Abstract

In this paper, the interaction between 2-sulfophenylazo-rhodanine and protein was investigated by Rayleigh light-scattering technique. Based on this, a novel method for the determination of protein was developed. The effects of different conditions, such as acidity and media, were investigated thoroughly, and the optimum conditions were confirmed. Bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) microemulsion, which is introduced into the protein determination, markedly increased the sensitivity of the system by changing the microenvironment. In pH 2.80 Britton-Robinson buffer solution in the presence of AOT microemulsion, the detection limits of bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, ovalbumin, and gamma-globulin are 5.4, 4.5, 9.8, and 10.1 ng/mL, respectively. The method developed in this paper has been applied to the determination of protein in milk powder with satisfactory results.
