Method validation for simultaneous quantification of whey proteins in dietary supplements by HPLC

Abstract

A HPLC method has been validated for simultaneous determination of Alpha-lactalbumin (α- LA) and Beta- lactoglobulin (β-LG) contents in dietary supplements by HPLC-PDA. The method was carried out in C18 column with a gradient of 0.1% TFA/ water – 0.1% TFA/ acetonitrile as mobile phase. The proteins were detected at 215 nm wavelength within 50 minutes. The method was validated in specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy; and then was applied to analyze several random dietary supplements.
