Abstract:
In order to validate an HPLC-UV method for the determination of free asparagine, which is a precursor of acrylamide, in grains using dansyl derivatization, an inter-laboratory study was performed in 9 laboratories using 5 kinds of grains (non-glutinous brown rice flour, corn flour, strong flour, whole wheat flour, and whole rye flour), which naturally contain free asparagine. The relative standard deviations for repeatability (RSDr) and reproducibility (RSDr) were in the ranges of 0.5-2.2 and 2.3-5.9%, respectively. The HorRat values ranged from 0.4 to 0.6. These results were within the range of the procedural manual of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and therefore the method is effective.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency,...
