Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of detection, and in particular relates to a method for detecting the content of active components in plant callus based on microscopic confocal Raman. Background Art

[0002] Raman scattering refers to the phenomenon in which light undergoes a frequency change when it is scattered by molecules passing through a transparent medium. In the scattering spectrum of a transparent medium, the component with the same frequency as the incident light is called Rayleigh scattering. The spectral lines or bands with frequencies symmetrically distributed on either side of the incident light frequency are the Raman spectrum. The components with lower frequencies are called Stokes lines, while the components with higher frequencies are called anti-Stokes lines. Raman spectroscopy has applications in medical testing, food pesticide residue detection, environmental protection, drug analysis, and material property analysis. Each Raman peak in the Raman spectrum has specific molecular bond characteristics, and by generating a specific vibrational fingerprint, molecular identification of the sample can be achieved. Furthermore, by analyzing parameters such as the position, shape, height, width, and area of ​​the Raman peaks and combining them with different algorithms, the molecular content of the sample can be accurately determined.

[0003] Plant callus refers to the newly formed tissue that forms on the surface of a plant body after local trauma (physical injury, pathogenic microbial invasion, etc.). It is composed of parenchyma cells and can theoretically originate from any living plant cell. Currently, plant callus has been successfully applied in food, biopharmaceuticals, agriculture, and cosmetics. However, the quality of plant callus in the market varies widely, fundamentally due to the lack of effective detection methods and means. Traditional assays using reagent extraction not only damage the sample and may cause loss of the analyte during the extraction process, leading to inaccurate results, but are also cumbersome, time-consuming, and not universally applicable.

[0004] Existing methods for detecting active ingredient content using Raman spectroscopy all require extraction and preparation of the sample to be tested, which has common disadvantages such as cumbersome operations, long time consumption, and high requirements for the experimenter's skills. In addition, existing technologies also have the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. Fluorescence Raman Technology

[0006] The disadvantages of this technology include: fluorescence interference, that is, when the fluorescent substance is excited, it will produce a strong fluorescence signal. Other fluorescent substances in the sample may mask or interfere with the Raman signal, resulting in reduced spectrum quality and affecting the analysis results; since many substances may have similar fluorescence properties, this method also has the disadvantage that substances with similar fluorescence properties cannot be distinguished.

[0007] 2. Surface Enhanced Raman (SERS) Technology

[0008] The disadvantages of this technology are: SERS technology requires the preparation of high-quality and uniform metal nanoparticles and strict control of experimental parameters, which makes the experiment difficult and the preparation cost high; currently only gold, silver, copper and a few uncommon alkali metals have a strong SERS effect, and the technology is not suitable for molecules with low vibration frequencies, so its research objects are limited; SERS signals are easily affected by factors such as the shape, size and molecular adsorption mode of nanoparticles, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio.

[0009] 3. UV Raman Technology

[0010] This technology uses higher-energy ultraviolet light to enhance the Raman scattering effect and improve spatial resolution. However, higher energy can easily damage samples, especially living biological samples. Secondly, the laser is more expensive and has higher requirements for filtering (optical lenses).

[0011] Therefore, based on this, the technical solution of the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To address the challenges of existing technologies, the present invention provides a method for detecting the active ingredient content in plant callus tissue using confocal Raman microscopy. This method utilizes confocal Raman microscopy to rapidly and accurately determine the active ingredient content without damaging the sample itself, and visualizes the distribution of the active ingredient content in the sample through pseudo-color imaging.

[0013] The present invention provides a method for detecting the content of active ingredients in plant callus based on microscopic confocal Raman spectroscopy, which comprises the following steps:

[0017] (I-3) Set the Raman spectroscopy excitation power, wavelength range, spectral range, spectral resolution, and integration time;

[0018] (I-4) measuring the gradient standard solution in sequence according to the set parameters and collecting Raman images and spectral data;

[0019] (I-5) applying a mathematical algorithm to the acquired Raman images and spectral data of the standard samples to obtain the Raman peak areas corresponding to the standard samples at different concentrations, and plotting the results into a mathematical model of concentration and peak area;

[0020] (II) Treatment of plant callus and determination of active ingredient content:

[0021] (II-1) Adding agarose to PBS buffer and stirring to dissolve to obtain an agarose solution;

[0022] (II-2) treating the plant callus with an agarose solution, and scanning the entire sample and acquiring Raman images and spectral data according to the parameters set in step (I);

[0023] (II-3) The obtained Raman image and spectral data of the plant callus are sequentially subjected to a mathematical algorithm to obtain the Raman peak area corresponding to the active ingredient to be tested in the plant callus. Then, based on the relationship between the Raman signal of the active ingredient to be tested and the sample concentration, a standard curve is established to obtain the concentration of the active ingredient to be tested in the plant callus.

[0024] The schematic flow diagram of the present invention is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0025] Preferably, in step (I-1):

[0026] The solvent is anhydrous ethanol or methanol;

[0027] and / or, the concentration of the gradient standard solution is 0.0125 mg / mL, 0.025 mg / mL, 0.05 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, 0.15 mg / mL, 0.2 mg / mL;

[0028] And / or, the concentration of the gradient standard solution is 0.01 mg / mL, 0.05 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, 0.15 mg / mL, 0.20 mg / mL.

