QUANTITATIVE DETECTION OF TOTAL PROTEINS IN MILK & CHEESE
Proteins are chains of amino acid molecules connected by peptide bonds. Milk proteins contain all 9 essential amino acids required by humans. Milk proteins are synthesized in the mammary gland, but 60% of the amino acids used to build the proteins are obtained from the cow’s diet. Total milk protein content and amino acid composition varies with cow
breed and individual animal genetics.
Following a comparative analysis of MenidiMedica’s Biotech Greece Proteins in Milk & Cheese method and the Kjeldahl reference method, it is evident that the former is the most appropriate choice. This is due to its ability to deliver rapid and precise results in contrast to the Kjeldahl method. Additionally, the Biotech Greece assay offers a straightforward protocol, eliminating the need for costly equipment or skilled analysts to gather the data.
