Overview

Background Introduction:

The phenolic substances in the soil are mainly released by plants and produced by the decomposition of plant residues and fallen leaves. Due to the difficulty in their degradation, the accumulation of phenolic substances in the soil can affect the carbon-nitrogen transformation and greenhouse gas emissions of the soil, thereby causing a decline in soil fertility. Back. In addition, phenolic substances also have significant effects on the mineralization of soil organic matter and the nutrient cycle. This kit uses the Folin phenol method to determine the content of phenolic substances in the soil. Under alkaline conditions, phenolic substances will reduce tungsten molybdate, generating a blue compound. There is a characteristic absorption peak at 750 nm. By detecting the absorbance value at 750 nm, the content of phenolic substances in the soil can be calculated.

Required instruments and supplies:

Enzyme analyzer, 96-well plate, adjustable pipette, balance, centrifuge.

Determination of total phenolic content in soil:

It is recommended to select 2 samples for prediction before the formal experiment. This will help us understand the situation of this batch of samples, familiarize ourselves with the experimental process, and avoid waste of experimental samples and reagents!

1.       Sample preparation:

Take approximately 0.5 g of soil sample, add 1 mL of extraction solution, and shake at room temperature for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 25℃ and 8000 rpm for 10 minutes, then take the supernatant for testing.

2.       Machine testing:

(1)     The spectrophotometer was preheated for 30 minutes, the wavelength was adjusted to 750 nm, and distilled water was used for zero adjustment.

(2)     Add successively in the 96-well plate:

Reagent Name (μL)Testing tubeBlank tube (used only once)
Sample50- 
Distilled water- 50
Reagent 1125125
Reagent 22525
Mix well, let it stand at room temperature (25℃) for 30 minutes. Transfer all the liquid to the 96-well plate. Measure the absorbance at 750 nm as A, and calculate △A = A(measured) - A(blank)

Result Calculation:

1.       Standard curve: Y = 0.2325*X + 0.04542, where X represents the mass of the standard sample (in μg) and Y represents ΔA.

2.       Total phenol content in soil (μg/g soil) = (∆A - 0.04542) ÷ 0.2325 ÷ (V1 ÷ V × W) × D

V---Volume of the extracted liquid, 1 mL;

D---Dilution factor, 1 for undiluted sample;

V1---Volume of the sample in the reaction, 0.05 mL;

W---Mass of soil sample, g.

Appendix  Procedure for preparing the standard curve:

1.       Prepare standard stock solution (10 mg/mL): Add 1 mL distilled water to the standard powder vial, sonicate until fully dissolved.

2.       Dilute the mother solution with distilled water to prepare five concentration gradients of standard samples: 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1 mg/mL. The concentration of the standard substance can also be adjusted according to the actual sample.

Operation Table (Take 50 μL of the standard solution stock solution, add 4.95 mL of distilled water, and mix well to obtain a 0.1 mg/mL standard dilution solution for later use):


Standard concentration (mg/mL)00.020.040.060.080.1
Standard diluent (μL)080160240320400
Distilled water (μL)400320240160800

3.       Operate following the pipetting protocol for test tubes above, then plot the standard curve using recorded absorbance values.

This kit uses the Folin phenol method to determine the content of phenolic substances in the soil. Under alkaline conditions, phenolic substances will reduce tungsten molybdate, generating a blue compound. There is a characteristic absorption peak at 750 nm. By detecting the absorbance value at 750 nm, the content of phenolic substances in the soil can be calculated. This detection method shows a good linear relationship within the concentration range of 0 - 5 µg.
