Abstract
A Western blotting method for the detection of whey milk proteins in commercial soymilks was applied to assess the food safety. Soy proteins and milk proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE in PhastSystem equipment. After the electrophoretic separation, immunodetection with anti-bovine α-lactalbumin and anti-bovine β-lactoglobulin antisera was performed. Adulteration with bovine protein in percentages of 0.1% in soy protein can be detected. Western blotting of bovine α-lactalbumin and bovine β-lactoglobulin was applied to detect adulteration by bovine milk proteins in different soymilks: powdered soymilk and soy infant formulas.
