Description

游離葉黃素、游離玉米黃質之檢驗方法Testing methods for free lutein and free zeaxanthin

本發明係有關於一種游離葉黃素、游離玉米黃質之檢驗方法,尤其是利用前處理及萃取技術,藉高效液相層析儀,搭載X橋式管柱,而以水、乙腈作為移動相,並分別使用不同的溶劑濃度梯度進行沖提,最後分別得到游離型的葉黃素、玉米黃質的標準曲線,並藉備製樣品而製成測試液,再利用高效液相層析儀檢測樣品中葉黃素、玉米黃質的停留時間以及波峰面積,進而參考標準曲線以獲得葉黃素、玉米黃質的濃度,很適用於家禽產業蛋黃、食品及保健食品中游離葉黃素、玉米黃質的含量分析。The present invention relates to a method for testing free lutein and free zeaxanthin, especially by utilizing pre-treatment and extraction technology, using a high-performance liquid chromatograph equipped with an X-bridge column, and using water and acetonitrile as mobile phase, and used different solvent concentration gradients for elution, and finally obtained the standard curves of free lutein and zeaxanthin respectively, and prepared the samples to make test solutions, and then used high-performance liquid chromatography Detect the residence time and peak area of lutein and zeaxanthin in the sample, and then refer to the standard curve to obtain the concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin. It is very suitable for free lutein and corn in egg yolks, food and health foods in the poultry industry. Xanthin content analysis.

眾所周知,蛋黃中的葉黃質(xanthophylls)和胡蘿蔔素(carotene)是蛋黃紅色跟黃色色素的良好來源,其中葉黃素(lutein)、玉米黃質(Zeaxanthin)皆屬於葉黃質一種,不僅能夠提供蛋黃色素且具有抗氧化、增強免疫功能及預防人類視網膜病變等多種功能。As we all know, xanthophylls and carotene in egg yolks are good sources of red and yellow pigments in egg yolks. Among them, lutein and zeaxanthin are both a type of xanthophylls, which not only can It provides egg yolk pigment and has many functions such as antioxidant, enhancing immune function and preventing human retinopathy.

再者,人類對葉黃素和玉米黃質的生物可利用率會依來源而產生差異,目前已知食用富含葉黃素的雞蛋較其他補充品或菠菜的利用率較高,換言之,雞蛋是最好提供葉黃素的天然補充食品。Furthermore, the bioavailability of lutein and zeaxanthin to humans varies depending on the source. It is currently known that consumption of eggs rich in lutein is more efficient than other supplements or spinach. In other words, eggs are the most It is good to provide natural supplementary food of lutein.

由於天然類葉黃素含有羥基(hydroxyl group),常與脂肪酸鍵結形成酯鍵因而,將葉黃素及玉米黃素型態分成二種:游離型(free form)及酯化型(ester form)。而酯化的葉黃質或胡蘿蔔素在被吸收前必須經過皂化後轉化為,才得以被吸收。然而,市售雞蛋所含之葉黃素型態標示不明確,在這一情況下,會造成消費者花錢購買宣告富含高含量之葉黃素,卻未能有效吸收而感到困惑,因而限制高品質雞蛋的市場機制,若能建立有效且快速地將游離型的葉黃素、玉米黃質定性與定量,並標示明確是非常必須的。Since natural lutein contains a hydroxyl group, it often bonds with fatty acids to form ester bonds. Therefore, the forms of lutein and zeaxanthin are divided into two types: free form and ester form. ). The esterified lutein or carotene must be saponified and converted into lutein before it can be absorbed. However, the type of lutein contained in commercially available eggs is not clearly labeled. In this case, consumers will spend money to buy products that are declared to be rich in high levels of lutein, but they will not be able to effectively absorb them and become confused. Therefore, In order to restrict the market mechanism of high-quality eggs, it is very necessary to establish an effective and rapid identification and quantification of free lutein and zeaxanthin, and to clearly label them.

在習知技術中,中國畜牧學會在中國畜牧學會會誌 45(1):1~12, 2016的標題為” 蛋雞飼料添加金盞花萃取物對蛋黃顏色和葉黃素濃度之影響”之研究報告中指出,利用高效液相層析儀(high performance liquid chromatography,HPLC)以搭配管柱(Phenomenex C18 250*4.6 mm),並在柱溫30℃下以檢測葉黃素、玉米黃質。In the known technology, the Chinese Animal Husbandry Society published a research report titled "The Effect of Adding Calendula Extract to Laying Hen Feed on Egg Yolk Color and Lutein Concentration" in Journal of the Chinese Animal Husbandry Society 45(1): 1~12, 2016 It is pointed out that high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used with a column (Phenomenex C18 250*4.6 mm), and the column temperature is 30°C to detect lutein and zeaxanthin.

