Notes:
A rapid pre-column derivatization process before ultraviolet chromatographic analysis using a Pico-Tag C18 column was developed in combination with modified gradient elution techniques for the analysis of key amino acids (proline and glutamine) in wheat flour. With use of a vacuum concentrator at 45°C, the pre-column derivatization process was significantly accelerated before entering a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chro-matography. When running at an optimized scheme—in which the gradient elution started at a flow rate of 1 mL/ min and then gradually increased to 1.3 mL/min in 22 min, followed by reset to 1 mL/min at 45 min—the profiled mobile phase mixture was able to yield chromatograms with desirable retention factor and resolution. Keywords: proline, glutamine, glutamic acid, reverse-phase HPLC, resolution
