Amino Acids Determination

In addition to their essential role in protein formation, amino acids are important to biosynthesis, neurotransmitter transport, and other biochemical processes. 

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. They also have amine (–NH2) and carboxyl (–COOH) functional groups with side chains that differentiate one amino acid from another. 

The analysis of total amino acids is recommended in matrices such as cereals, meat, milk and feed. The analytical process consists in hydrolysing the sample to break down proteins into the amino acids. In this way, all the amino acids present in the sample are detected and an estimation of the protein content provided.
