Study on Seed Protein ofTrichosanthis Fructus from Same Planting Base in Shandong Province / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to investigate the seed protein of different forms ofTrichosanthis fructus from Shandong province. UV analyzer was used to analyze the seed protein content. PAGE fingerprint was drawn by Biosens Gel Imaging System software. The Jaccard coefficient was worked out by using NTSYS-pc software. A cluster dendrogram of different samples was established based on unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA). The results showed that the content of different samples was obviously different. But there were many common bands in the fingerprints of PAGE. It was concluded that the content of seed protein cannot be used as the main index to evaluate the quality ofTrichosanthis fructus. The common bands in fingerprints of PAGE can be used to identifyTrichosanthis fructus.
