86-0], with a purity of ???95%; or a standard obtained national certification and awarded
a reference material certificate.
B.2.3.3.2 MES (9.76 g/L)-sodium chloride (35.064 g/L)-polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether
(1.52 mL/L) buffer solution: Respectively weigh 48.80 g of 2-[N-morpholino]
ethanesulfonic acid (MES) and 175.32 g of sodium chloride into a beaker, dissolve it in
about 4.5 L of water, then add 7.60 mL of 15% polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether solution,
and stir evenly; use about 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH to
6.00??0.05. Then transfer it into a 5000 mL volumetric flask, dilute to volume with water,
and stir evenly. The storage period of this solution at normal temperature (15 ???~20 ???)
is 1 week.
B.2.3.3.3 ??-acetolactate substrate (2.00 mL/L): Take 100 ??L of ethyl-2-acetoxy-2-
methylacetoacetic acid into a 50 mL volumetric flask, and add 6.0 mL of about 0.50
mol/L sodium hydroxide solution; after shaking for 20 minutes, add buffer solution to
approximately 40.0 mL; use approximately 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH
of the solution to 6.00??0.05, and then dilute to volume with buffer solution. The
solution shall be prepared fresh just before use.
B.2.3.3.4 Naphthol (10.0 g/L)/creatine (1.0 g/L) chromogen: Weigh 5.0 g of 1-naphthol
and 0.5 g of creatine respectively into a 500 mL volumetric flask, use about 1 mol/L
sodium hydroxide solution to dissolve and dilute to volume. The solution shall be
prepared fresh just before use. Keep away from light and take an ice bath during
preparation.
WARNING: 1-Naphthol is flammable and toxic. It has irritation to the eyes and
mucous membranes. Poisoning can occur if it is swallowed or absorbed through
the skin.
B.2.3.3.5 Acetoin stock solution (1.000 g/L): Take a certain amount of acetoin in a test
tube and dissolve it in a 37 ??? thermostat. The test tube is then placed in ice water to
recrystallize the acetoin. After recrystallization, acetoin does not contain acetoin dimers
that will affect the test results and can be used for the preparation of stock solutions;
weigh 0.100 g of acetoin after recrystallization, accurate to 0.0001 g, and transfer it to
a 100 mL volumetric flask, dissolve in water and dilute to volume.
NOTE: Acetoin is unstable to heat and easily absorbs moisture, so it needs to be stored in a desiccator
and refrigerated (2 ???~6 ???). If it is found that the material has obvious moisture absorption, it is
recommended to abandon it. The solution has a shelf life of 1 week under refrigeration.
Weigh a certain amount of specimen from the sample, accurate to 0.0005 g, and dilute
it with the solution. The dilution factor shall be such that the final absorbance H1 of the
sample falls within the range of the acetoin standard curve.
B.2.3.5.4 Drawing of the standard curve
Taking the absorbance at a wavelength of 522 nm as the Y-axis and the concentration
of acetoin (mg/L) as the X-axis, draw a standard curve and calculate the slope h of the
standard curve (or use the regression equation to calculate it).
B.2.3.5.5 Determination
Place the sample solution and substrate in a 30 ??? water bath to preheat for about 10
minutes. Take 200.0 ??L of the enzyme sample solution into a 10 mL test tube in a
30 ?????0.1 ??? water bath, and then add 200.0 ??L of substrate, time immediately, mix
thoroughly with a vortex oscillator, and quickly return the tube to the water bath. After
reacting for 20.0 minutes, add 4.60 mL of chromogenic reagent to the test tubes in
sequence, and mix thoroughly with a vortex oscillator. Place the tubes at room
temperature and restart timing. After 40.0 minutes of reaction, use a spectrophotometer
to measure the absorbance of each tube of solution at a wavelength of 522 nm. At the
same time, use buffer solution instead of sample solution to perform a blank test.
B.2.3.6 Result calculation
The enzyme activity X1 of ??-acetolactate decarboxylase preparation, in U/g (or U/mL),
is calculated according to formula (B.1).
where:
H1 -- absorbance of the sample;
H2 -- absorbance of the blank solution;
0.0011351 -- the mole number corresponding to 0.1 g of acetoin;
F1 -- the total dilution factor of the sample solution before reaction;
m -- the mass of the specimen, in grams (g);
h -- the slope of the standard curve.
The measurement result of the sample is expressed as the arithmetic mean.
