Technical Field

[0002] Saumatran, also known as African sucralose, sucralose protein, or tamarind, is classified as sweetener 957 in the International Food Additives Code. It boasts numerous advantages, including being natural, low in calories, safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable into essential amino acids. Its sweetness is approximately 1600 times that of the same weight of sucrose, and its sweetness threshold is extremely low, even when diluted to 10%. -8 Its sweetness can still be perceived even at mol / L. Its main uses are enhancing aroma, modifying unpleasant flavors, providing a good mouthfeel, and synergistic effects with other ingredients. Currently, the total permitted levels of sematrandine in food are 0.5–300 mg / kg.

The molecular weight of sematrandine is approximately 2.1 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Based on known amino acids, the molecular weight of sematrandine I is calculated to be 22209 g / mol, and the molecular weight of sematrandine II is 22293 g / mol.

[0052] 2.1 Pretreatment of general food samples 2.1.1 Optimization of extraction solvent General food samples: beverages, orange juice, hard candy, powdered sugar, ketchup, jam, betel nuts, and biscuits. Hard candy, betel nuts, and biscuits should be crushed before use.

[0053] Extraction solvents: 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution, 0.2 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution, 1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution or 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution.

[0054] Extraction solvents of trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution and 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution at different concentrations were used. The mixtures were vortexed and a recovery experiment was conducted to compare the recovery rates of sematrandrolite extracted by room temperature ultrasonication in different extracts. The specific experimental steps are as follows: Weigh 2 g (accurate to 0.001 g) of food sample into a 15 mL stoppered centrifuge tube, add 5 mL of extraction solvent, vortex and mix, ultrasonically extract for 10 min, centrifuge at 14000 r / min for 10 min, and collect the supernatant. Repeat the extraction once with 5 mL of extraction solvent, centrifuge at 14000 r / min for 10 min, and collect the supernatant. Combine the two supernatants as the extract. The recovery rates of sematrandrolite under different extraction solvents are shown in Table 5.

[0055] Table 5. Recovery rates (%) of semastem using different extraction solvents.

[0056] Results: Trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution was superior to 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution in terms of extraction efficiency and applicability. The content of trifluoroacetic acid in aqueous solution had little effect on the extraction rate of the target compound semathymide. Finally, 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution was selected as the extraction solvent for subsequent experiments.

[0057] 2.1.2 Optimization of extraction time The positive samples (sugar powder, areca nut 1#, areca nut 2#, areca nut 3#, areca nut 4#, and areca nut 5#) were tested using a 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution. The extract was prepared according to 2.1.1, with ultrasonic extraction times of 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min, respectively. The effect of ultrasonic extraction time (5~15 min) on the extraction rate of the target compound semathymide was compared, and the results are shown in Table 6.

[0058] Table 6. Test values ​​(mg / kg) of sematrandole at different extraction times in 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution.

[0059] Results: After ultrasonic extraction for more than 10 minutes, the test value of semathymide in the sample no longer changed significantly. Therefore, an ultrasonic extraction time of 10 minutes was finally selected for subsequent experiments.

[0060] 2.2 Pretreatment of High-Protein Food Samples The target compound, sematrandine, is a large protein molecule. During the removal of matrix proteins using methods such as potassium ferrocyanide and zinc acetate precipitation, sematrandine aggregates and cannot be recovered. For high-protein food samples that can be removed by centrifugation, centrifugation is used to remove insoluble matter. For samples with poor centrifugation results, the sample weight should be reduced or filtration with glass fiber filter paper should be performed. If the sample is viscous, the amount of 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution can be increased. If filtration with glass fiber filter paper is performed, the filter paper should be rinsed with 2 mL of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid solution after two extractions.

[0061] The specific steps are as follows: Weigh 2g (accurate to 0.001g) of food sample into a 15mL stoppered centrifuge tube, add 10mL of extraction solvent, vortex to mix, extract ultrasonically for 20min, centrifuge at 14000r / min for 10min, and collect the supernatant. Add 5mL of extraction solvent and repeat the extraction once, centrifuge at 14000r / min for 10min, collect the supernatant, and combine the two supernatants as the extract.

