Skalka V., Shakhno N., Ečer J., Čurda L. (2017): Separation of immunoglobulins from colostrum using methods based on salting-out techniques. Czech J. Food Sci., This study aimed to obtain a purified IgG fraction from bovine colostrum using salting-out precipitation methods as base techniques. As the first step after skimming of colostrum, isoelectric precipitation or rennet coagulation were used for casein removal. IgG concentrations in raw material and final products were determined using the ELISA method. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis was used for purity determination of the final fraction of IgG. According to the obtained results, the combination of precipitation, gel filtration, and cross-flow filtration techniques enables to separate the IgG fraction with purity up to 90% and yield up to 91%. Acid whey has a higher yield in comparison with sweet whey and both ammonium sulphate and sodium sulphate have similar effectivity for precipitation of IgG. The final concentrate of IgG can be used as a standalone product or as an additive to other food supplements.
Ultrafiltered (UF) milk permeate was concentrated by reverse osmosis (RO). UF and UF + RO samples were then desalted by electrodialysis (ED) to three levels of desalination: 1, 2.5, and 4 % of ash in the dry matter. Ions were analyzed by a new high‐performance liquid chromatography method, which enables simultaneous estimation of cations and anions. ED of UF permeate has some advantages over that of UF + RO samples, including a shorter ED time and a higher average salt flow rate, but RO treatment of UF permeate before ED enables the processing of larger volumes of UF permeate. Therefore, ED of milk permeate, particularly after RO, improves the handling characteristics and may offer advantages for further processing of secondary dairy products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
