ESI HPLC-MS/MS First Action 2017 (Applicable for identification of pea, rice, and soy protein in raw material and finished good samples.) See Tables 2017.11A–E for results of the single-laboratory validation study supporting acceptance of the method. A. Principle Solid sample is extracted by 5.0 M urea in 50 mM Tris buffer followed by reducing with 1 M dithiothreitol (DTT) for 30 min and alkylation in 0.5 M iodoacetamide for 30 min. The extract is further digested by trypsin solution at 37°C overnight, and then quenched by formic acid. After filtering by a disposable syringe and 0.22 µm nylon syringe filter, the extract is diluted (1:10) with 0.1% formic acid and 200 ng/mL internal standard (IS) and subjected to LC-MS/ MS analysis. The method uses β-casomorphin 1-4 peptide as the IS. Pea, rice, and soy protein identifications are based on comparison with the method reporting limit (MRL) sample, which is made from raw materials identified using PCR. B.
