Abstract
A process for preparing lysozyme is provided which is characterized by mixing the egg white or its diluted solution with diatomaceous earth, kaolin, zeolite, or the mixtures thereof, and followed by eluting the adsorbed lysozyme with a salt solution. The diatomaceous earth, kaolin, and zeolite can specifically adsorb the lysozyme in egg white, and the adsorbed lysozyme can be easily eluted with a salt solution. According to the process of the present invention, the lysozyme in egg white can be easily and effectively isolated.
