Tryptophan is oxidized by nitrous acid at elevated temperature produce a phenolic intermediate which further reacts with nitrous acid to form a fluorescent species. The flluorescent species has the excitation and emission maxima at 320 and 392nm, respectively. The fluorescent intensity is linear over the range of 0.2-1.6μg/mL tryptophan. The method has been applied to the determination of tryptophan in synthetic and protein samples. A plausible mechanism is proposed to explain this behaviour.

Key words: FLUORESCENCE CHARACTERISTIC, NITROUS ACID, TRYPTOPHAN, PROTEIN, FLUOROSPECTROPHOTOMETRY
