AbstractThe simple extraction of flours samples followed by free amino acids determination procedures was studied and optimised. The conditions of amino acids derivatisation reaction with ninhydrin for chromatographic determination of free amino acids sum was discussed. The developed method was processed in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, and limits of detection and quantification. Moreover, capillary isotachophoresis and HPLC methods were applied for individual free amino acids determination. The proposed extraction procedure is simple, fast and convenient for different flours samples. Studied procedures were used for free amino acids determination in twelve gluten-free flour samples (corn, oat, soy, rice, pumpkin, millet, peanut, hemp seed, buckwheat, amaranth, pea and chickpea) and the obtained results were compared with wheat flour.

Abstract Modifications were made to AOAC Official MethodSM 999.15 to extend its applicability to specialty infant formulas containing hydrolyzed proteins and free amino acids, and to medical and adult nutritional products. Minor changes to the sample preparation procedure and chromatographic separation improved vitamin K1 recoveries and reduced chromatographic interferences in these types of matrixes. Currently AOAC Method 999.15 is applicable only to the determination of total vitamin K1 (phylloquione) in infant formula and milk (fluid, ready-to-feed, and powdered) containing >1 g vitamin K1/100 g solids. AOAC Method 999.15 recoveries of vitamin K1 were improved by altering sample sizes, extraction solvents and amounts, and the reagent addition order and amount of water or aqueous solutions added. The chromatographic separation of vitamin K1 in medical nutritional products containing canola and marine oils was improved, and trans vitamin K1 was separated from the biologically inactive cis isomer in all products with a C30 3 m column and a 100 methanol mobile phase. With these modifications to the extraction procedure and chromatographic separation, AOAC Method 999.15 demonstrated acceptable precision and accuracy for the quantitation of trans vitamin K1 in specialty infant formulas containing hydrolyzed proteins and free amino acids, and medical and adult nutritional products. A single-laboratory validation of these minor modifications was completed. Fourteen different product matrixes were analyzed during validation. The intermediate precision averaged 4.15 RSD (range 2.525.81 RSD), and recovery data averaged 100.1 (range 92.2109).

Abstract We studies five methods for extracting amino acids from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Both the use of cell lysis and of a deproteinizing agent interfere with quantitative determination of the amino acids, basic amino acids being the most sensitive to the extraction procedure. Among the methods used, disruption of the cells by freezing-thawing is the best method for extracting all the amino acids. Taurine is the only amino acid extracted in the same amount by all the methods studied, and it represents half of the intracellular pool.
