A commonly used method for the hydrolysis of proteins prior to amino acid analysis is to treat the protein with 6M hydrochloric, under vacuum, at 110oC
The protein hydrolysis such as casein can be by acid hydrolysis is carried out above 100°C at pH 1–2 using inorganic (hydrochloric, sulfuric, orthophosphoric) acids. The rate of release and destruction of individual amino acids depends mainly on the nature of the protein.
