摘要 | In current palaeodietary research, gelatinization is the main method to extract insoluble collagen (ISC) from ancient bones. However, the degradation products of ISC, i.e., soluble collagen (SC), is often neglected and abandoned. In this work, we try to separate the extracts of ancient bones using gel chromatography and compare the contents of carbon and nitrogen, atomic C/N ratio, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of the extracts from three peaks to determine which peak can be attributed to SC. At last, the potential application of SC in palaeodietary research is discussed based on the comparison of stable isotopic values between ISC and SC. Among the three peaks, the second with the retention time between 17.5 min and 27.5 min had the most broad peak shape, indicating that the molecular weights of proteins collected were most variable. Besides, the contents of carbon and nitrogen and atomic C/N ratio of extracts in this peak were closest to the corresponding ISC. Based on the above, we conclude that the extract in second peak is SC. More important, the delta C-13 and delta N-15 values of ISC and SC are very similar. For ISC and SC with atomic C/N ratios within the normal range (2.9-3.6), the mean difference of delta C-13 value was only (0.3 +/- 0.2)aEuro degrees (n=2) while delta N-15 value was (0.6 +/- 0.1)aEuro degrees (n=2). Although the atomic C/N ratios of some SC are slightly beyond the normal range, the mean differences of delta C-13 and delta N-15 values were still only (0.4 +/- 0.1)aEuro degrees and (0.3 +/- 0)aEuro degrees (n=2) respectively. These isotopic differences are quite below the isotope fractionation in one trophic level (delta C-13 values of 1aEuro degrees aEuro"1.5aEuro degrees and delta N-15 values of 3aEuro degrees aEuro"5aEuro degrees), suggesting that SC had great application potentials in palaeodietary research. |
