Abstract:

Supercritical carbon dioxide anti-solvent crystallization technology was used to prepare ultrafine papain particles to decide the optimal solvent type and solvent volume. Results indicated that the yield of ultrafine papain particles was positively correlated with solvent volume and enzyme activity was negatively correlated with solvent volume at the conditions of DMSO as the solvent. When dimethylformamide was used as the solvent, the yield of papain particles was low, but the high activity of papain particles was observed. The highest activity of papain particles was achieved to be 3484.691 U/mg at the condition of 70% solvent, which is much higher than the original activity of papain (400 U/mg). The ultrafine papain particles could not form when glycerol was used as the solvent. 

Key words: supercritical, anti-solvent crystallization, ultrafine particle papain, enzyme activity
