Summary

A method is described for the quantitative estimation of a mixture of whey proteins by spectrophotometric scanning of the stained protein bands following polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The incorporation of β-lactoglobulin A as an internal standard improves the accuracy of the technique. The method has been used to measure residual native whey proteins in milk after heating. Results are presented for whey protein denaturation in skim-milk after heat treatment at 130 and 140 °C for various periods of time.
