Abstract: [Objective] To investigate the influence of different factors on the spectrophotometry of hydroxyproline (HYP) in allogeneic tendon. [Methods] The HYP content of allograft tendons was detected by spectrophotometer based on orthogonal test. Four factors, including enzymolysis time (4 h, 12 h, 24 h) , water bath temperature (37℃, 60℃, 100℃), acid-enzyme ratio (1∶2, 1∶1, 1∶1), and water bath oscillation frequency (180 r/min, 200 r/min, 250 r/min) were set to explore the optimal assay conditions. [Results] The results of single factor analysis showed that under the condition that other variables remained unchanged, the enzymolysis time was 12 h, the water bath temperature was 60℃, the acid-enzyme ratio was 2∶1, the pH value was about 7.4, and the shock frequency of 200 r/min could ensure the best enzymolysis effect of HYP. Orthogonal test and range analysis showed that the acid-enzyme ratio had the greatest effect. Other influencing factors are bath temperature, oscillation frequency and time. [Conclusion] In spectrophotometry of HYP content in allograft tendon, pH value, temperature, shock frequency and enzymolysis time should be adjusted to ensure high enzyme activity, so as to achieve the highest detection rate of samples, so as to rationally use resources and achieve the best assay efficiency.
