then compared with another group's results from rat growth assays of the same samples for availably lysine. A sample of deliberately heat-damaged milk powder gave a rat assay value corresponding to 64% of its total lysine content; other values were all higher and on average 99% for 7 animal products, and 87% for 9 vegetable products. The correlation coefficient between the two sets of values was 0.95. The reactive lysine procedures failed to give a better prediction of the rat values.     

鸡蛋胆固醇含量测定方法比较研究

试验随机选取了中华绿蛋鸡产的绿壳蛋和依莎褐蛋鸡产的褐壳鸡蛋各20枚,采用邻苯二甲醛分光光度计比色法和气相色谱法,测定鸡蛋中胆固醇的含量,比较两种方法在测定鸡蛋胆固醇含量上的差异。结果表明,用邻苯二甲醛比色法测得褐壳蛋蛋黄胆固醇含量176．79mg／枚,浓度为13．35mg／g。用气相色谱法测得胆固醇含量142．74mg／枚,浓度为9．69mg／g,二种方法测定的结果差异显著（P〈0．05）。用邻苯二甲醛比色法测得绿壳蛋蛋黄胆固醇含量158．12mg／枚,浓度为10．65mg／g。用气相色谱法测得胆固醇含量128．70mg／枚,浓度为8．54mg／g,二种方法测定的结果差异显著（P〈0．05）。     

藻红蛋白衍生比率荧光法检测消毒液中邻苯二甲醛

基于R-藻红蛋白(R-PE)与邻苯二甲醛(OPA)的衍生化反应,构建一种新型检测邻苯二甲醛的荧光比率型探针。R-藻红蛋白经十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)去折叠后裸露出伯氨基团,之后在β巯基乙醇存在的碱性环境中,与邻苯二甲醛相互反应衍生出一种蓝色荧光的异吲哚类化合物。在该体系中,随着邻苯二甲醛浓度的增加,R-藻红蛋白本身的荧光信号逐渐减弱,衍生产物的蓝色荧光信号逐渐增强,从而构成了比率型荧光探针。结果表明:在pH 10.5的碳酸盐缓冲条件下,探针的最佳检测时间为3～6 min,线性检测范围为5～100μg/mL,相关系数R~2为0.992,最低检测限为1.7μg/mL。该探针应用于市售洗手液样品测定,加标回收结果满意。
