In a previous report we have examined influences of the protein concentrations on the protein waves obtained from the water extracts of aquatic animal meats of 85 species. The result of the above experiment has shown that when we apply cleverly the crossing points which are obtained from the relation between the height of the protein wave and the protein concentration, the qualities in meats of their aquatic animals may be discriminated. However, using the variations in their protein waves, there are many species which can not be distinguished from one another. Therefore, unless other new methods are devised, it can not be expected to carry out a more excellent determination of their species.
In present experiment we have examined influences of CoCl
2 and NH
4Cl concentrations on the protein waves which were obtained from the water extracts of the meats from aquatic animals of 85 species under the same conditions as in a previous experiment. And we have prepared many fundamental data which will be useful in the practical inspection of foods. The result of above experiment is as follows:
In the case of every protein wave of 85 species obtained, each wave height is not directly proportional to the concentration of CoCl
2 or NH
4Cl.
Among the protein waves of 85 species obtained, the protein waves having the crossing points are of 40 species in the case of the experiment of CoCl
2 concentration and are of 31 species in the case of that of NH
4Cl concentration.
In the case of every height curve and crossing point in the protein waves obtained from the experiments of CoCl
2 and NH
4Cl concentrations, there is a tendency that they are analogous to one another. Consequently, there are many species which can not be distinguished from one another. However, since there is a characteristic change in the protein waves of many species, it is true that the obtained protein waves may be useful in the practical inspection of foods.
