RESUMO

The aim of this study was to optimize the preparation of chitosan gel and to use it for protein purification. The optimized preparation parameters were chitosan concentration 2.0%, glutaraldehyde concentration 0.6%, low cross-linking rate, NaOH concentration 1.6%, amount of NaBH4 0.4 g. In order to use the chitosan gel, the elution conditions were optimized as follows. NaCl concentration 0.05 mol/L in the tris-HCl (pH 9.05) at the flow rate of 2.03.0 mL/min. Particle size of chitosan gel was 120-140 µm. Neutral protease could be separated into four ingredients through chitosan gel column. The yield of enzyme was more than 90%. Albumin bovine serum could be separated into two ingredients through gel column and the total yield of albumin bovine serum was more than 70%.
