Development and evaluation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for the detection of gelatin sources
Gelatin is derived from partial hydrolysis of type I collagen (connective tissues such as skin, bone, tendon and ligament), which is commonly obtained from mammalian sources (bovine and porcine). However, the use of gelatin derived from mammalian sources in confectionery and pharmaceutical produc...

| description |
Gelatin is derived from partial hydrolysis of type I collagen (connective tissues such
as skin, bone, tendon and ligament), which is commonly obtained from mammalian
sources (bovine and porcine). However, the use of gelatin derived from mammalian
sources in confectionery and pharmaceutical products have become a controversial
issue regarding to religious and health concern. Additionally, it was reported that
porcine gelatin has been surreptitiously added to edible bird’s nests (EBNs) to
increase their net weight prior to sale. Thus, a reliable technique for the
determination and detection of gelatin sources is necessary in order to protect and
reassure consumers against food fraud. This study concerns two issues; (i)
determination of gelatin sources in confectionery and pharmaceutical products and
(ii) determination and detection of porcine gelatin adulterant in EBN. There are some
reports for gelatin sources differentiation by analysis of their amino acids. Those
specific peptides can be used as specific biomarkers for gelatin sources
differentiation and detection. Thus the aims of this study were to develop and
evaluate the potential biomarker of porcine marker peptides using enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and determination of porcine gelatin
in processed products.
Collagen α2 (I) chain protein of 125 kDa molecular weight showed resistance against
heat and detectable in the studied commercial processed products when analyzed by
sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Three
porcine species-specific amino acid sequences of GFPGSPGNVGPAGK (Peptide 1)
and GIPGEFGLPGPAGPR (Peptide 2) of collagen α2 (I) chain and
SGDRGETGPAGPAGPVGPVGAR (Peptide 3) of collagen α1 (I) chain were
selected for raising polyclonal antibodies (pAbs). Three competitive indirect ELISAs
were developed using pAbs against the aforementioned porcine species-specific
amino acid sequences of collagen α2 (I) chain to obtain pAb1 and pAb2, and α1 (I)
chain to obtain pAb3. The limit of detection (IC15) of the three competitive indirect
ELISAs was 0.033, 0.082 and 0.052, μg/mL respectively. The median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of pAb1, pAb2 and pAb3 was 0.265, 0.394 and 0.228 μg/mL,
respectively. All pAbs were able to recognize mammalian gelatin, while pAb2 and
pAb3 exhibited moderate cross-reactivity (≤15 – 1%) toward fish and chicken
gelatin. The specificity of the developed ELISAs was not influenced by the process
type (type A or type B) and the origin of the collagen (skin or bone). Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that slight difference of the
infrared spectra between Amide II and III regions of gelatin may influence the
sensitivity of this immunoassay. Seventy commercially processed products (i.e.
jellies, gummies, premix powders and hard shell capsules) were examined, 7% of
samples showed false-positive results when analyzed using competitive indirect
ELISA based on pAb2.
Competitive and non-competitive ELISAs were developed as to provide quantitative
and qualitative measurements of porcine gelatin in EBN respectively. Based on
developed competitive ELISAs, pAb1 and pAb2 have showed moderate crossreactivity
with cave nest and blood cave nest, respectively. Both pAbs exhibited
moderate cross-reactivity with egg white. No cross-reactivity (<1%) was observed
with EBNs and egg white for pAb3. pAb3 has showed best sensitivity, specificity,
accuracy and repeatability compared to pAb2 and pAb1. While for non-competitive
indirect ELISAs, all pAbs were able to detect at least 0.05% porcine gelatin in spiked
samples of EBNs. However, pAb1 exhibited slight cross-reactivity toward orange,
cave and house nests. In conclusion, the study indicated that the developed ELISAs
utilizing the anti-peptide pAbs would be a good strategy for the detection and
determination of gelatin sources in processed products. |
