We discuss three methods widely used for the acquisition of protein content in food products. Methods are briefly explained and the advantages and disadvantages of each explored.
Our lithium amino acid analyser accurately resolves up to 40 amino acids, including many that are non-standard, which makes it perfect for physiological samples, such as plasma and urine.
Total amino acids analysis determines the amino acids which are bound in proteins as well as those amino acids that may be present as individual unbound units.
Amino acid analysis is the most accurate way to determine the composition and quantity of protein in a sample.
At AltaBioscience we provide gluten testing for food and drink products. Please contact us if you require information on our testing services
There are many methods for analysing amino acids but at AltaBioscience, we use ion exchange chromatography with post column derivatisation which is seen as the gold standard of the available techniques
