| Abstract | The objective of this study is to understand the influence of pH and effect of cosolvent (glucose) on the stabilization of bovine α-lactalbumin by using ultrasonic techniques. Values of density, ultrasonic velocity and viscosity were measured for bovine α-lactalbumin (5 mg/ml) dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 2, 5, 7, 9 and 12) solutions mixed with and without the cosolvent at 30 °C. These measurements were used to calculate few thermo-acoustical parameters such as adiabatic compressibility, intermolecular free length, acoustic impedance, relaxation time, relative association constant, the partial apparent specific volume and the partial apparent specific adiabatic compressibility for the said systems. The obtained results revealed a strong comparison between the effects of acidic and alkaline pH values on protein denaturation, i.e., the acidic pH are instantaneous and are of less magnitude whereas alkaline pH are slower but sharper. Further the present study supports the fact that the presence of glucose stabilizes α-lactalbumin against denaturation due to pH variation, which may be due to the strengthening of non-covalent interactions and the steric exclusion effect. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
