Abstract

Introduction: Protein is one of the main nutritional components of our life. It helps reduce many illnesses in the body. Protein contains genetic materials and also provides nourishment to cells. Here, we are studying cereals and meat varieties that contain the most protein. Based on our previous knowledge, we selected food sources that contain high amounts of protein such as green grams, black peas, goat liver, goat bone marrow, and fish muscle.
Method: In this research, we used Bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a standard protein. The Lowrey method was used to estimate the protein value in samples.
Results: The concentration of protein in goat bone marrow, goat liver, fish muscle, black peas, and green gram is 0.862, 0.497, 0.474, 0.105, and 0.018 mg/mL respectively. The highest protein concentration was found in goat bone marrow (0.862 mg/mL).
Conclusion: The study showed that goat bone marrow has the highest protein content as compared to goat liver, fish muscle, black peas, and green gram.