此外,在食品藥物研究年報中,5 : 17-25 2014 Ann. Rept. Food Drug Res. 5 : 17-25 2014,標題為:利用高效液相層析法檢測膠囊錠狀食品中葉黃素及玉米黃素之含量,是使用HPLC搭配分離管柱Ascentis RP-Amide 150*4.6 mm,而檢測葉黃素、玉米黃質的RT,分別為16.5及18.1。In addition, in the Annual Report of Food and Drug Research, 5: 17-25 2014 Ann. Rept. Food Drug Res. 5: 17-25 2014, the title is: Detection of lutein and corn in capsule and tablet foods using high-performance liquid chromatography The content of flavin was measured using HPLC with a separation column Ascentis RP-Amide 150*4.6 mm. The RTs for detecting lutein and zeaxanthin were 16.5 and 18.1 respectively.

再者,大陸國標的GB5009.248以及GB5009.83藉示出檢測葉黃素、玉米黃質的方式,且使用分離管柱C30 150*4.6 mm,並利用由甲醇(MeOH)、水(H2 O)、乙腈(Acetonitrile, ACN)、甲基第三丁基醚(methyl tert-butyl ether,MTBE)所調製的沖提液,葉黃素、玉米黃質的量測結果為RT分別是13.3、16.1,不過未能揭示出線性回歸分析的線性度R2 值,而且甲基第三丁基醚(MTBE)具有一定的毒性,易於與水融合,可滲入土壤,破壞地下水質,是一種污染物。Furthermore, the mainland national standards GB5009.248 and GB5009.83 also show the method of detecting lutein and zeaxanthin, and use a separation column C30 150*4.6 mm, and use methanol (MeOH), water (H 2 O), acetonitrile (ACN), and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). The measurement results of lutein and zeaxanthin were RT 13.3 and MTBE respectively. 16.1, however, the linearity R 2 value of the linear regression analysis cannot be revealed, and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has a certain toxicity, easily merges with water, can penetrate into the soil, and destroys groundwater quality. It is a pollutant .

此外,MTBE主要可經由呼吸道而被人體吸收,或經皮膚和消化道吸收,動物在高濃度的MTBE中可能會致癌,而對小鼠的麻醉濃度為1.0mmol/L,致死濃度為1.6mmol/L,對人體的影響主要表現在上呼吸道、眼睛黏膜的刺激反應,長期接觸可使皮膚乾燥。In addition, MTBE can be mainly absorbed by the human body through the respiratory tract, or through the skin and digestive tract. Animals may be carcinogenic in high concentrations of MTBE. The anesthetic concentration for mice is 1.0mmol/L, and the lethal concentration is 1.6mmol/L. L, the impact on the human body is mainly manifested in the irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eye mucosa. Long-term exposure can make the skin dry.

因此,非常需要一種新穎設計的檢驗方法,利用前處理及萃取技術,藉高效液相層析儀,搭載X橋式管柱,而以水、乙腈作為移動相而調製出具不同溶劑濃度梯度的沖提液以供進行沖提,因而分別得到游離型的葉黃素、玉米黃質的標準曲線,再進行備製樣品而製成量測用的測試液,且利用高效液相層析儀檢測其中葉黃素、玉米黃質的停留時間以及波峰面積,進而參考標準曲線以獲得葉黃素、玉米黃質的濃度,藉以克服習知技術的問題。Therefore, there is a great need for a novel testing method that uses pre-treatment and extraction technology, high-performance liquid chromatography, equipped with an X-bridge column, and uses water and acetonitrile as mobile phases to prepare flushing solutions with different solvent concentration gradients.

The residence time and peak area of lutein and zeaxanthin are then determined by referring to the standard curve to obtain the concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin, thereby overcoming the problems of conventional techniques.

在步驟S20中,是利用水以及乙腈以備製具不同的溶劑濃度梯度的沖提液。舉例而言,沖提液中水、乙腈的相對體積比例為20:80至0:100,因而達成二種不同的溶劑濃度梯度。In step S20, water and acetonitrile are used to prepare eluents with different solvent concentration gradients. For example, the relative volume ratio of water and acetonitrile in the eluent is 20:80 to 0:100, thus achieving two different solvent concentration gradients.

