Stanovení různých forem kaseinu v mléce / Determination of different forms of casein in milk

Casein proteins are important escpecially for cheese making. In addition to technology and other factors, casein concentration in milk and relative representation of individual casein fractions influence cheese yield. Majority fractions are alfa-casein, beta-casein and kappa-casein. For the determination of proteins in the milk can be used electrophoretic techniques or near infra-red spektrometry. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is going to be used. HPLC is widely used analytical method, which is based on differential affinity of the substances to the mobile and the stationary phase.
The thesis has introduced the method of determining the casein fractions by HPLC. The method was partially optimized using cow milk and calibrated to the standard solutions, which were purchased casein fractions derived from the bovine milk. Real samples of cow, sheep and goat milk were analyzed. The goat milk was available in several variants: Sanski goat milk and white shorthair goat from domestic or farm breeding. All milk samples were analyzed for casein and casein fractions proportions. Chromatograms show that the casein formula is different in cow, sheep and goat milk. Different concentrations of the casein fraction in the milk of various animal species have been statistically detected in almost all cases. The exception was the concentration of beta-casein in the milk of white shorthair goat from the domestic and the farm breeding and cow milk. In these types of milk there was no statistically significant difference in the concentration of beta-casein. Analysis of individual samples of white shorthair goat milk from the farm breeding shown that casein content in the milk of different animals reared under the same conditions may be different. Ratios of beta-casein to alfa-casein, beta-casein to kappa-casein and alfa-casein to kappa-casein were evaluated in all samples. Interspecific comparisons proved that ratios were statistically significantly different in all milks. In the milk of Sanski goat, there was found the stable ratio of beta-casein to alfa-casein during lactation. For all goat milk there were typical higher values of the ratio of beta-casein to kappa-casein. The ratio of alfa-casein to kappa-casein was highest in the sheep milk. Despite some shortcomings, it is possible to use the HPLC method possible for these purposes, but it is necessary to continue with its optimization.
