Study on the Compound Specific Carbon Stable Isotope Determination of Amino Acids in Organisms
As the basic unit of protein,amino acids(AAs) are important living substances. The study of their monomer carbon isotope is of great significance in the fields of biogeochemistry,ecology,organism metabolism and environmental science. In this paper,we optimized the extraction and purification processes of AAs from sea cucumber and seaweed. After derivatization by N-pivaloyl-O-isopropyl(NPP) method,the concentration and carbon isotope composition were tested by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) and gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry(GC-C-IRMS). The results showed that 15 AAs were successfully separated,the recoveries were between 46.4% and 96.3%,and the linear relationship of each amino acid was good in the range of 1-16 μmol/L(

=0.987-0.999). The standard deviations of
δ
13
C values of 15 AAs monomer derivatives were less than 0.30‰(
n
=10),and the average error of
δ
13
C was ± 0.24 ‰ in the concentration range of 0.6 - 2.0 mmol / L. The detection limit of this method was 0.6 nmol. The
δ

C values of AAs monomers in sea cucumber and seaweed samples ranged from -8.58‰ to -31.10‰,and -13.76‰ to -30.53‰,respectively,and the standard deviations were all within 0.33‰,which could meet the accuracy requirements of carbon isotope analysis of AAs monomers in organisms.
