AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for detecting rhamnolipid content have poor specificity and low sensitivity, cannot be directly quantified, and are complex to operate, making it difficult to accurately detect multi-component mixtures.
HPLC-MS and HPLC-CAD methods were used, with trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution and trifluoroacetic acid-containing acetonitrile solution as mobile phases for gradient elution. Combined with self-made rhamnolipin standards, the peak positions of each component were qualitatively analyzed by HPLC-MS, the peak areas were determined by HPLC-CAD, and the concentrations were calculated using the linear external standard method.
It improves the specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of detection, simplifies the pretreatment process, reduces operational complexity and improves the reproducibility of detection.
