Free amino acid analysis is a technique for the quantitative and qualitative measurement of free amino acids in various samples. Free amino acids, defined as those not bonded via peptide bonds, play crucial roles in cellular metabolism, energy synthesis, neurotransmitter regulation, and diverse physiological processes. Compared to total amino acids, free amino acids exhibit greater flexibility in participating in physiological activities, making them particularly important in biomedical research, nutrition science, and disease diagnostics. Accurate free amino acid analysis allows researchers to gain a deeper understanding of metabolic networks, identify disease-related biomarkers, and evaluate nutritional status under specific conditions.

Service Advantages
Case Study
Case 1: Free Amino Acids Analysis Reveals the Influence of Tea Varieties and Processing Methods on Composition
This study utilized HPLC-MS/MS to analyze free amino acid content in different tea varieties (e.g., green tea, black tea) and assessed changes induced by black tea processing. Significant differences in amino acid profiles were observed between tea types, with key amino acids undergoing substantial transformations during processing, influencing flavor and functional properties. These findings underscore the importance of Free Amino Acid Analysis Service in nutritional studies and processing optimization, providing scientific support for quality control and functional food development.

Case 2: Biogenic Tracing of Atmospheric Aerosols Through Free Amino Acid Analysis
Using GC-MS and UPLC-MS, this study quantified free amino acids and sugars in plant pollens, revealing their chemical characteristics and contributions to atmospheric aerosols. Free amino acids accounted for 0.29% to 15% of dry weight, with proline as the dominant component, while sugars ranged from 4.0% to 29%. The chemical profile of pine pollen closely matched aerosols from the Lake Tahoe region, illustrating the utility of pollen components in tracing aerosol sources. This research demonstrates the value of Free Amino Acid Analysis Service in environmental studies and atmospheric research.
