Abstract
The analysis of polyphenols, which are characteristic of certain legumes, enables a rapid and sensitive detection of legume proteins in meat products. Separation of specific isoflavones can be achieved by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), both coupled with a photodiode array detector (DAD). The use of CZE in the identification process is an appropriate means of rapid screening; the HPLC is less dependent on matrix effects and clearly more sensitive. Additives of soy protein isolates up to 0.1% could be detected in meat products, even in sausages heated to a high temperature or with hydrolyzed soy proteins. A solid-phase extraction procedure with polyamide cartridges has been developed to concentrate polyphenols. A similar detection of lupin protein is possible in principle. In the case of pea protein, a reliable detection was not possible depending on the coincidental appearance of polyphenols as indicating substances.
