Direct Analysis of Underivatized Amino Acids in Plant Extracts by LC-MS/MS (Improved Method)
2019
: In this chapter we describe a method for quantification of 20 proteinogenic amino acids by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry which affords neither derivatization nor the use of organic solvents. Analysis of the underivatized amino acids is performed by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) in the positive ESI mode. Separation is achieved on a strong cation exchange (SCX) column (Luna 5 μ SCX 100 A) with 5% acetic acid in water (A) and 75 mM ammonium acetate in water (B). Quantification is accomplished by use of d2-phenylalanine as internal standard achieving limits of detection of 5-50 nM. The method was successfully applied for the determination of proteinogenic amino acids in plant extracts.
