Abstract: To make a comparison of different hydrophobic chromatography columns for separating major royal
jelly protein 1 (MRJP 1), and choose a suitable one to separate MRJP 1 oligomer and MRJP 1 monomer. Methods: Totally 12
kinds of hydrophobic chromatography columns were applied to separate crude royal jelly protein, then the MRJP 1 oligomer
and MRJP 1 monomer fractions were verified by native gel electrophoresis. Results: MRJP 1 was completely isolated by
hydrophobic interaction chromatography on Hitrap Butyl HP, and an MRJP 1 oligomer fraction and an MRJP 1 monomer
fraction were obtained. Conclusion: Hydrophobic chromatographic column provides an effective approach to separate
MRJP 1 from royal jelly.

Key words: major royal jelly protein 1, hydrophobic chromatography column, native gel electrophoresis, protein separation
