Abstract

Proteins were extracted from an aqueous phase with reversed micelles. The effect of pH, and salt concentration on the solubilization of lysozyme in AOT/isooctane solution was studied to explore the potential for employing this solvent system in the large-scale recovery and concentration of proteins using liquid extraction. For pH values below the isoelectric point, pl of the protein, solubilization was high, probably owing to strong electrostatic interactions between the positively charged proteins and the anionic surfactant heads forming the inner micelle wall. At low ionic strength complete solubilization of the protein was observed. A pH higher than the pl of lysozyme and a salt concentration lower than that of the water pool were required for the recovery aqueous phase to ensure the back extraction of lysozyme from the AOT reversed micelles.

Lysozyme 수용액으로부터 역미셀을 이용한 Lysozyme 추출공정에서 주요변수인 pH, 이온강도, AOT 농도, 추출시간 등을 실험을 통하여 연구하였으며, 미셀내의 수분함량과 lysozyme 농도는 비례관계임을 KCl 농도변화에 따른 결과로서 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용된 lysozyme의 등전점이 약 11.2로 음이온 계면활성제를 사용할 경우 추출공정에 유리함을 알 수 있었고, 추출공정(forward extraction)에서의 최적조건은 pH 6-9일 때, 그리고 0.1 M 염농도와 50 mM이하의 AOT 농도에서 가장 높은 lysozyme 추출 효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 역추출(back extraction)에서는 pH 12이상, 1M 염농도에서 Lysozyme의 가장 높은 추출 효율을 나타내었다.
