Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a thin layer chromatography analysis method, in particular to a thin layer chromatography analysis method for quickly identifying chlorella and spirulina. Background Art

[0002] Chlorella is a common single-cell green algae of the genus Chlorella in the Chlorophyta. It is a spherical single-cell freshwater algae with a diameter of 3 to 8 microns. It appeared more than 2 billion years ago and is one of the earliest life on Earth. It is widely distributed all over the world. Chlorella is an efficient photosynthetic plant that grows and reproduces by photosynthesis and autotrophy. It mostly lives in shallow water areas, and there are also marine species. Under natural conditions, there are few individuals of Chlorella, but it can be reproduced in large quantities through artificial cultivation. The cells of Chlorella contain abundant nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, nucleic acids and chlorophyll that are indispensable for maintaining and promoting human health. In particular, the biologically active substances it contains, such as glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and up to 13% of nucleic acids, have the functions of enhancing human immunity, preventing virus proliferation, inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, inhibiting blood sugar rise, lowering serum cholesterol levels, eliminating toxins and quickly repairing body damage. In addition, the CG (Chlorella Growth Factor) rich in Chlorella can quickly restore the damage caused by the body, and can be used as a food flavor improver, and is widely used in the fields of food and fermentation.

[0003] Spirulina, which is shaped like a clockwork and is blue-green in color, is also called blue-green algae. It belongs to the phylum Cyanobacteria, class Cyanobacteria, family Oscillatoriaceae, and genus Spirulina. It has a life history of 3.5 billion years and is an ancient low-level prokaryotic single-cell or multi-cell aquatic plant. Spirulina is the most nutritious and comprehensive organism in nature and is a very good natural food. Spirulina is rich in high-quality protein, γ-linolenic acid fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins, and a variety of trace elements such as iron, iodine, selenium, zinc, etc. It has biological activities such as antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, immunomodulatory and anti-cancer.

[0004] Nowadays, with the rapid development of economy, people's quality of life is constantly improving. In addition to daily food consumption, people are paying more and more attention to the health needs of themselves and their families, and are also paying more and more attention to nutritional balance and health care. Algae not only has a comprehensive nutritional balance, but also has the characteristics of pure natural ingredients. It is known as a "micro-nutrient bank". Therefore, algae has always been a hot product in the field of health and immunity in nature. Among the many algae we know, chlorella and spirulina are supplements with higher nutrition.

[0005] At present, the main detection method for identifying chlorella and spirulina is microscopic identification, which is to distinguish and judge by observing the morphology of chlorella and spirulina under a microscope. Chlorella appears as a round ball under a microscope, and spirulina appears as a spiral ribbon. The above method must be judged by microscopic appearance. When the product is processed into powder, capsules and other different solid forms, or when other products are used to replace chlorella and spirulina, it is impossible to identify, which will have an adverse impact on the market sales of chlorella and spirulina products. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the existing detection method for identifying chlorella and spirulina, which must be judged by microscopic appearance shape. When the product is processed into other different solid forms such as powder, capsule, or other products are used to replace chlorella and spirulina, it is impossible to identify, which in turn has an adverse effect on the market sales of chlorella and spirulina products. A thin layer chromatography analysis method for quickly identifying chlorella and spirulina is provided. The thin layer chromatography analysis method for quickly identifying chlorella and spirulina provided by the present invention is to distinguish the two plants of chlorella and spirulina by the difference in chemical components contained in them, so that the quality can be more effectively checked, and a reliable basis can be provided for the health of users.

[0050] 2) Perform thin layer spotting

[0051] The standard control solutions of Chlorella and Spirulina prepared in step 1.1) and the sample solution to be tested prepared in step 1.2) are sequentially spotted at different positions at the same height on the same silica gel G thin layer plate according to the numbers to form 8 spot origins; and the distance between the spot origin position and the lower edge of the silica gel G thin layer plate is 1.0 to 1.5 cm. In this embodiment, the distance between the spot origin position and the lower edge of the silica gel G thin layer plate is 1.0 cm.

[0052] 3) Preparation of developing agent

[0053] 3.1) Ethyl acetate, formic acid, acetic acid and water are uniformly mixed in a volume ratio of 10-20:0.5-1.5:0.5-1.5:1.5-2.5 to prepare 19 mL of a developing solvent.

In this embodiment, the mass concentration of the sulfuric acid ethanol color developer is 10%; then it is placed on an electric heating plate and heated at 100-110°C for 3 to 5 minutes. In this embodiment, the heating temperature is 105°C; after it is allowed to cool to room temperature, the silica gel G thin layer plate is inspected again under 365nm ultraviolet light to obtain an inspection diagram.

[0061] 5.2) The spots formed by the spotting origins of the sample solutions to be tested (No. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8) on the inspection diagram are compared and analyzed with the spots formed by the spotting origins of the standard control solutions of Chlorella (No. 1) and Spirulina (No. 5).

It can be judged that the samples to be tested No. 2, 3, and 4 are Chlorella, and the samples to be tested No. 6, 7, and 8 are Spirulina. Figure 1 Under the non-color inspection method, the spots between Chlorella and Spirulina are obviously different and easy to identify.

[0064] In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results, a color development inspection was also performed in this embodiment to obtain Figure 2View of the Figure 2 It can be seen that the spots of the samples to be tested No. 2, 3, and 4 are consistent with the spots of No. 1 in quantity and Rf position, and the spots of No. 6, 7, and 8 are consistent with the spots of No. 5 in quantity and Rf. It can be judged that the samples to be tested No. 2, 3, and 4 are Chlorella, and the samples to be tested No. 6, 7, and 8 are Spirulina. Under the color development inspection method, the difference in spots between Chlorella and Spirulina is also very obvious and easy to identify. In the inspection diagram after color development with 10% sulfuric acid ethanol color developer, the distinguishing features of Chlorella and Spirulina are that Chlorella has blue spots at Rf values ​​of 0.1-0.15 and red spots at Rf values ​​of 0.9; Spirulina has blue spots at Rf values ​​of 0.02 and green spots at Rf values ​​of 0.52.
