Abstract:

Objective:To optimize the extraction technology of total amino acids from parts of Orchidaceae plants in Yunnan and
determine the content. Methods:The best extraction conditions were optimized by orthogonal test,and the content of total amino
acids was determined in 568 nm through Nihydrin colorimetry method. Results:The best extraction conditions were as follows: 20 mL
75% ethanol,3 times of reflux extraction and 60 min for each time. The concentration and the absorbance of the GLY show a good
linear correlation when changing from 0.5 μg/mL to 10 μg/mL,r = 0.999 8. Conclusion:Nihydrin colorimetry method is simple,
accurate,which can be used for the determination of total amino acids in Orchidaceae plant.

Key words: Orchidaceae plant, total amino acids, content determination
