[Analysis Case] Analysis of Amino Acids and Dipeptides in Fermented Foods
It is possible to visualize amino acids and dipeptides with distinct characteristics for each raw material!
Amino acids related to the taste and umami of food are widely known. Additionally, "dipeptides," which consist of two amino acids, possess different physical and functional properties compared to amino acids and have recently attracted attention as functional components in fermented foods such as soy sauce and miso. At Kaneka Techno Research, we can conduct highly accurate analysis and evaluation using liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOFMS) and a library of amino acids and dipeptides (approximately 400 types). Here, we present an analysis case of amino acids and dipeptides in commercially available miso. [Case Overview] ■ Analysis Samples: Commercially available miso (3 types of soybean miso, 5 types of barley miso, 3 types of rice miso, totaling 11 types) ■ Analysis Equipment: SCIEX Triple TOF6600 (LC-TOFMS) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
By conducting principal component analysis on the components identified by the library, it is possible to find amino acids and dipeptides that are characteristic of each ingredient in miso. This analysis and evaluation can be utilized not only for the characterization of food properties but also for the management of substance production processes and evaluation of culture characteristics using microorganisms and cells. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
