A facile two‐step method for preparing chitosan‐based immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography was developed. First, chitosan was phosphorylated by esterification with phosphoric acid, and then titanium was chelated onto the phosphorylated chitosan. The obtained chitosan‐based titanium immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography was ultrafine microparticles and had good dispersibility in acidic buffer. The selectivity and sensitivity were evaluated by phosphopeptide enrichment of mixtures of α‐casein and bovine serum albumin. The enriched peptides were analyzed by mass spectrum. Enrichment protocols were optimized and the optimum‐loading buffer was 80% acetonitrile with 1% trifluoroacetic acid. With α‐casein concentration as low as 2 pmol, 12 phosphopeptides were detected with considerably high intensity from the digest mixtures of α‐casein and bovine serum albumin with molar ratio of 1:200. The microparticles was also applied in real biological samples, 29 phosphoproteins containing 40 phosphorylated sites were identified from salt‐stressed A rabidopsis thaliana leaves.
