“Fluorescent detection of vitamin B₂ (VB₂)” is a commonly used experiment in undergraduate students’ instrumental analysis course; however, it provides limited experimental content and inadequate training for students. Spinach is a green vegetable with relatively high VB₂ content, but the blanching treatment, which is used to remove oxalic acid, inevitably results in the partial loss of VB₂. Herein, we demonstrate that fluorescent analysis can be used to determine the amount of VB₂ released from spinach during blanching treatment. Based on this, we propose a teaching reform idea of adding measurement of the time-dependent VB₂loss rate during blanching to undergraduate experimental education. This would not only greatly enrich the original experimental content, but also make the experiment more interesting and relevant to human life, and improve students’ ability to apply what they have learned to practical problems.