接著要注意的是,本發明中步驟S30、步驟S32的執行次序為任意逐一排列,不過為方便說明,下文中是依序執行步驟S30、步驟S32。Next, it should be noted that the execution order of steps S30 and S32 in the present invention is arbitrary. However, for convenience of explanation, steps S30 and S32 are executed sequentially in the following.

在步驟S30中,利用沖提液,並搭載高效液相層析儀(high performance liquid chromatography,HPLC)以及分離管柱,用以量測每個葉黃素標準測試品的停留時間(Retention Time,RT)以及波峰面積,如第二圖的HPLC色譜圖所示,再利用該等波峰面積對應該等不同葉黃素濃度,藉以進行回歸分析而計算並繪製供後續比對用的葉黃素標準曲線,如第五圖所示。In step S30, the elution liquid is used and equipped with a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a separation column to measure the retention time (Retention Time) of each lutein standard test product. RT) and the peak area, as shown in the HPLC chromatogram in the second picture, and then use the peak areas to correspond to the different lutein concentrations to perform regression analysis to calculate and draw the lutein standard for subsequent comparison.

在步驟S32中,同樣是利用沖提液,並搭載高效液相層析儀以及分離管柱,用以量測每個玉米黃質標準測試品的停留時間以及波峰面積,如第三圖的HPLC色譜圖所示,再利用該等波峰面積對應該等不同玉米黃質濃度,藉以進行回歸分析而計算並繪製供後續比對用的玉米黃質標準曲線,如第六圖所示。In step S32, the eluent is also used and equipped with a high-performance liquid chromatograph and a separation column to measure the residence time and peak area of each zeaxanthin standard test product, as shown in the HPLC in the third figure As shown in the chromatogram, the peak areas are then used to correspond to the different zeaxanthin concentrations to perform regression analysis to calculate and draw a zeaxanthin standard curve for subsequent comparison, as shown in the sixth figure.

再者,第四圖的HPLC色譜圖係顯示本發明方法可同時量測相互混合的游離的葉黃素及玉米黃質。Furthermore, the HPLC chromatogram in Figure 4 shows that the method of the present invention can simultaneously measure free lutein and zeaxanthin mixed with each other.

上述的高效液相層析儀可包含高效液相層析-光電二極體陣列(high performance liquid chromatography-Photo Diode Array Detector,HPLC-PDA),而分離管柱可包含X橋式分離管柱(XBridge),且較佳的,X橋式分離管柱的尺寸大小可為250*4.6mm。由於高效液相層析儀在習知技術中是很常用的量測置,所以下文中並不對相關的操作細節做詳細的描述。 The above-mentioned high performance liquid chromatography may include a high performance liquid chromatography-Photo Diode Array Detector (HPLC-PDA), and the separation column may include an X-bridge separation column ( XBridge), and preferably, the size of the X-bridge separation column can be 250*4.6mm. Since high performance liquid chromatography is a very commonly used measuring device in the prior art, the relevant operating details will not be described in detail below.

然後進入步驟S34,備製待測的樣品,其中樣品可由一般的鳥禽類蛋中取出蛋黃部分而形成,或者,樣品可包含食品或保健食品。 Then step S34 is entered to prepare a sample to be tested, where the sample can be formed by taking out the yolk part from ordinary bird eggs, or the sample can include food or health food.

在步驟S40中,搭配丙酮、乙醇、正己烷進行超音波萃取,而後移入分液漏斗進行分離、純化、濃縮,而由步驟S34所備製的樣品中,進一步備製回溶過濾液,並安置於褐色玻璃瓶瓶中而保存,防止被外界光線照射而破壞其中的成分。 In step S40, acetone, ethanol, and n-hexane are used for ultrasonic extraction, and then moved into a separatory funnel for separation, purification, and concentration. From the sample prepared in step S34, a filtrate is further prepared and placed. Store in brown glass bottles to prevent damage to the ingredients by external light.

更加具體而言,步驟S40可包含以下步驟。 More specifically, step S40 may include the following steps.

