The effect of physical and chemical treatments on crude protein fractions of canola and safflower seeds using CNCPS and SDS-PAGE

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of physical and chemical processing on crude protein fractions of two varieties of canola (Okapi and Modena) and safflower (62 and Zarfan) seed using cornel net carbohydrate and protein system and on protein subunits using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Formaldehyde was used as chemical treatment, while toasting and autoclaving were used as physical treatments. In vitro protein fractionations were determined to find out the contribution of different protein fractions (A, B1, B2, B3, C and NDIP). Results showed that there was significant difference in OM, CP, EE, NDF and ADF in canola and safflower seeds (p
