Use of o-Phthaldehyde derivatives and high-pressure liquid chromatography in determining the free amino acids in cocoa beans

The free amino acids in Ecuadorian cocoa beans were qualitatively analyzed, using the formation of precolumn o-phthaldehyde derivatives. The amino acids were extracted from cocoa beans and subjected to high-pressure liquid chromatography amino acid analysis. This shows the utility of the technique to a solid food matrix.
