Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food detection, and in particular relates to a method for separating, identifying and quantifying 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in liquor. Background Art

[0002] Luzhou-flavor liquor is an important representative of Chinese liquor. It is deeply favored by consumers for its unique "rich cellar aroma" flavor. As the main force in my country's liquor market, Luzhou-flavor liquor has the widest production and distribution in the country, accounting for about 60% of the liquor market. In-depth research on "cellar aroma" flavor substances is not only the key to revealing the characteristics of Luzhou-flavor liquor, but also an important means to enhance and optimize its flavor. "Cellar aroma" is a typical feature of Luzhou-flavor liquor, which is specifically manifested as a strong, complex aroma with certain aging characteristics. However, although this feature is widely recognized, there are still certain challenges in the analysis of its chemical composition. At present, studies have shown that 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde is the main contributor to "cellar aroma". By combining gas chromatography-mass spectrometry olfaction (GC-MS / O) and standard sensory evaluation methods, researchers have confirmed the key role of this compound in the formation of "cellar aroma". However, the quantitative detection method for this key "cellar aroma" substance is still insufficient, especially in the complex liquor matrix, and achieving efficient and accurate separation and identification remains an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] In the prior art, 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde is difficult to enrich to a sufficient concentration by the existing simple extraction method due to its extremely low concentration in liquor and poor direct extraction effect, making it difficult to achieve accurate detection and quantification. Therefore, how to effectively separate, identify and quantify this key cellar aroma substance in liquor has become a major problem in the current research on the flavor of Luzhou-flavor liquor. When faced with a complex liquor matrix, the existing detection technology has insufficient enrichment capacity for low-concentration substances and cannot meet the needs of accurate analysis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new method to more effectively separate and detect 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in liquor, so as to provide technical support for the flavor research and quality control of Luzhou-flavor liquor. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that when the prior art detects 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde, a key flavor substance that contributes to the cellar aroma in Luzhou-flavor liquor, the enrichment capacity is insufficient, resulting in an inability to accurately analyze.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] The invention provides a method for separating, identifying and quantifying 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in liquor. The method comprises the following steps: diluting a liquor sample to be tested to an alcohol content of 10% to 20%, adding NaCl to saturation, and then adding 3-methylthiobutyraldehyde and a PFBHA derivatization reagent to carry out a derivatization reaction; subsequently adding carbon tetrachloride to carry out vortex extraction and centrifugation, taking a clear liquid to carry out GC-MS analysis; and calculating the substance concentration of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in the liquor sample to be tested according to a standard curve established with a 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde standard product.

[0007] In the above method, the concentration of 3-methylthiobutyraldehyde is 3-6 mg / L, the solvent is ethanol; and the concentration of the PFBHA derivatization reagent is 15-25 g / L.

[0008] Furthermore, the concentration of 3-methylthiobutyraldehyde is 5 mg / L, the solvent is ethanol, and the concentration of the PFBHA derivatization reagent is 20 g / L.

[0009] In the above method, the volume ratio of the wine sample to be tested, 3-methylthiobutyraldehyde and PFBHA derivatization reagent is 90-110:3-5:1.

[0010] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the wine sample to be tested, 3-methylthiobutyraldehyde and PFBHA derivatization reagent is 100:4:1.

[0011] In the above method, the derivatization reaction conditions are 35-50° C. for 25-35 min.

[0012] Furthermore, the derivatization reaction was carried out at 45° C. for 30 min.

[0013] In the above method, the volume ratio of the wine sample to be tested to carbon tetrachloride is 8 to 12:1.

[0014] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the alcohol sample to be tested to carbon tetrachloride is 10:1.

[0015] In the above method, the vortex extraction condition is vortex extraction at a rotation speed of 650 to 750×g for 25 to 45 seconds.

[0016] Furthermore, the vortex extraction was performed at a speed of 701.2×g for 30 seconds.

[0017] In the above method, the centrifugal condition is 3500-4000×g for 10-15 min.

[0018] Furthermore, the centrifugation condition was 3778.8×g for 10 min.

