Description

Method for detecting fatty acid composition
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of drug analysis, and particularly relates to an analysis and detection method of a fatty acid product.
Background
Fatty Acids (FA) are a class of carboxylic acids with Fatty chains. Fatty acid plays a plurality of key roles in organisms, and the analysis of fatty acid components one by one has great significance for the explanation of pathogenesis of related diseases and clinical diagnosis and treatment. Fatty acid radicals can be classified according to the length of the carbon chain therein: short chain fatty acids, mainly including fatty acids with carbon chain number less than 6; medium chain fatty acids, mainly including fatty acids of the type having 6 to 12 carbon atoms in the carbon chain, such as caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10); the long-chain fatty acid mainly comprises fatty acid with the carbon number more than 12 on the carbon chain. Fatty acids can be further classified into saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids according to whether the carbon chain of the fatty acid contains a carbon-carbon double bond, wherein the unsaturated fatty acids can be further classified into monounsaturated fatty acids (having only one carbon-carbon double bond on the carbon chain) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (having more than one carbon-carbon double bond on the carbon chain). Wherein the polyunsaturated fatty acid is important for organismThe physiological regulation function is receiving wide attention. Representative of the fish oil drugs on the market

Figure BDA0002848361440000012
The annual sales amount of the fatty acid substances is close to 10 billion dollars after the fatty acid substances are listed in Europe and America, and the fatty acid substances have wide application prospects and huge market potential in the field of medicine.
At present, fatty acids are obtained mainly by extraction methods, such as extracting EPA and DHA from fish, shrimp or algae, or by extracting vegetable oils from various plants, such as peanut oil, olive oil, corn oil. Because the fatty acid composition of the raw materials is complex and contains many fatty acid components, the extracted fatty acid product contains a plurality of fatty acid components except for the target fatty acid, but the fatty acid components except for the target fatty acid are substances which cannot ensure medical benefit, and therefore the fatty acid components need to be controlled. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of fatty acid products, it is necessary to accurately analyze the composition of fatty acid products qualitatively or quantitatively. However, the practical problems are that if an analysis method is established for each component in the fatty acid component one by one, the problems of huge analysis operation amount, complex detection procedure, fussy detection procedure, low efficiency and the like exist.
In order to achieve accurate analysis of fatty acid composition products in the prior art that has been published, some of the following detection methods have been used:
the method comprises the following steps: patent document CN103149187B provides a nondestructive testing method for rapidly determining the content of fatty acid by using front surface fluorescence. Firstly, performing fluorescence scanning on a grease sample, collecting obtained two-dimensional fluorescence spectrum data, and performing regression calculation on the fluorescence data and fatty acid data measured by gas chromatography by using a Partial Least Squares (PLS) method to obtain regression model analysis. The method is simple and rapid and belongs to a nondestructive testing method.
The second method comprises the following steps: patent document CN111521699A provides a fatty acid LC-MS/MS analysis method based on a double-derivatization technology, which comprises preparing a derivatized fatty acid mixed standard solution, detecting each standard curve to be detected by LC-MS/MS, establishing a standard curve of each fatty acid, performing derivatization treatment on the sample to be detected, and detecting by LC-MS/MS to obtain the type and content of the fatty acid in the solution to be detected. The method has high sensitivity, can detect short chain fatty acid, and is suitable for detecting plasma sample.
The third method comprises the following steps: patent document CN105044229B provides a gas chromatography method for detecting fatty acid components in soybean, which first establishes a standard curve and a standard curve equation of five fatty acids, i.e., palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, performs gas chromatography detection on the total fatty acids in a sample to be detected, qualitatively determines the sample to be detected according to the retention time of various standards, and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzes the content of the five fatty acids in the sample to be detected according to the standard curve.
The above patent documents use different methods for detecting the fatty acid component in the analytical product, but still have many problems: (1) the detection sensitivity of the method I and the method II is high, but the used instruments are expensive and high in maintenance cost, and the produced products need to be continuously detected in industrial mass production, so that the use of the instruments undoubtedly brings higher economic cost; (2) in the first, second and third methods, reference standard curves need to be established separately for all fatty acid components to be detected, so that reference substances of all fatty acid components to be detected need to be obtained, and when the reference substances of some components are difficult to obtain or expensive, the application difficulty of the methods is increased; the first method also needs regression calculation and regression model analysis, and the data processing process is complex; the problems of huge analysis operation amount, complex detection procedure, fussy detection procedure, low efficiency and the like can be caused when the fatty acid component to be detected is increased by the conventional method.
Currently, the united states pharmacopoeia (USP40) provides a method for detecting the content of EPA ethyl ester, DHA ethyl ester and total fatty acid ethyl ester in omega-3 fatty acid ethyl ester by using a gas chromatograph, using DHA ethyl ester as a positioning substance, qualifying other fatty acids by relative retention time, and calculating the content of each fatty acid component by an area normalization method. According to the method, a plurality of fatty acid components are qualitatively determined by using the DHA ethyl ester, so that the problem of high difficulty in obtaining a reference substance of partial fatty acids in the fatty acid composition is solved.

