“…A list of methods has been reported in the literature for the determination of whey protein fractions: (1) electrophoretic techniques using polyacrylamide gels with urea or sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and two-dimensional techniques (Lindmark-Månsson, Timgren, Aldén, & Paulsson, 2005;Veloso, Teixeira, Peres, Mendonca, & Ferreira, 2004); (2) high-performance liquid chromatography by ion-exchange, hydrophobic interaction, gel filtration and reversed-phase modes (Bramanti et al, 2004;Lozano, Giraldo, & Romero, 2008;Wedholm et al, 2006); and (3) immunological methods (Chen, Huang, Liu, Li, & Mao, 2004), capillary electrophoreses (Heck et al, 2008;Rehder & McGown, 2001) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (Losito et al, 2007). Methods based on immunological and electrophoretic techniques have been proposed to be the most accurate and sensitive techniques (Kaminarides & Koukiassa, 2002).…”
