This test method is a widely used technique to accurately quantify these sulfur-containing amino acids in food, feed, and biological samples. Because cysteine and methionine are sensitive to oxidation and do not naturally absorb UV light strongly, they require chemical modification (derivatization) prior to chromatographic analysis. Samples are first oxidized to stabilize these amino acids,… Continue reading Amino Acids [Cysteine/Methionine] Pre-col AQC Der
