The present invention relates to a method for rapidly determining the L-
glutamic acid in food. The method comprises:
grinding or
mincing a
solid or semi-
solid sample by using a suitable tool, weighing a proper amount of the grinded or minced sample, adding an appropriate
solvent, homogenizing, carrying out centrifuged separation, and filtering to obtain a free L-
glutamic acid extraction liquid, or carrying out
protein hydrolysis to obtain the L-
glutamic acid extraction liquid constituting the
protein structure (the liquid sample is directly filtered without the pretreatment); properly diluting the
sample extraction liquid, and adjusting the pH value to 8.6; reducing
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD<+>) into
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) in the presence of
glutamate dehydrogenase(GIDH) through the L-glutamic acid of the sample detection liquid, and carrying out a reaction on the NADH and iodonitrotrtrazolium
chloride (INT) under the effect of
diaphorase to generate formazan; and determining the absorption peak of the formazan at 490 nm by using a light-absorption
microplate reader, and calculating the L-glutamic
acid content in the sample according to the absorption value of the formazan by using an external standard method. According to the present invention, the detection method has characteristics of simple operation, good accuracy, fastness, high
throughput, easy popularization, and the like.
