Abstract In order to perform the 15N/14N analysis of amino acids using a gas chromatograph and isotope ratio mass spectrometer linked up via a combustion interface (GC-C-IRMS), the amino acids must be derivatized. Tert-butyldimethylsilylation is examined using various techniques (direct conversion to nitrogen gas, ConFlo-IRMS [1], GC-C-IRMS [2]) and subsequently applied to isotopic characterization of amino acids from wheat protein hydrolyzate obtained from plants exposed to ozone. The method provides a reliable tool for studying ecotoxicological effects on plants at a molecular level in addition to the investigation of the natural variations of different N fractions.