[0019] In the above method, the gas chromatography conditions for GC-MS analysis are as follows: the chromatographic column adopts a DB-WAX capillary column; the carrier gas is He; the constant flow mode has a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min; the split mode is split injection, and the split ratio is 10:1; the injection volume is 1 μL; the injection port temperature is 250°C; the initial temperature is 40°C, increased to 205°C at 10°C / min, and maintained for 5 minutes; then increased to 245°C at 15°C / min, and maintained for 7 minutes.

The method improves the detection sensitivity and accuracy, provides a reliable tool for the quantitative evaluation of flavor substances, and has important scientific research value and application prospects. It also provides theoretical support for the improvement of the flavor of liquor, especially provides technical guidance for the flavor analysis of the "cellar aroma" of Luzhou-flavor liquor, and promotes the practical technology of analyzing some flavor substances in food that are difficult to analyze.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention can be specifically implemented in the following manner.

[0025] Example

[0026] In this example, the PFBHA derivatization method combined with the VSLLME-GC / MS method was used to improve the accuracy of quantitative detection of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in wine samples. The concentration of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in 16 kinds of Luzhou-flavor base wines was determined by the PFBHA derivatization method combined with the VSLLME-GC / MS method. The specific detection method is as follows:

[0027] (1) Construction of standard curve

[0028] The linear regression equation of the standard curve y=ax+b was established by taking the mass concentration ratio of the analyte to the corresponding internal standard in each gradient standard mixed solution as the abscissa (x) and the peak area ratio of their respective quantitative ions as the ordinate (y).

[0029] (2)PFBHA-VSLLME-GC / MS

[0030] Take 5mL of wine sample diluted to 15% in a 10mL centrifuge tube and add 1.2g NaCl to saturation. Then add 200μL 3-methylthiobutyraldehyde (5mg / L, prepared in ethanol) and 50μL PFBHA derivatization reagent (20g / L), and mix by vortexing at room temperature. Derivatize the mixed sample at 45℃ for 30min, add 500μL carbon tetrachloride as the extraction solvent, and vortex extract for 30s at a speed of 701.2×g. Finally, centrifuge at a speed of 3778.8×g for 10min, and take the clear liquid for GC-MS analysis.

[0031] Gas chromatography conditions for GC-MS analysis: chromatographic column using DB-WAX capillary column (30m×0.25mm×0.25μm); carrier gas is He (99.999%); constant flow mode, flow rate is 1.0mL / min; split mode: split injection, split ratio is 10:1; injection volume is 1μL; injection port temperature is 250℃; initial temperature is 40℃, increased to 205℃ at 10℃ / min, maintained for 5min; then increased to 245℃ at 15℃ / min, maintained for 7min;

[0032] The mass spectrometry conditions for GC-MS analysis were as follows: electron impact (EI) source was used; electron energy was 70 eV; full scan mode was used for qualitative analysis; the scanning mass range (m / z) was 45-450 amu; the temperatures of the ion source, quadrupole and transmission line were 230°C, 150°C and 250°C, respectively; selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode was used for quantitative analysis.

[0033] (3) Results analysis

[0034] The reaction flow chart of the derivatization of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde with PFBHA reagent is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in A.

[0035] The MS analysis results show that (see Figure 1 In B), the derivatization reaction of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde was successful. Among them, the characteristic fragment ion at m / z 299 corresponds to the [M + ] ion; in addition, due to the introduction of -NH2- group on PFBHA, the oxygen atom on the carbonyl group of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde is replaced by nitrogen atom, thus converting the characteristic ion fragment from m / z=104 to m / z=102; the characteristic ion fragments of m / z=75 and 61 are attributed to the drop of -C3H7S and -C2H5S functional groups, respectively. Finally, in this embodiment, m / z 102 is selected as the quantitative ion, and m / z 75 and 61 are selected as the qualitative ions, respectively.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown in C, after derivatization, the peak area of ​​3-methylthiopropionaldehyde increased significantly by more than 100 times.

[0037] The concentrations of 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde in 16 liquors were detected according to the above method, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0039]

[0040] In summary, the method of the present invention can significantly reduce the detection limit of 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde, improve its sensitivity, and ensure the efficient and accurate detection of 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde in the wine sample to be tested.
