Separation of Egg White Using HPLC with Change of Mobile Phase and Temperature

Lysozyme in egg white functions as bacteriolysis agent and ovalbumin plays a role as antigen in immune system. Egg white analysis methods usually include electrophoresis, gel permeation chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC(RP-HPLC). Among them, RP-HPLC was selected for rapid analysis and C18 column(Agilent, USA) was used as HPLC column. Optimum conditions were searched by changing mobile phase and temperature. Capacity factor and resolution were calculated and compared for various elution conditions. In the isocratic elution, mobile phase volume ratio was changed from 30/70/0.1 to 60/40/0.1(Acetonitrile(ACN)/Distilled water(DW)/Trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)). ACN composition was increased by 10% and temperature was set as $20^{\circ}C$. In the gradient elution, ACN/DW ratio was changed from 10/90 to 60/40 during 20 minute and temperature was varied as 20, 30 and $40^{\circ}C$. In the isocratic elution, three peaks were separated at 50/50/0.1. Lysozyme and ovalbumin were confirmed as first and third peak in three peaks respectively. In the gradient elution, four peaks were separated at $30^{\circ}C$. Lysozyme and ovalbumin were confirmed as first peak and third peak in four peaks respectively.

HPLC에서 이동상 변화와 온도에 따른 난백의 분리

난백에 함유된 lysozyme은 용균작용을 하며 ovalbumin은 면역계에서 항원으로써 역할을 한다. 난백분석에는 일반적으로 전기영동, 겔 투과 크로마토그래피, reversed-phase HPLC(RP-HPLC)를 사용하는데 신속한 분석을 위해 RPHPLC가 사용된다. HPLC 컬럼으로 C18 컬럼(Agilent, USA)을 사용하였다. 최적의 분리조건을 찾기 위해 이동상의 조성과 온도를 변화하였고 용량인자, 분리도를 계산하여 그 값을 비교하였다. 등용매 용리에서 acetonitrile(ACN), distilled ater(DW), trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)의 이동상 부피비를 30/70/0.1~60/40/0.1로 ACN 부피비를 10%씩 증가시키며 실험하였고 이 때 온도는 $20^{\circ}C$이었다. 기울기 용리에서는 ACN과 증류수의 비율을 20분 동안 10/90~60/40으로 증가시켰고 20, 30, $40^{\circ}C$의 온도변화를 주었다. 등용매 용리에서 이동상 조성이 50/50/0.1일 때 세 개의 피크로 분리되었고 개의 피크 중 첫 번째 피크가 lysozyme, 세 번째 피크가 ovalbumin임을 확인하였다. 기울기 용리에서는 온도가 $30^{\circ}C$일 때 네 개의 피크가 나왔으며 네 개의 피크 중 첫 번째 피크가 lysozyme, 세 번째 피크가 ovalbumin임을 확인하였다.
