Abstract
TRICHLOROACETIC acid (TCA) is widely used as a protein coagulant in the preparation of protein-free sera; but there is little information concerning its mode of action. Rowland1 has shown that the complete separation of protein from milk requires a concentration of 8 per cent TCA at room temperature. We have determined tlie amounts of TCA bound by milk proteins at this concentration (Table 1).
