The invention belongs to the field of
deep processing of garlic, and particularly discloses a method for purifying
alliinase by double-water-phase separation. The method comprises the following steps: (1) peeling and precooling garlic squamous bulbs, immersing in a precooled extract, homogenizing, centrifuging, and discarding garlic
slag, thereby obtaining the supernate crude
enzyme solution; (2) dissolving
ammonium sulfate,
sodium dihydrogen
phosphate or
trisodium citrate in a Britton-Robinson
buffer solution, oscillating to completely dissolve, adding a PEG (
polyethylene glycol) solution, evenly mixing by oscillation, and standing for
phase splitting, thereby obtaining a double-water-phase extractant; (3) adding the crude
enzyme solution into the double-water-phase extractant, oscillating, centrifuging, and standing for
phase splitting; and (4) ultrafiltering the lower phase of the enriched
alliinase, and carrying out vacuum
freeze drying on the trapped fluid to obtain the
alliinase solid. The method is simple to operate, has the advantages of simple apparatuses, time saving, low cost, and higher alliinase purification multiple and
enzyme activity
recovery rate than the prior art, and can easily implement scale-up production.
