AbstractThe aim of our work was to develop a low-cost, portable device for the fast and easy determination of total protein content by using PDMS-based lab-in-a-syringe technology with removal of 3D-printed channels. We proposed two designs with a one-step PDMS curing and a two-step PDMS-curing fabrication procedure. The one-step PDMS microdevices were found to be the best in the view of preparation, repeatability, and stability of the reagent. This design was then applied for the determination of total protein content in biomedical products using the Bradford assay.

Bombax ceiba Linn belongs to the family of Bombacaceae and is an important medicinal plant. In Bangladesh, Bombax ceiba Linn is locally known as “Shimul tree”. The whole part of the plant used as traditional folk medicine for the treatment of antidysentric, anti diahorreal and antipyretic effects. The present communication attempts to evaluate fatty acid analysis by GC-MS spectrophotometer, total protein content by Kjeldahl method and to quantify some active constituents i.e. alkaloid, saponin and flavonoid. The fatty acid compositions of the petroleum ether extract of leaves and seeds of Bombax ceiba grown in Bangaladesh were determined by gas chromatography- mass spectrophotometer. 8 compounds were identified from leaves and 13 compounds were identified from the seeds. For both cases Palmitic acid showed higher value. The findings from present study showed the protein content for seeds have higher value (18.89%) than leaves of Bombax ceiba . The present investigation showed that both leaves and seeds of Bombax ceiba contain phytochemicals such as flavanoids, alakaloids and saponins in appreciable quantities. The flavonoid content of leaves was 5.97% and for the case of seeds (5.72%), the alkaloid content for leaves was (9.73%) and for seeds (31.44), the saponin content for the case of leaves (13.90%) and for the case of seeds was(43.58%).

On the grounds of data available from literature, we observed a high degree of variations in the values of numerous physical-chemical quality parameters of fermented sausages, so that we set as the objective of our investigations to carry out comprehensive examinations of selected chemical quality parameters (total protein content, relative protein content of connective tissue, and humidity in ten different products that belong to the group of fermented dry sausages). The other objective was to compare the values obtained in our investigations with the reference values envisaged under the Regulations on quality and other requirements for meat products (SCG Official Gazette, No. 33/2004) and to determine the percent of products that are found incompatible and the reasons for that. We used two standard reference chemical methods ? the determination of nitrogen and moisture contents (SRPS ISO 937:1992 and SRPS ISO 1442:1998), as well as a modification of method M050 for the determination of hydroxyproline content. We can conclude on the grounds of the results of our investigations that out of the representative number of examined samples (n = 156), originating from 10 different products from the group of fermented dry sausages, 51 samples (32.7%) did not meet the requirements prescribed under the Regulations on quality and other requirements for meat products. Among the rejected samples, the reason for the incompatibility of 40 samples (25.6%) was a a higher level of RPCCT, and 18 samples (11.5%) had a higher moisture content than permitted. None of the total number of examined samples had a content of total proteins lower than the one prescribed under Regulations.

Abstract The technic of Winzler (1) for the determination of seromucoid has been studied to measure its reproducibility and the effect of certain environmental factors. Values obtained are fairly reproducible (a difference of 45 mg./l00 ml. BSAP between two specimens indicates a significant difference at the P = 0.05 level). Variables such as temperature, freezing and thawing, speed of addition of perchloric acid, and total protein content of serum have no practical influence on the final SM values. A modification in technic involving determinations on three different dilutions of a specimen gives differences greater than those found with the standard procedure for sera from patients with an inflammatory condition.

Lupine seeds are promising soy replacement in food products and feeds. Eighteen cultivars of blue lupine seeds were examined to indicate the one most favourable in protein content and quality. Two parameters were studied, i.e. total protein content (with the Kjeldahl method) and amino acids composition (with the ultra performance liquid chromatography technique). Both parameters studied were variable and depended both on the cultivar and on the place of cultivation. Protein content was in the range of 28–41% and the worst cultivar, regardless of cultivation place, was cv. Kalif (average total protein content 29.37 ± 1.14%), while the best cultivar was Boruta (average total protein content 37.43 ± 0.98%). The blue lupine seeds were rich especially in leucine (5.3 ± 0.5–9.7 ± 0.5 g/16 g N), threonine (2.4 ± 0.7–4.9 ± 0.1 g/16 g N) and lysine (2.7 ± 0.4–5.6 ± 0.1 g/16 g N). The richest among all amino acids studied were the cv. Bojar seeds from Wiatrowo and cv. Oskar from Przebędowo. It was not possible to choose one cultivar preferable from the nutritional point of view, because a strong influence of cultivation place on protein content and quality was observed, especially as to the precipitation sum.