In establishing the fatty acid composition detection method, applicants first consult the relevant method in USP 40: determining a sample to be detected by gas chromatography, taking DHA ethyl ester as a positioning substance, recording the relative retention time of each fatty acid ethyl ester component and the DHA ethyl ester, and comparing the relative retention time with the standard relative retention time of each component respectively to achieve the purpose of qualitative fatty acid component. In the research process, in order to research the influence of the type of a chromatographic column and the change of a chromatograph on the method, the applicant examines the type of the chromatographic column and the type of the chromatograph used in the method and determines the type of the chromatographic column and the type of an instrument used in the method according to the test result. Next, a durability test for the column and the instrument was carried out, and the test results showed that the relative retention time values of the fatty acid ethyl ester components drifted within an acceptable range after the column and the instrument were replaced with different columns and instruments of the same type.
However, the applicant finds that when the method is applied to long-term detection of products, the relative retention time value of the detected fatty acid component has obvious drift, and the farther the detected fatty acid component chromatographic peak is away from the DHA chromatographic peak, the more obvious the drift is, the worse the stability of the relative retention time value is, so that the difficulty in locating the fatty acid component is increased during long-term detection, and the qualitative detection capability of the method is directly influenced.
It can be seen that the relative retention time method described in the united states pharmacopeia fails to meet the ideal detection stability requirements in long-term applications. Based on the above-mentioned problems encountered in the long-term detection, the applicant developed a detection method for localizing a fatty acid component by relative retention time segments using two or more localizing substances. The method can be used for a long time, has more stable detection capability and good durability, and can simultaneously determine a plurality of fatty acid components in the fatty acid composition. In addition, the method is simple and convenient to operate and convenient to transfer; the economic cost generated during application is low, and the method is suitable for application in industrial production.

From the data in the table, it can be seen that when C18:4n-3 ethyl ester, EPA ethyl ester and DHA ethyl ester were used as the positioning substances for the stepwise positioning, the relative retention time values of the respective fatty acid components in the sample shifted with the fine adjustment of the detection conditions, and the results of the two positioning methods were not much different when the chromatographic conditions were fine-tuned, as can be seen from the results of the durability of the positioning substance DHA ethyl ester in comparative example 1.
Example 3
(1) Sample preparation
The sample obtained in the "sample preparation" step (1) of comparative example 2 was taken as a sample to be measured.
(2) Sample detection
The procedure of step (2) "sample detection" in comparative example 2 was followed.
(3) Localized material selection
Identifying the structure of the fatty acid component to be detected by a mass spectrometer, selecting C18:4n-3 ethyl ester from C18 fatty acid ethyl ester components in the fatty acid component to be detected, selecting EPA ethyl ester from C20 fatty acid ethyl ester components, selecting DHA ethyl ester from C22 fatty acid ethyl ester components, and taking the three fatty acid ethyl ester components as positioning substances.
(4) Long term sample test results
The procedure of "Long term sample test result" of step (4) in comparative example 2 was followed.
The results of the tests are given in the following table:

