Abstract: | An acid-sensitive fraction (ASF) was prepared from defatted soybean meals by two procedures. ASF1 was prepared by precipitation at pH 4.5 followed by removal of 1 m NaCl-soluble materials from the precipitate. ASF2 was prepared by precipitation in solution containing 1 m NaCl at pH 4.5. The protein components of the two fractions were analyzed by gel electrophoresis in a dissociating-buffer system and found to contain β-conglycinin, glycinin and whey proteins. In addition to these, several other bands appeared.Appreciable amounts of lipid (8.2% in ASF1 and 8.8% in ASF2) were also found in the fractions. They were separated by column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Glycolipids were the major components of the lipids. Both glycolipid and phospholipid fractions contained slower-moving materials on thin-layer chromatography. |
