Claims10
A process for purifying lipoxygenase from plant matter including the steps of:
- extracting lipoxygenase from a plant matter into an aqueous solution to form an extract;
- providing the extract with a pH below the isoelectric point of lipoxygenase to selectively precipitate compounds from the extract while retaining lipoxygenase in solution, to form an acidified extract;
- separating the precipitated compounds from the acidified extract, to provide a purified extract of lipoxygenase.