1 significant figure is retained when the result is less than 1 U/g (or U/mL); 2 significant
figures are retained when the result is greater than or equal to 1 U/g (or U/mL) and less
than 100 U/g (or U/mL); 3 significant figures are retained when the result is greater
than or equal to 100 U/g (or U/mL).
The arithmetic mean of parallel measurement results is taken as the test result. The
absolute difference between two independent determination results obtained under
repeatability conditions is not greater than 10% of the arithmetic mean.
B.2.4 Fully automatic biochemical analyzer method
B.2.4.1 Scope
This method specifies the determination method of ??-acetolactate decarboxylase
activity.
This method is suitable for the determination of the enzyme activity of ??-acetolactate
decarboxylase in ??-acetolactate decarboxylase preparations by using a fully automatic
biochemical analyzer. This method is not suitable for the determination of ??-
acetolactate decarboxylase activity in beer and other alcohol-containing products.
The detection limit of this method is 0.6 U/g (or U/mL).
The presence of 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (acetoin) and/or diacetyl in the sample will
cause the test result larger.
Acetoin can easily form dimers during storage, thus affecting test results. However, this
method can still be used if the precautions described in the preparation steps are
followed.
B.2.4.2 Principle
??-acetolactate decarboxylase reacts with the substrate ??-acetolactate to decarboxylate
to produce acetoin. Acetoin reacts with a mixture of naphthol and creatine under
alkaline conditions to form a red product. Draw a standard curve by measuring the
absorbance of the standard solution at a wavelength of 510 nm, and further calculate
the activity of the enzyme sample according to the standard curve.
B.2.4.3 Reagents and materials
B.2.4.3.1 MES (9.76 g/L)-sodium chloride (35.064 g/L)-polyoxyethylene lauryl ether
(1.52 mL/L) buffer solution: See B.2.3.3.2.
B.2.4.3.2 ??-acetolactate substrate (2.00 mL/L): See B.2.3.3.3.
B.2.4.3.3 Naphthol (10.0 g/L)/creatine (1.0 g/L) chromogen: See B.2.3.3.4.
B.2.4.4 Instruments and equipment
1000 -- conversion factor.
The measurement result of the sample is expressed as the arithmetic mean. When the
test value of the standard reference substance diluent is between 0.48 mU/mL and 0.52
mU/mL, the test results of the sample are valid and the average value can be calculated.
Otherwise, the test shall be repeated.
1 significant figure is retained when the result is less than 1 U/g (or U/mL); 2 significant
figures are retained when the result is greater than or equal to 1 U/g (or U/mL) and less
than 100 U/g (or U/mL); 3 significant figures are retained when the result is greater
than or equal to 100 U/g (or U/mL). When the result is less than 0.6 U/g (or U/mL), it
is expressed as < 0.6 U/g (or U/mL).
The arithmetic mean of parallel measurement results is taken as the test result. The
absolute difference between two independent determination results obtained under
repeatability conditions is not greater than 4% of the arithmetic mean.
B.3 Determination of pectinase activity
B.3.1 Pectinase
An enzyme that can hydrolyze pectin and generate products containing reducing groups.
B.3.2 Pectinase activity
Under the reaction conditions of 50 ??C and pH 3.5, 1 g of solid enzyme powder (or 1
mL of liquid enzyme) decomposes pectin in 1 hour to produce 1 mg of galacturonic
acid, which is one enzyme activity unit, expressed in U/g or U/mL.
B.3.3 Principles
Pectinase can hydrolyze pectin, and the reducing uronic group of the generated
galacturonic acid can be quantitatively measured by the hypoiodous acid method to
express the activity of pectinase.
This method is mainly used to detect the activity of polygalacturonase and pectin lyase
in pectinase products. It is not suitable for pectin (methyl) esterase in pectinase products.
B.3.4 Reagents and materials
B.3.4.1 10 g/L citrus pectin solution: Weigh 1.0000 g of pectin powder (accurate to 0.1
mg), add water to dissolve, boil, cool and filter. Adjust pH to 3.5, dilute to 100 mL with
water, and store in a refrigerator for later use. Use time does not exceed 3 d.
NOTE: Pectin substrate has a great impact on the test. If pectin powder from a different source or batch
number is used, a control test must be conducted with the old batch.
B.3.4.2 0.05 mol/L sodium thiosulfate standard solution.
B.3.4.3 1 mol/L sodium carbonate standard solution.
B.3.4.4 0.1 mol/L iodine standard solution.
B.3.4.5 1 mol/L sulfuric acid solution: Take 5.6 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid, slowly
add an appropriate amount of water, cool and dilute to 100 mL with water, and shake
well for later use.
