PH adjustment for BSA-Dextran conjugates

01 January 1970 1 3K Report

In an article, to make BSA-Dextran Maillard conjugates, the pH of the BSA and Dextran mixtures were adjusted to 8. I could not find anywhere why they adjust the pH to 8. Why could it be?

Artlicle link: Article Synthetic surfactant- and cross-linker-free preparation of h...

I think you can send this question to the authors. For Marillard reactions, we will optimize the pH conditions.