[0062] 2.2.1 Optimization of extraction solvent High-protein food samples: milkshakes, reconstituted milk, ice cream, milk powder.

[0063] Extraction solvent: 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution or 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution.

[0064] The content of trifluoroacetic acid in aqueous solution has little effect on the extraction efficiency of the target compound. Extraction was performed using 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution and 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution, respectively, under isothermal ultrasonic extraction. Addition and recovery experiments were conducted to compare the recovery rate of sematrandil in high-protein samples. The specific steps are as follows: 2g (accurate to 0.001g) of food sample was defatted with 10mL of n-hexane, 20mL of extraction solvent was added, and the mixture was ultrasonically extracted at room temperature for 20min. The mixture was filtered through glass fiber filter paper, and the glass fiber filter paper was washed with 3mL of extraction solvent to obtain the first liquid component and the solid component. The solid component was mixed with 15mL of extraction solvent, and ultrasonically extracted at room temperature for 20min. The mixture was filtered through glass fiber filter paper, and the glass fiber filter paper was washed with 2mL of extraction solvent to obtain the second liquid component. The first and second liquid components were combined as the extraction solution. The extraction solvents were 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution and 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution, respectively.

[0065] The recovery rates of semastem under different extraction solvents are shown in Table 7.

[0066] Table 7. Recovery rates (%) of sematrandrine with different extraction solvents

[0067] Results: High-protein samples showed better extraction efficiency when 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid solution was used as the extraction solvent.

[0068] 2.2.2 Optimization of extraction time Following the experimental procedure in 2.2.1, the positive sample milkshake was tested using a 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution to compare the effect of ultrasonic extraction time (5~25 min) on the extraction efficiency of the target analyte. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0070] Results: After ultrasonic extraction for more than 20 minutes, the test value of semathy in high-protein samples no longer changed significantly. Therefore, the ultrasonic extraction time of 20 minutes was finally selected.

[0071] 2.3 High-fat food samples 2.3.1 Optimization of Extraction Solvent High-fat samples: chocolate, walnuts, hot pot ingredients, sandwich cookies, cakes.

[0072] Extraction solvent: 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution or 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution.

[0073] High-oil samples were dissolved in n-hexane. Experiment 2.1 showed that the content of trifluoroacetic acid in the aqueous solution had little effect on the extraction efficiency of the target compound. Extraction was performed by ultrasonic extraction in a water bath using either 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution or 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution. After centrifugation, the organic phase was discarded. The recovery rate of thomaline was compared. The specific steps are as follows: 2 g (accurate to 0.001 g) of food sample was mixed with 20 mL of extraction solvent and ultrasonically extracted at room temperature for 20 min. Centrifugation was performed at 14000 r / min for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected to obtain the first liquid component and the solid component. The solid component was mixed with 15 mL of extraction solvent and ultrasonically extracted at room temperature for 20 min. Centrifugation was performed at 14000 r / min for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected to obtain the second liquid component. The first and second liquid components were combined as the extract. The extraction solvents were 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution and 60 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution, respectively.

[0074] The results are shown in Table 9.

[0075] Table 9. Recovery rates (%) of semastem using different extraction solvents

[0076] Results: Semamate extraction was better when 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid solution was used as the extraction solvent.

[0077] 2.3.2 Optimization of extraction time Following the experimental procedure in 2.3.1, a 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution was used to conduct experiments on the positive sample dried fruit (commercially available flavored almonds) to compare the effect of ultrasonic extraction time (5~25 min) on the extraction efficiency of the target substance. The results are shown in Table 10.

[0078] Table 10. Test values ​​(mg / kg) of sematrandole at different extraction times in 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution.

[0079] Results: After ultrasonic extraction for more than 20 minutes, the test value of sematrandine in high-oil samples no longer changed significantly. Therefore, the ultrasonic extraction time of 20 minutes was finally selected.

