Protein analysis for Food / Feed 

Eurosequence offers a broad range of individual protein and amino acid analyses services that are
very useful for the characterization of protein or peptide containing foods like protein content; free
amino acid content of beer, juices; specific properties and peptide profiles in Food / Feed applications
like hypo-allergenic (baby) foods.

Most relevant type of analysis are listed below.

• Amino Acid Analysis (AAA) both hydrolyzed and/or unhydrolyzed sample for respectively
  protein concentration or free amino acid protein concentration determinations (molar ratios
  of amino acids)
  
  
• Peptide mapping / LC profiling, or LC-MS / MS or off-line HPLC / MALDI-TOF MS/MS for extensive characterization of peptides present in complex protein hydrolysates
  
  
• Identification of post-translational modifications e.g. acetylation, glycosylation,
  phosphorylation of peptides present in protein hydrolysates.
  
  
• Molecular weight distribution / Aggregation analysis using SEC-HPLC
  
  
• Hypoallergenic Food Analysis:  We offer a unique service for the determination of peptide
  lengths and their relative abundances in (very) complex mixtures like protein hydrolysates
  for the development of hypo-allergenic (baby) food.
