The objective of this paper was to determine the usefulness and effectiveness of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) applied to separate lysozyme from egg white. The lysozyme separation was carried out in a system composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and potassium phosphate. In the model experiments with pure lysozyme, the optimal process parameters were evaluated. Additionally, the effects of the PEG molecular weight, pH of phosphate solution, and NaCl concentration on the value of the ‘K’ lysozyme partition coefficient were investigated. It was found that with regard to the NaCl concentration range investigated, within this particular two-phase system, the increase in the sodium chloride concentration caused the increase in the value of ‘K’ coefficient. Contrary to this, the increase in the ‘PEG’ molecular weight and in pH values of the phosphate solution caused a decrease in the lysozyme partition coefficient in ATPS. The highest lysozyme separation parameters were obtained in the system: PEG 4000 (20% w/w)/ K₂HPO₄ + KH₂PO₄ (25% w/w), with the pH level of 6,0, and the NaCl concentration of 0,85 M. The 15-fold increase of lysozyme activity was obtained when the optimal conditions of ATPS, as determined during the model experiments, were applied to the separation of lysozyme from egg white.
