Resumo
O objetivo deste trabalho foi validar um método quantitativo para determinação de L-fenilalanina (Fen) em farinha de trigo por espectrofotometria derivada segunda. A amostra de farinha de trigo, na quantidade de 0,525g, foi submetida à hidrólise ácida com HCl a 5,7 mol/L, a 110 °C, por 24 h. O material hidrolisado foi reconstituído para 50 mL com tampão fosfato de sódio a 0,1 mol/L, pH 7,0. As soluções preparadas a partir dessa amostra foram submetidas às leituras de absorvância, entre 230 nm e 280 nm, em espectrofotômetro UV/VIS. Os espectros de derivada segunda foram traçados e os valores das áreas dos picos negativos foram utilizados para estimar os teores de Fen. A linearidade do método foi demonstrada na faixa de 0,010 mg/mL a 0,035 mg/mL (correspondente a teores de 251 mg/100g a 877 mg/100g de Fen em farinha de trigo). Efeitos de matriz foram observados. A determinação de Fen não sofreu interferência de compostos como L-tirosinae L-triptofano. As porcentagens de recuperação variaram de 81 % a 118 % e os desvios padrão relativos de repetitividade e reprodutibilidade parcial foram respectivamente 11 % e 15 %, para amostras contendo 354 mg/100g, demonstrando adequada recuperação e precisão do método. Os limites de detecção e quantificação foram, respectivamente, 63 mg/100ge 175 mg/100g. Os parâmetros de desempenho estudados indicaram adequação do método para o monitoramento e controle de teores de Fen em farinha de trigo.Referências
