The invention provides a method for detecting
free amino acids in camellia oleosa seed oil, and establishes a method for detecting the
free amino acids in the camellia oleosa seed oil based on ultra-
high performance liquid chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS / MS), which comprises the following steps: pre-treating various amino acids in the camellia oleosa seed oil by using a non-
derivation method; the problems of complicated operation,
impurity interference and the like caused by
derivatization are avoided, the extraction
solvent is environment-friendly and economical, the extraction efficiency is high, and the pretreatment time is greatly shortened; then selecting a proper
chromatographic column and a mobile phase, separating a plurality of
free amino acids under the condition of not introducing excessive
derivatization agents and
ion pair reagents, and controlling the
collection time to be 12 minutes. The method for detecting the free amino acids in the camellia oleosa seed oil has the characteristics of no need of
derivatization treatment, simplicity and convenience in operation, high detection efficiency and good sensitivity and accuracy, and can effectively separate and detect 14 free amino acids such as
alanine,
phenylalanine and
aspartic acid in the camellia oleosa seed oil.