[0029] Preferably, in step (I-2), a silicon wafer is used as a wavelength calibration standard sample, the silicon wafer is placed on the sample stage of the spectrometer, and the silicon wafer surface is clearly imaged by focusing the microscope; the Raman spectrum of the silicon wafer is collected and compared with the standard peak position of 520.7 cm -1 If the peak position deviation exceeds ±0.5cm -1 , calibration is performed by adjusting parameters such as grating position and optical path delay until the peak position is accurate.

[0030] Preferably, in step (I-3), the Raman spectroscopy excitation power is set to 4-5 mW, the wavelength range is set to 530-800 nm, and the spectral range is set to 400-4000 cm -1 , the spectral resolution is set to 2~5cm -1 , the integration time is set to 8~12 seconds.

[0031] Preferably, in step (I-4), 20 µL of standard solutions of different concentrations are respectively aspirated into a 96-well ELISA plate, and three replicates are set for each concentration. The 96-well ELISA plate is placed on an automatic sample stage, and the sample stage position is adjusted by observing with a low-power microscope so that the sample is located in the center of the field of view. The microscope is then switched to a high-power microscope and the height of the sample stage is fine-tuned. The standard samples are measured sequentially according to the set parameters, and Raman images and spectral data are collected.

[0033] Preferably, in step (II-1), the pH of the PBS buffer is 7-8.

[0034] Preferably, in step (II-2), the plant callus mass is divided into 3-5 mm 3 For small clumps of plant callus tissue, add 1-2 µL of agarose solution in the center of a clean glass slide, quickly place the plant callus tissue clump on the gel, and gently press to partially embed the sample into the gel, ensuring that it is firmly fixed and the sample surface is flat to facilitate subsequent focusing and spectral acquisition; then, according to the parameters set in step (I), perform an overall scan of the sample to be tested and collect Raman images and spectral data.

[0035] Preferably, in step (II-3), the mathematical algorithm includes the Laida criterion, Savitzky-Golay filtering, wavelet transform, baseline calibration and spectral vector normalization.

[0036] Preferably, the detection method further includes step (II-4), wherein step (II-4) is: using a pseudo-color imaging method to map Raman signals of different intensities into different colors, intuitively displaying the distribution of chemical components in the sample, and thereby reconstructing a distribution image of the Raman spectral data in the sample.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0038] This method utilizes microscopic confocal Raman technology, coupling a Raman spectrometer with a standard optical microscope. This allows for observation of sample morphology using a high-magnification objective lens, while also utilizing a microscopic laser spot for Raman analysis. For biological samples (plant callus), near-infrared light (785 nm wavelength) is used, as it minimizes fluorescence interference and exhibits low excitation energy, preventing destructive damage to living biological products. The active ingredient content can be determined by simply cutting the sample into small pieces and placing them in a 1.5% agar droplet. Combined with a confocal microscope, the distribution of the active ingredient within the sample can be accurately determined and visually identified.

[0039] More specific:

[0040] 1. The present invention only requires the sample to be segmented and pre-embedded in 1.5% agarose gel for measurement, which is simple to operate and greatly improves the operability of ordinary operators.

[0041] 2. Due to the interference of fluorescence signals in plant samples, the use of infrared light (785nm) for excitation can effectively suppress or eliminate the interference of fluorescence signals in the sample itself, thus achieving accurate content detection. The excitation power is set to 4.5mW, and the spectral range is 400~4000cm -1 , spectral resolution 2~5cm -1 The selected excitation power is low, which causes minimal damage to biological samples and achieves non-destructive testing; an integration time of 10 seconds can obtain the best signal intensity and the best signal-to-noise ratio, improving the reliability and accuracy of the data.

[0042] 3. The obtained Raman images and spectral data of the standard samples are sequentially subjected to mathematical algorithms such as the Raida criterion, Savitzky-Golay filtering, wavelet transform, baseline calibration, and spectral vector normalization to obtain the Raman peak areas corresponding to standard samples of different concentrations, thereby determining the mathematical model of the active ingredient concentration and Raman peak area.

[0043] 4. The obtained Raman images and spectral data of plant callus tissue were sequentially subjected to mathematical algorithms such as the Raida criterion, Savitzky-Golay filtering, wavelet transform, baseline calibration, spectral vector normalization and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to obtain the Raman peak area corresponding to rutin in the callus tissue. The accurate content of the active ingredient in the plant callus tissue was calculated using the obtained mathematical model of concentration and Raman peak area.

[0044] 5. By quickly scanning the space of 5000μm×5000μm×5000μm of plant callus tissue, spatial Raman images and spectral data are obtained. Through pseudo-color imaging, Raman signals of different intensities are mapped to different colors, which intuitively displays the distribution of chemical components in the sample, thereby reconstructing the distribution image of Raman spectral data in the sample, thereby solving the problem of inaccurate content determination caused by uneven distribution of active ingredients in plant callus tissue.
