The method incorporated a glutamate oxidase and peroxidase. The librated H 2 O 2 from a glutamate sample as a result of enzymatic action was measured using 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol as a chromogenic reagent at 502 nm. Glutamate calibration curve was linear up to 125 mmol L-1 with a detection limit of 2 mmol L-1. The results of analyzing L-glutamate in various food samples using the approach were compared to those of a standard procedure employing HPLC method. MSG concentration in different samples ranged from 0.93 to 4.9 g/kg. This method is relatively sensitive and specifi c, without the need of pre-treatment for sample. Fig 5, Tab 1, Ref展开更多
