Biochrom has developed a new analytical procedure for the food and drink industry to analyze the theanine content of green tea leaves.
Biochrom offers new analytical solution for theanine detection
The Biochrom 30 Lithium High Performance Amino Acid Analyzer enables laboratories to separate and identify theanine clearly from the other amino acids naturally present in tea in a single run.
This application is an alternative to traditional HPLC methods as the interferences from other type of compounds presents in tea are removed due to the specific Ninhydrin detection system. It could be particularly useful to laboratories running routine quality control procedures and for those researching the effect of theanine on the brain.
