ABSTRACT An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS) method coupled with a principal component analysis (PCA) was developed and applied toward identifying donkey-hide gelatin, bovine-hide gelatin, pig-hide gelatin, tortoise shell glue, and deerhorn glue. The UPLC-MS data of the trypsin digested samples were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) in order to classify these five gelatins. Additionally, marker peptides given by the loadings plot of PCA were identified based on a comparison of recorded LC-MS data with a previously reported database of the corresponding gelatin variants. The results from this study indicate that the proposed method is reliable, and it has been successfully applied to the identification of variants of gelatins commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

  • Article: Comparative study of the physiological properties of collagen, gelatin and collagen hydrolysate as cosmetic materials.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: The cell biological properties of collagen, gelatin and collagen hydrolysate (<15 000 Da) were studied using murine keratinocytes. Keratinocyte culture experiments demonstrated that only collagen had significant effects on cell attachment and proliferation, but the results of cells cultured on gelatin and collagen hydrolysate showed the rates of adhesion and proliferation were similar to those of cells cultured on plastic as a control. It is concluded that collagen has better physiological effects than those of gelatin and collagen hydrolysate as skin-care cosmetic materials.

  • Article: Differentiation of bovine and porcine gelatins using principal component analysis.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Gelatin is a collagen derivative, which has a large application in the pharmaceutical, food and adhesive industries as well as photography. The large similarity in structure and properties of gelatins from different origins makes their differentiation difficult. Certain chemometric methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA), can help to classify and characterize gelatin components. In this study 14 bovine and 5 porcine gelatins were examined. The analysis procedure involved complete hydrolysis of samples by classic acid hydrolysis in order to release their amino acid residues. Separation and determination of amino acids was achieved by reversed-phase (RP) HPLC following pre-column derivatisation. Orthophtaldialdehyde (OPA) and 4-chloro-7-nitro benzofurazane (NBD-Cl) were used as derivatisation reagents. From the 20 peaks detected by HPLC analysis, one was very typical in bovine gelatin. Peak height, area, area percentage and width were used to make matrixes. Principal component analysis with the MATLAB program was used to differentiate these gelatins. PCA on matrix of height, width and total matrix were resulted in good differentiation between bovine and porcine gelatins.

  • Article: Differentiation of bovine from porcine gelatines using polyclonal anti-peptide antibodies in indirect and competitive indirect ELISA.
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Gelatine is a collagen derivative obtained from bones and hides/skin mainly from bovine and pigs. As a consequence of the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), the use of bovine gelatine in feed, food and pharmaceutical products has been restricted by regulatory authorities. However, no method was presently available for its specific detection. The large similarity in amino-acid sequences of collagens from different species make their immunochemical differentiation difficult when using polyclonal antibodies raised against the whole molecule [A. Venien, D. Levieux, J. Immunoassay Immunochem., in press]. To obtain bovine-specific antibodies, we immunized rabbits against putative species-specific sequences of the bovine collagen alpha 1(I) chain. Using these antibodies, an indirect ELISA was developed to allow a quick and easy differentiation between bovine and porcine gelatines. Moreover, a competitive indirect ELISA was found suitable to detect bovine gelatine in porcine gelatine purchased from laboratory chemicals suppliers down to a dilution of 2-4 parts per 1000 with CVs ranging from 5.7 to 7.7%. When testing mixtures of the largest possible range of industrial batches of bovine and porcine gelatines (skin/hides or bones origin, acid or alkaline processes, high or low Bloom) the detection limit was down to a dilution of 8 parts per 100 bovine gelatine in porcine gelatine. These ELISAs could be routinely used by pharmaceutical and food manufacturers to secure their supply chain.
