Abstract: A simple and efficient method was developed to separate lysozyme from egg white.And high purity lysozyme was prepared by the developed method.The steps of this method are as follows: diluting egg white with five times volume of phosphate buffer solution (PBS;pH 6.5);stirring for 30 min;adjusting pH value to 4.6;heating at 100 ° C for 20 min;cooling and centrifugation;treating supernatant by fractional precipitation with ammonium sulfate.The precipitate produced with 40%-80% saturated ammonium sulfate was electrophoresis-pure lysozyme.