[0080] 3. Selection of purification conditions Sample solution: 5 mL of 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution containing 0.5 mg sematrandezine.

[0081] 3.1 Optimization of Solid Phase Extraction Column Literature reports on the purification of sematrandrolone indicate that solid-phase extraction (SPE) or ultrafiltration can be used, although ultrafiltration is time-consuming. For additive purification, SPE is frequently used in relevant standards, with C18, PEP, and MCX columns being the most common. C18 columns are known for their ability to remove impurities. This study investigates the limits for sematrandrolone in food products both domestically and internationally, and their detection capabilities using liquid chromatography. This invention purifies and concentrates the sample solution simultaneously. Using a 25% ammonia-methanol solution as the eluent, the extract is purified and enriched using Hypersep Retain PEP and cationic retain CX columns, respectively. The eluent is collected, and after nitrogen purging to remove ammonia, it is diluted to 2 mL with methanol to obtain the purified solution. Before use, the Hypersep Retain PEP and cationic retain CX columns are activated sequentially with 5 mL of methanol and 5 mL of water, respectively. The SPE results for different columns are shown in Table 11.

[0082] Table 11 Recovery rates (%) of sematran under different SPE solid-phase extraction columns

[0083] Results: Both the PEP column and the cation retain CX column showed no flow-through and good retention of the target analyte, with the PEP column showing better recovery.

[0084] 3.2 Optimization of eluent for solid phase extraction columns Using Hypersep Retain PEP solid-phase extraction columns, the elution effects of different eluents (2~60 v / v% ammonia-methanol) were investigated to assess the solubility of sematrandrolone. The relevant recovery rates are shown in Table 12.

[0085] Table 12 Recovery rates of sematran with different elution solvents

[0086] Results: The elution effect of 25-35% ammonia-methanol solution was better. Considering the amount of ammonia used, the present invention selected 25% ammonia-methanol solution as the eluent.

[0087] 4. Enzymatic hydrolysis of semaprotein The purified solution obtained in "3. Selection of Purification Conditions" was enzymatically digested using the SMART Digest trypsin kit. The specific steps are as follows: The purified solution was placed in a 1.5 mL low-protein adsorption centrifuge tube, and 10 μL of liquid trypsin and 140 μL of buffer were added. After mixing, the solution was placed at enzymatic digestion temperatures of 30℃, 60℃, 70℃, and 90℃ for 30 min, 40 min, and 50 min, respectively. The digested solution was then transferred to a solid-phase extraction column (SOLA μHRP solid-phase extraction column, 2 mg / 1 mL). After the sample solution had completely eluted, it was washed with 500 μL of 0.1 v / v% formic acid-water. After the liquid in the column had completely drained, it was eluted with 50 μL of 0.1 v / v% formic acid-70 v / v% acetonitrile-water solution. The eluent was collected and filtered through a 0.45 μm organic phase filter membrane to obtain the sample solution for testing. Before use, the solid-phase extraction column was activated sequentially with 500 μL of acetonitrile and 500 μL of 0.1 v / v% formic acid solution, and the effluent was discarded under negative pressure. The semathymide recovery results are shown in Table 13.

[0088] Table 13 Recovery rate of semaster under different enzymatic hydrolysis conditions

[0089] As shown in Table 13, the recovery rate of sematrandrine was highest when the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature was 70℃. This invention performs enzymatic hydrolysis at 70℃, simultaneously denaturing the protein and cleaving it, thus significantly improving the recovery rate of sematrandrine.

[0090] 5. Liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry / mass spectrometry detection The sample solution was analyzed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry / mass spectrometry to obtain the detection results of semathys.

[0091] Figure 1 The full scan chromatogram of the semaphore hydrolysate obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis at 60℃ for 50 min shows that, by analyzing the high-resolution mass spectrometry data using the proteomics software Proteome Discoverer 3.0 and the semaphore protein structure, characteristic peptide sequence information was obtained (Table 3). One peptide is unique to semaphore I, one peptide is unique to semaphore II, and the remaining three peptides are shared by semaphore I and semaphore II.

