Royal jelly (RJ) is an important functional food, is used for many
purposes. New methods are needed for the practical characterization of royal
jelly. In this preliminary study, SDS-PAGE electrophoretic profiles of royal
jelly proteins were investigated. Raw royal jelly samples were analyzed by
classical SDS-PAGE electrophoresis using 5% and 10% gels. The major protein
spot were obtained at the samples collected same regions. Compared the proteins
with known marker proteins they were between 50 and 80 kDa. Classical SDS-PAGE
electrophoresis alone is not sufficient to determine royal jelly proteins, but
can be used to basic characterization of royal jelly. Furthers electrophoretic
techniques are needed for a better separation.
