We investigated the purifications of PE-gal and CPN-gal, synthesized by transgalactosylation reaction using recombinant ${\beta}$-gal. The reaction mixture containing PE and PE-gal was first mixed with EA, and thereafter PE and PE-gal were distributed in two-phase (EA/water) system. In this system, PE and PE-gal was selectively moved into EA and water phase, respectively. Then, the water phase was collected, and silica gel chromatography was carried out using the collected water phase. Finally, we compared two purified PE-gal samples using HPLC and TLC analysis, in which the one was purified only by silica gel chromatography and the other was purified by EA extraction followed by silica gel chromatography. In the latter case, the residual PE was almost completely removed, whereas, in the former case, the residual PE was remained remarkably. Additionally, the purification yield of PE-gal was about 21% on the basis of mole. In the same purification protocol, CPN-gal was able to be purified using EA extraction followed by silica gel chromatography, in which the residual CPN was almost removed when CPN-gal was purified by EA extraction followed by silica gel chromatography.
