One appall contained a solidified whitish mass, too every bit canvass stuff that mightiness convey covered the appall or been used to save its contents. Enrico Greco in addition to colleagues wanted to analyze the whitish pith to decide its identity.
After dissolving the sample, the researchers purified its poly peptide constituents in addition to analyzed them with liquid chromatography in addition to volume spectrometry. The peptides detected past times these techniques demo the sample was a dairy production made from moo-cow milk in addition to sheep or caprine animal milk.
The characteristics of the canvass fabric, which dot it was suitable for containing a solid rather than a liquid, in addition to the absence of other specific markers, back upwards the determination that the dairy production was a solid cheese.