[0092] 6. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry / Mass Spectrometry Detection The sample solution was analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) to obtain the detection results of semamate. The acquisition parameters for the two characteristic peptides with high response values ​​were optimized using TSQULtra LC-MS / MS tune software; the optimization results are shown in Table 4. Measurements were performed under optimized conditions, and the total ion chromatogram and mass spectrum of the semamate characteristic peptides were obtained. Figure 2 The ion chromatogram and mass spectrum of the common characteristic peptide FGRPPTTLAEFSLNQYGK of semathys I and semathys II are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 3 The ion chromatogram and mass spectrum of DYIDISNIK, a common characteristic peptide of semaphore I and semaphore II, are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 4 From Table 4 and Figures 2-4 As can be seen, the characteristic peptide sequence information was obtained (Table 3), one of which is a unique peptide of samamethoxam I. The common peptides FGRPPTTLAEFSLNQYGK and DYIDISNIK of samamethoxam I and samamethoxam II were detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry / mass spectrometry.

[0093] Example 2 Methodological Validation 1. Specificity test The 0.1 v / v% formic acid-acetonitrile, 0.1 v / v% formic acid-water and 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution were detected under the detection conditions of high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that there was no interference from the above solutions, indicating that the method has high specificity.

[0094] 2. Linear range Preparation of 100% semaphore standard enzymatic hydrolysate: Semaphore was dissolved in 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution to obtain a semaphore stock solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL. The semaphore stock solution was serially diluted with 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution to obtain semaphore solutions with concentrations of 0.001 mg / mL, 0.05 mg / mL, 0.1 mg / mL, 0.2 mg / mL, 0.3 mg / mL, 0.4 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, and 0.8 mg / mL. Using 25% ammonia-methanol solution as the elution solvent, the semaphore solutions with concentrations from 0.0001 to 1 mg / mL were purified using a Hypersep Retain PEP solid-phase extraction column to obtain purified solutions. The purified solutions were then enzymatically hydrolyzed according to the semaphore protein enzymatic hydrolysis method described in Example 2, Section 4, to obtain the semaphore standard enzymatic hydrolysate. The detection was performed according to the detection conditions of high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The enzyme digests of each samaram standard were measured separately. A standard curve was established with the concentration of the samaram standard enzyme digest as the abscissa and the corresponding peak area as the ordinate. The results showed that the linearity was good in the concentration range of 1~1000 mg / L.

[0095] 3. Precision Preparation of semamate standard enzymatic hydrolysate: Soak semamate was dissolved in 0.1 v / v% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous solution to obtain a semamate solution with a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL. The semamate solution was purified using a Hypersep Retain PEP solid-phase extraction column with 25% ammonia-methanol solution as the elution solvent to obtain a purified solution. The purified solution was then enzymatically hydrolyzed according to the semamate protein enzymatic hydrolysis method described in Example 2, Section 4, to obtain the semamate standard enzymatic hydrolysate.

[0096] The semaphore standard enzymatic hydrolysate was repeatedly detected 6 times under the detection conditions of high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The RSD was 1.4%, indicating that the detection method provided by the present invention has high precision.

[0097] 4. Spike recovery rate Recovery and precision experiments were conducted using negative sample spiking recovery experiments (n=6), with orange juice, powdered sugar, tomato sauce, areca nut, biscuits, milk powder, and walnut kernels used as negative samples. Spiking recovery experiments were performed at three concentration levels (25 mg / kg, 50 mg / kg, and 100 mg / kg), with pretreatment performed under the optimal pretreatment conditions described in Examples 2-3. Each concentration level was replicated six times. The average recovery rate and relative standard deviation are shown in Table 14. The average recovery rate of sematrandine in the seven matrices of general food samples, high-protein food samples, and high-fat food samples was 92.1-99.2%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) below 4.1%, indicating high accuracy and precision. This demonstrates that the detection method provided by this invention is feasible for the analysis and detection of sematrandine in food samples.
