Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for quantitatively detecting the contents of five selenium forms in tea leaves, and belongs to the field of analysis and testing. Background Art

[0002] At present, the only method standard for detecting the content of selenium forms is "High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry for the Determination of Five Selenium Forms in Agricultural Products" (GH / T1429-2023) issued by the China National Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives. This standard is mainly used for analysis and testing of agricultural products such as grains, fruits and vegetables. However, for tea, due to its unique cell structure, it is not suitable for this standard. When this standard is used for extraction and testing, the content of selenium forms extracted is low, and the extraction rate is low. Compared with the extraction rate of conventional grains and fruit and vegetable samples, there is a large gap, and the accuracy of the test results is questionable. . Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for quantitatively detecting the content of selenium forms in tea, to perform targeted pretreatment on tea samples, to optimize the detection method, to reduce experimental errors, and to improve detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0004] The standard selenium form solution and tea sample enzymatic hydrolyzate were detected by high performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and the tetravalent selenium (Se4+), hexavalent selenium (Se6+), selenomethionine (SeMet), methylselenocysteine ​​(SeMeCys) and selenocystine (SeCys2) in the samples were quantitatively analyzed by normalization method. The contents of the five selenium forms in the samples were obtained by calculation, which includes the following steps:

[0005] (1) Sample preparation: cleaning, freeze-drying, grinding and sieving of tea samples;

[0006] (2) Sample treatment: Add cellulase solution and protease solution to the sample to be tested, shake and sonicate, enzymolyze overnight, extract and centrifuge, concentrate and re-dissolve,

[0007] (3) Instrument configuration: High performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were used to detect the selenium form of the sample.

[0008] (4) Preparation of mobile phase: ammonium salt solution and methanol are prepared into methanol-diammonium citrate buffer, and formic acid is used to adjust the pH. The mobile phase is filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane and ultrasonically degassed to obtain a mobile phase;

[0009] (5) Data processing: The normalization method was used to quantitatively analyze tetravalent selenium (Se4+), hexavalent selenium (Se6+), selenomethionine (SeMet), methylselenocysteine ​​(SeMeCys) and selenocysteine ​​(SeCys2) in the samples.

[0010] Furthermore, the freeze-drying in step (1) is performed by vacuum freeze-drying at -80°C, and the freeze-drying time is 12 to 24 hours, preferably 24 hours.

[0011] Furthermore, the grinding and pulverizing in step (1) is performed using a grinding pestle under liquid nitrogen conditions.

[0012] Furthermore, the sieving in step (1) is performed using a 60-100 mesh sieve, preferably a 100 mesh sieve.

[0013] Furthermore, the cellulase content in the cellulase solution in step (2) is 0.1% to 0.5%, preferably 0.4%, which is beneficial to the enzymatic hydrolysis of the tea sample.

[0014] Furthermore, the protease content in the protease solution in step (2) is 0.1% to 0.5%, preferably 0.4%. This optimization is beneficial to the enzymatic hydrolysis of selenium forms in the tea sample and the separation of the five selenium forms.

[0015] Furthermore, the oscillation ultrasound in step (2) is ultrasound at 37°C for 30 minutes, and then the ultrasound is followed by shaking overnight at 37°C and 200 rpm for 12 to 24 hours, preferably 12 hours, which is conducive to the accuracy of the test results.

[0016] Furthermore, the extraction in step (2) uses dichloromethane as the extraction liquid.

[0017] Furthermore, the normalization method in step (5) is mainly as follows: according to the positive proportional relationship between the content of each component in the sample and its peak area detected by the HPLC-ICP MS coupling device, all components in the sample can generate signals, corresponding chromatographic peaks can be obtained, and the corresponding morphology can be known from the retention time of each component, thereby the content of each component can be calculated using the normalization formula.

[0018] Compared with the existing detection technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present invention optimizes and adjusts the pretreatment method of tea samples, and uses HPLC-ICP MS to detect the selenium forms of samples, so as to qualitatively determine the selenium forms in the samples; and quantitatively determine the selenium forms in the samples by normalization. The method is simple and fast, reduces experimental errors, and improves detection efficiency and accuracy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
