摘要
Rapid and sensitive determination of citric acid in fermentation media by pyrolysis mass spectrometry (Py-MS) is proposed. Owing to high specificity of this method, distinguishing the citric acid from the matrix and by-products formed in the Krebs cycle is possible. Selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode is used for quantitative measurements, in which mass to charge (m/z) values of 175 of citric acid and 138 of 3-nitroaniline as internal standard are chosen. Limit of detection (LOD) for this method has been found to be I ng ml(-1) and the linear working range was 10 ng ml(-1)-100 mg ml(-1). Relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of the method for five replicates was 0.84%. Results of Py-MS are compared with those obtained by UV-vis spectrophotometric method. Also, factor analysis is used for evaluating the influence of pH, molasses concentration, time and shaker intensity on the production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger.
