Notes:
: Red cell concentrate, serum, albumin, and immunoglobulin fractions were separated from porcine blood collected at a HACCP-implemented (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system-implemented) slaughterhouse in Hermosillo, México. Functional and microbiological properties were examined. Red cell concentrate and serum isolates were high in protein (92 and 85%, respectively) but limited in methionine and isoleucine. Porcine serum and albumin fractions showed emulsifying properties comparable to bovine sources. Porcine immunoglobulins were 96% soluble. All fractions were of excellent microbiological quality. These results indicate the optimal sanitary conditions during slaughter and processing procedures, as well as the potential functionality of porcine protein fractions.
