摘要
The determination of the kokumi peptide, 纬-glutamyl-valyl-glycine (纬-Glu-Val-Gly) in raw scallop and processed scallop products was carried out using high pressure liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The detection of 纬-Glu-Val-Gly was achieved using a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method. The optimised condition enabled the precise determination of 纬-Glu-Val-Gly. Raw scallop contained 0.08 渭g/g 纬-Glu-Val-Gly, and the 纬-Glu-Val-Gly levels in processed scallop products, such as dried-scallop and scallop extract, were measured to be 0.64 and 0.77 渭g/g, respectively. This is the first report to confirm the existence of 纬-Glu-Val-Gly in foodstuff.
