Determination of caprine serum albumin in milk using bromocresol green dye
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to develop and validate a colorimetric assay to measure caprine serum albumin (CSA) concentrations in milk. The principle of the say was based on the binding of albumin to bromocresol green (BCG) dye at pH 4.0. The absorption of the dye-albumin complex was determined spectrophotometrically at 640 nm. A linear relationship existed between CSA concentrations (0.01 to 8.0 mg/ml) and absorbance values. Intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation for the proposed assay were 2.6% and 12% respectively. Recovery from milk samples spiked with albumins was 89.15% ± 7.6%. The developed assay was validated using 126 milk samples collected from lactating Saanen goats at various stages of lactation`. Caprine serum albumin concentrations in milk ranged between 0.31 and 0.52 mg/ml. The concentrations of CSA were significantly higher (p < 0.05) at the beginning of lactation, declined rapidly and remained relatively stable in mature milk. Caprine serum albumin correlated positively (p < 0.05) with milk somatic cell counts, total solids, protein, fat and whey and correlated negatively (p < 0.05) with milk lactose and casein concentrations. It was concluded that the proposed BCG dye-binding method is easy to perform, rapid, sensitive, reliable and can be used to determine CSA concentrations in milk collected from goats under different physiological conditions.

Bromocresol purple, a non-specific colour reagent for the determination of serum albumin.
The determination of serum albumin with the dye reagent bromocresol purple was investigated. We found that bromocresol purple is not a specific reagent for albumin, but that serum proteins in the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-globulin fractions also react with this dye. Similar results were obtained for bromocresol green. Furthermore there is a great difference in absorbance between human and bovine...

The bromocresol purple methods for the determination of serum albumin on the Technicon SMAC and the DuPont ACA systems were evaluated and compared with the corresponding bromocresol green methods, a radial immunodiffusion (RID) and an electrophoresis technique. The linearity and precision of the dye binding methods were comparable. The bromocresol purple methods were more influenced by lipaemia...

Fibrinolytic enzymes have wide applications in clinical and waste treatment. Bacterial isolates were screened for fibrinolytic enzyme producing ability by skimmed milk agar plate using bromocresol green dye, fibrin plate method, zymography analysis, and goat blood clot lysis. After these sequential screenings, Bacillus sp. IND12 was selected for fibrinolytic enzyme production. Bacillus sp. IND1...
