Summary

Selective foam separation effectively recovered lysozyme (LZ) over ovalbumin (OA) using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). This method enhances protein separation by forming LZ-SDS complexes, improving recovery efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Separation Science
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Protein separation is crucial in biotechnology and diagnostics.
  • Selective separation of proteins with similar properties remains challenging.
  • Foam separation is a promising technique for biomolecule recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the selective foam separation of a protein mixture (ovalbumin and lysozyme).
  • To evaluate the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on separation efficiency.
  • To model the adsorption behavior of proteins and protein-surfactant complexes.

Main Methods:

  • Continuous foam separation of a mixed protein solution (ovalbumin and lysozyme) at pH 6.0.
  • Addition of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), to the protein mixture.

  • Analysis of experimental data using Langmuir adsorption isotherm model.

    • Main Results:

    • Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) significantly enhanced the selective recovery of lysozyme (LZ) over ovalbumin (OA).
    • A model indicated that cationic lysozyme molecules associate with SDS, forming LZ-SDS complexes.
    • Adsorption of all species, including LZ-SDS complexes, followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
    • LZ-SDS complexes exhibited a significantly higher lyophilic property compared to native proteins.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective foam separation with SDS is an effective method for separating lysozyme from ovalbumin.
    • The formation of LZ-SDS complexes and their adsorption behavior are key to improved separation.
    • Langmuir adsorption isotherm accurately describes the separation process, highlighting the role of lyophilic properties.
