Abstract:With milk as raw material, fat in milk was removed by centrifugation and protein was precipitated using different concentrations and dosages TCA. Afterward, the lactose was concentrated and cAMP was extracted. The best conditions of high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) were obtained to determine the content of cAMP in milk. The results showed that the cAMP content in the 10% TCA treatment group was significantly(P<0.05) higher than the other two groups with different TCA concentrations. The cAMP content in the highest-dosage (8mL)TCA treatment group was significantly lower(P<0.05) than that in the other two TCA treatment groups with the same concentration and different dosages. The highest cAMP content((29.02±1.58)μg/mL) was obtained under the condition of 4mL of 10% TCA. In this study, the extraction method of cAMP from milk was established and could be used to extract cAMP from by-product of cheese, whey, and unqualified raw milk, which had great significance in reducing the extraction cost of cAMP, utilizing waste materials, and increasing the additional value of milk.
