The invention discloses a determination kit and a determination method for the total amount of
free amino acids in tea leaves, and belongs to the technical field of food detection. In order to solve the problems of low detection efficiency, high cost and
large sample demand of the existing method for determining the total amount of
free amino acids in tea leaves, the determination kit provided by the invention comprises a solution A (1 mg / ml
glutamic acid standard solution), a solution B (
phosphate buffer with pH of 8.0) and a solution C (2%
ninhydrin solution containing 0.8 mg / mL stannous
chloride). The corresponding determination method comprises the steps of sample treatment,
dry matter content determination,
standard curve making, sample detection and content calculation. The
microplate reader is adopted for detection, a plurality of samples can be measured at the same time at one time, the detection time is only about 5 min, the required sample amount is only 50 mg, the
reagent dosage is greatly reduced, the detection efficiency is remarkably improved, the detection cost is reduced, and the method is suitable for
rapid detection of a large batch of tea samples and has important significance on tea quality judgment.
