EXPLANATION
Casein Fractionation
- Analytical Fractionation of Non-Protein Nitrogen (NPN) in Milk:
- Standard Definition (Rowland Fractionation Protocol):
- Non-Protein Nitrogen (NPN) is chemically defined as the nitrogen fraction that remains soluble in 12% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) solution.
- 12% TCA quantitatively precipitates all proteins (caseins and native/denatured whey proteins), leaving only low-molecular-weight nitrogenous compounds (urea, creatine, creatinine, free amino acids, peptides) in the filtrate.
- Conclusion: (A) only (Option 2).
Correct option: (2) (A) only,