Fatty acid component Day 0 3 months old
Phytanic acid ethyl ester 0.000 0.003
C18:3 n-6 Ethyl ester 0.001 0.002
C18:3 n-4 ethyl ester 0.001 0.001

C20:3n-6 ethyl ester 0.000 0.001
Furanoic acid 7 ethyl ester 0.000 0.001
Furanoic acid 8 ethyl ester 0.000 0.000

Furancarboxylic acid 11 ethyl ester 0.000 0.000
DHA Ethyl ester
C24:6 Ethyl ester 0.000 0.003
As can be seen from the above table, when the segmented localization is used, the relative retention time drift values of the fatty acid components detected at 3 months are not more than 0.003; even if the peaks of the chromatographic profiles of phytanic acid ethyl ester, C18:3 n-6 ethyl ester, C18:3 n-4 ethyl ester are far from the fatty acid component of the DH A ethyl ester component, the relative retention time shift value at 3 months does not exceed 0.003. The result shows that in the long-term application of the detection method, the drift of the relative retention time of the fatty acid component obtained by the detection of the method is obviously reduced, the fatty acid component to be detected can be better positioned, and the qualitative detection capability of the method is more stable than that of the method which singly uses DHA ethyl ester as a positioning substance and is more suitable for the long-term detection of products.
Example 4
(1) Sample preparation
The same lot of the sample prepared in the "sample preparation" step of step (1) of comparative example 1 was taken as a sample to be measured.
(2) Sample detection
The procedure of step (2) "sample detection" in comparative example 1 was followed.
(3) Localized material selection
Identifying the structure of the fatty acid component to be detected by a mass spectrometer, selecting C18:4 n-1 ethyl ester from C18 fatty acid ethyl ester components in the fatty acid component to be detected, selecting C20:3 n-6 ethyl ester from C20 fatty acid ethyl ester components, selecting C22:5 n-6 ethyl ester from C22 fatty acid ethyl ester components, and taking the three fatty acid ethyl ester components as positioning substances.
(4) Determining relative retention time of each component
The relative retention time of each fatty acid component to be tested was determined based on the localization substance and the results are given in the following table:
TABLE 6 Standard Table of relative Retention time of Components
Figure BDA0002848361440000151
Figure BDA0002848361440000161
The long-term 3-month samples in the comparative example 2 are detected by using the method, and the detection results show that the relative retention time drift values of the detected fatty acid components do not exceed 0.005 in 3 months; even if the chromatographic peaks of phytanic acid ethyl ester, C18:3 n-6 ethyl ester and C18:3 n-4 ethyl ester are far away from the fatty acid component of DHA ethyl ester component, the relative retention time drift value at 3 months does not exceed 0.004. The result shows that in the long-term application of the detection method, the qualitative detection capability of the method is more stable than that of the method using DHA ethyl ester alone as a positioning substance, and the method is more suitable for long-term detection of products.

Figure BDA0002848361440000162
Figure BDA0002848361440000171
The long-term 3-month samples in the comparative example 2 are detected by using the method, and the detection results show that the relative retention time drift values of the detected fatty acid components do not exceed 0.005 in 3 months; even if the chromatographic peaks of phytanic acid ethyl ester, C18:3 n-6 ethyl ester and C18:3 n-4 ethyl ester are far away from the fatty acid component of DHA ethyl ester component, the relative retention time drift value at 3 months does not exceed 0.005. The result shows that in the long-term application of the detection method, the qualitative detection capability of the method is more stable than that of the method using DHA ethyl ester alone as a positioning substance, and the method is more suitable for long-term detection of products.
In conclusion, in the long-term detection process of the product, the fatty acid components in the sample are positioned in a segmented manner by adopting the technical scheme of the invention, the measured relative retention time values of the fatty acid components in the sample have small drift, and are all obviously smaller than the drift value when the fatty acid components are positioned by DHA ethyl ester, the detection stability is improved, and the difficulty in qualitative fatty acid component determination is reduced.
