Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical detection, and particularly relates to a method for detecting Macleaya cordata alkaloids. Background Art
[0002] Macleaya cordata alkaloids are a class of natural nitrogen-containing organic compounds extracted mainly from the Macleaya cordata plant and belong to the isoquinoline alkaloid family. Macleaya cordata alkaloids have certain toxicity and can damage organs such as the heart. Macleaya cordata extracts are used as botanical pesticides in some areas (such as to control vegetable aphids). Testing Macleaya cordata alkaloids can ensure that alkaloid residues in agricultural products (such as vegetables and fruits) do not exceed the standard and prevent them from entering the human body through the food chain. There are also some businesses that may illegally add Macleaya cordata alkaloids to health foods (such as claiming "antibacterial and detoxification" effects). Testing Macleaya cordata alkaloids can identify illegal ingredients and prevent consumers from long-term intake causing cumulative toxicity (such as liver damage and reproductive toxicity).
[0003] Methods for determining the content of Macleaya cordata alkaloids include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and acid dye colorimetry. The HPLC method uses total alkaloids (sanguinarine, chelerythrine, protopine, and allocryptine) as a quality marker for Macleaya cordata, but suffers from drawbacks such as complex operation, high cost, and slow detection. The acid dye colorimetry method uses papaverine as a standard and requires the preparation of a color developer, buffer, and extractant, resulting in cumbersome operation, poor reproducibility, and low stability.
[0004] Currently, there is a lack of a simple and rapid detection method for Macleaya cordata alkaloids, which can better lower the detection threshold, improve industry efficiency and ensure product quality. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the problem of lack of a simple and rapid detection method for Macleaya cordata alkaloids, the present invention aims to provide a detection method for Macleaya cordata alkaloids.
[0006] This is achieved specifically through the following technical solutions:
[0007] The detection of Macleaya cordata alkaloids is achieved through three steps: extraction of Macleaya cordata alkaloids, drawing of standard curve, and sample determination. The three steps are:
[0008] A method for detecting Macleaya cordata alkaloids specifically comprises the following steps:
[0009] (1) Extraction of alkaloids from Macleaya cordata: Accurately weigh a powder sample of Macleaya cordata fruit or Macleaya cordata leaf and place it in a container. Add a strong acid-alcohol solution for extraction, then heat it in a microwave reactor. After heating, take it out and let it cool to room temperature before filtering. The residue is washed three times with a strong acid-alcohol solution. The filtrate and the washing solution are transferred together to a volumetric flask and fixed to volume with a strong acid-alcohol solution to obtain the Macleaya cordata extract.
[0010] (2) Plotting the standard curve: Dissolve the alkaloid standard in a strong acid-alcohol solution, transfer to a volumetric flask, and then dilute to volume to make a 400 μg / mL standard stock solution. Accurately pipette 2.50 mL of the stock solution and transfer to a 25 mL volumetric flask. Then, accurately pipette 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and 5.00 mL of the diluted solution to a 25 mL volumetric flask. Scan the spectrum using the solvent as a reference and measure the absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength of 265-285 nm to plot the absorbance-concentration curve.
[0011] (3) Sample determination: Accurately pipette 0.50 mL of the Macleaya cordata extract from (1) into a 25 mL volumetric flask, add the corresponding extractant to the volume, and measure the absorbance at the maximum absorption wavelength using the extractant as a reference. Repeat 3 times. The Macleaya cordata alkaloid extraction rate is calculated as follows:
[0012]
[0013] Wherein: ω1 is the extraction rate (%); c is the concentration of Macleaya cordata alkaloids in the extract (μg / mL); V is the final volume of the extract (mL); N is the dilution multiple; m is the mass of Macleaya cordata powder (g).
[0014] The mass ratio of the powder of Macleaya cordata fruit or Macleaya cordata leaf to the strong acid-alcohol solution is 1:30 to 1:200.
[0015] The heating temperature in the microwave reactor is 60° C. to 80° C., and the heating time is 5 to 15 minutes.
[0016] The strong acid-alcohol solution described in (1) refers to one, two or three of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, and the total acid concentration is 0.05 to 0.2 mol / L in terms of hydrogen ions.
[0017] The strong acid-alcohol solution described in (1) refers to a solution obtained by mixing one or both of methanol and ethanol with water, with the ratio of alcohol to water being 8:2-2:8.
[0018] The alkaloid standard described in (2) is a mixture of one or more of sanguinarine, chelerythrine, protopine, and allocryptine.
[0019] The maximum absorption wavelength mentioned in (3) refers to the wavelength of light used when measuring absorbance in the ultraviolet region in ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, which ranges from 265 to 285 nm.
