Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) constitutes an interesting proposal to speed protein separations but it is almost not explored. In this work UHPLC is proposed, for the first time, to separate olive pulp proteins. An important difficulty in the analysis of proteins is related to their extraction. The difficulty in the extraction of proteins from the olive pulp is derived from its high content in lipids and phenolic compounds. Eight different methods for the extraction of pulp proteins were designed and evaluated. The optimized extraction procedure consisted of a cleaning step to remove interfering compounds, followed by the extraction of proteins with a Tris–HCl buffer containing sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and dithiothreitol (DTT), precipitation of proteins with acetone, and solubilization in the Tris–HCl buffer. This methodology yielded the most successful isolation of pulp proteins and enabled the optimization of a UHPLC methodology for their separation. The method was applied to the profiling of olive pulp proteins from different olive cultivars observing in all cases a protein that had never been described before.
