DETERMINATION OF TOTAL SOLUBLE PROTEIN IN DIFFERENT FOOD SAMPLES

Ayesha Ameen* and Shahid Raza

ABSTRACT

Soluble protein is that part of protein which is easily soluble in water or blood plasma and is readily available to cells. Excessive soluble protein causes protein loss through body waste such as sweat or urine. This study was designed to find total soluble proteins from a given food sample. A bio-RAD method was used and it absorption was measured in spectrophotometer. The readings were taken and compare with the known concentrations. A Standard curve has been drawn for protein content.

Keywords: Soluble protein is that part of protein content.