首先,藉添加丙酮至樣品,並利用超音波萃取機而由樣品中萃取出萃取液;接著,移入分液漏斗,利用水與正己烷進行樣品分離、純化處理,進而取得上清液;將澄清液置入樣品瓶中,並進行減壓濃縮處理以去除正己烷;之後,添加甲醇回溶樣品;最後,過濾回溶樣品而獲得回溶過濾液,並安置於褐色玻璃瓶瓶中。 First, acetone is added to the sample, and an ultrasonic extraction machine is used to extract the extract from the sample; then, it is moved into a separatory funnel, and water and n-hexane are used to separate and purify the sample to obtain the supernatant; the clarified The solution was placed into a sample bottle and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove n-hexane; then, methanol was added to redissolve the sample; finally, the redissolved sample was filtered to obtain the redissolved filtrate, which was placed in a brown glass bottle.

此外,上述的減壓濃縮處理可包含利用抽真空機,抽出樣品瓶中的氣體,進而降低壓力,移除正己烷。 In addition, the above-mentioned reduced pressure concentration process may include using a vacuum machine to extract the gas in the sample bottle, thereby reducing the pressure and removing n-hexane.

在步驟S40之後,進入步驟S50,主要是將包含回溶過濾液的褐色玻璃瓶保存在低於0℃的低溫保存溫度,比如低溫保存溫度是在-10℃至-25℃之間。較佳的,可利用冰箱以保存回溶過濾液在低溫保存溫度。After step S40, step S50 is entered, which mainly involves storing the brown glass bottle containing the redissolved filtrate at a low-temperature storage temperature lower than 0°C, for example, the low-temperature storage temperature is between -10°C and -25°C. Preferably, a refrigerator can be used to store the re-dissolved filtrate at a low temperature.

在步驟S60中,由褐色玻璃瓶,取出部分的回溶過濾液,並添加適量的對應溶劑,如:葉黃素、玉米黃質應以甲醇稀釋至預設濃度範圍內,當作測試樣品液,較佳的,葉黃素預設濃度範圍為5ppm至100ppm,玉米黃質預設濃度範圍為2ppm至50ppm。In step S60, take out part of the redissolved filtrate from the brown glass bottle, and add an appropriate amount of the corresponding solvent, such as: lutein and zeaxanthin should be diluted with methanol to a preset concentration range as the test sample solution , preferably, the preset concentration range of lutein is 5ppm to 100ppm, and the preset concentration range of zeaxanthin is 2ppm to 50ppm.

然後進入步驟S70,利用沖提液,並搭載高效液相層析儀以及分離管柱,用以量測測試樣品液的葉黃素波峰面積以及玉米黃質波峰面積,並分別藉第五圖的葉黃素標準曲線以及第六圖的玉米黃質標準曲線,而獲得測試樣品液的葉黃素濃度以及玉米黃質濃度。Then enter step S70, use the elution liquid, and install a high-performance liquid chromatograph and a separation column to measure the lutein peak area and zeaxanthin peak area of the test sample liquid, and use the values of the fifth figure respectively. The lutein standard curve and the zeaxanthin standard curve in the sixth figure are used to obtain the lutein concentration and zeaxanthin concentration of the test sample liquid.

進一步舉例而言,在本發明的方法中,沖提液在步驟S30、S32以及S70中的流速可為1ml/min,且高效液相層析儀在步驟S70的檢測波長為450nm,此外,分離管柱的柱溫為35℃。不過要注意的是,上述的操作參數都只是示範性實例而已,並非用以限定發明的範圍,亦即,操作參數可依據實際樣品中葉黃素、玉米黃質的含量高低而適度調整,藉以達到最佳操作效率。For further example, in the method of the present invention, the flow rate of the eluate in steps S30, S32 and S70 can be 1 ml/min, and the detection wavelength of the high-performance liquid chromatograph in step S70 is 450 nm. In addition, the separation The column temperature of the column is 35°C. However, it should be noted that the above operating parameters are only exemplary examples and are not used to limit the scope of the invention. That is, the operating parameters can be appropriately adjusted according to the content of lutein and zeaxanthin in the actual sample, so as to achieve Optimum operating efficiency.

以蛋黃為例,實際檢測出的游離型玉米黃質、葉黃素之RT分別為: 14.5、15.5分鐘,其中回歸分析(主要是透過線性回歸分析)後所得的回歸係數R2 值高達0.9995,非接近於1,優於一般習知技術,而且其靈敏度與再現性較高,所以非常適用於家禽產業蛋黃中游離葉黃素、玉米黃質的含量分析,以及食品及保健食品中游離葉黃素、玉米黃質的含量分析。Taking egg yolk as an example, the actual detected RTs of free zeaxanthin and lutein are: 14.5 and 15.5 minutes respectively. The regression coefficient R2 value obtained after regression analysis (mainly through linear regression analysis) is as high as 0.9995, which is not close.
