METHOD OF DETERMINING TROPOMYOSIN IN CHITOSAN

摘要

A method of tropomyosin determination by which the content in chitosan of proteins which may cause an allergic reaction, especially tropomyosin and peptides thereof, can be easily determined with satisfactory precision. It is characterized by subjecting the chitosan in the state of being dissolved in an aqueous solution of an organic acid to immunoassay. Also provided is chitosan in which the found value obtained by the determination method is not higher than a certain value and which is judged to be less apt to cause an allergic reaction.
