A METHOD TO DIFFERENTIATE GELATIN CAPSULE OF THE PORCINE SOURCE FROM THE BOVINE SOURCE

摘要

A method to differentiate a gelatin capsule of a porcine source from a bovine source which comprising the steps of: (a) extracting a protein from the gelatin capsule using ammonium sulphate precipitation, wherein the amount of sample used is between 150mg to 400mg, preferably 150mg, which is to be dissolved in a 9mL to HmL, preferably 1OmL, of a liquid such as distilled water at a temperature of between 35°C to 50°C, preferably 40°C; and, (b) separating the protein using gel electrophoresis technique, 7.5% SDS- PAGE, which runs at 200V.
