Quantification of milk and egg proteins in biological samples collected during autopsy
Autoptic sample | Total sample (mL) | Total sample (g) | Milk proteins | Egg white proteins | ||
Concentration in freeze-dried sample (mg/kg) m±SD | Concentration in the original sample (mg/kg) m±SD | Total protein in biological sample (mg) average value | Concentration in freeze-dried sample (mg/kg) | |||
Vomit | 62.5 | 70.6 | 11.50±2.44 | 2.05±0.44 | 0.145 | <0.13* |
Gastric content as such | 132.5 | 163.6 | 3.43±0.28 | 0.94±0.08 | 0.154 | <0.13* |
Neutralised gastric content | 65.0 | 78.3 | 7.50±1.06 | 1.84±0.23 | 0.144 | <0.13* |
Solid material in gastric content as such | – | 3.43† | NC | |||
Solid material in neutralised gastric content | – | 2.93† | NC | |||
Total material collected | 0.433 |
*Average on two data due to the paucity of sample.
†Limit of quantification=0.13 mg/kg of egg white proteins.
