The aim of this work was to use the conductometry method for the differentiation of the chemically- and enzymatically-modified food proteins. The protein extracts of soybean, bean pea, maize and rice seeds, 3 varieties “Tonacja”, “Nawra” and “Sukces” of wheat, as well bovine serum albumin, pepsin trypsin and acid protein hydrolyzates were investigated. Additionally, proteins were glycated by glucose. It was found that differences of the electrolytic conductivity between native proteins and their hydrolyzates were statistically significant; the electrolytic conductivity of the water protein solutions was directly proportional to the concentration of protein. It was also proved that the concentration of glucose in the protein solution modified its electrolytic conductivity. Moreover, statistically significant differences were observed between native and glycated proteins. Finally, it was stated that the electrolytic conductivity can be a tool for the differentiation of the native and modified proteins.
Phenolic compounds were extracted from lentil seeds (Lens culinaris) using acetone-water, methanol-water and ethanol-water system (8:2 v/v) at 80°C. The content of sugars and phenolic compounds in the extracts was determined colorimetrically. U V spectra were measured and TLC analysis was performed on silica gel to compare phenolic compounds extracted with particular solvent systems. Prevailing amount of sugars and phenolic compounds was extracted by all three solvent systems during the first 15 min of extraction. Acetone-water system extracted markedly greater amounts of phenolic compounds compared with methanol-water or ethanol-water systems. UV spectra of the extracts were similar. In acetone extract, TLC analysis revealed the presence of tannins of higher molecular weight which were not found in ethanol and methanol extracts.
