This invention relates to the field of
protein extraction technology, specifically disclosing a method for the simultaneous co-production and extraction of
egg white lysozyme and
ovotransferrin, comprising: (1)
Egg white pretreatment: after
dilution, adjust the pH to 4.5, filter out the ovomucin precipitate, and then adjust the supernatant to pH 8.0-9.0. (2) Cation exchange separation of
lysozyme: adsorb onto a cation exchange column of the pretreatment solution, collect the permeate and eluent as the
egg white flow-through solution; elute the
lysozyme, and obtain the lysozyme product by concentration, desalting, sterilization, and
drying. (3) Anion exchange separation of
ovotransferrin: after adjusting the flow-through solution to pH 5.5-6.0, load onto an
anion exchange column, elute to remove impurities, and collect the permeate containing
ovotransferrin. (4)
Iron removal and
drying: concentrate by
ultrafiltration, dialyze with
citrate buffer for desalting and preliminary
iron removal, then remove bound iron by
chelating resin, and dry to obtain the iron-free ovotransferrin product.
