Item Aqueous two phase partitioning of fish proteins: partitioning studies and ATPS evaluation(Springer India sanjiv.goswami@springer.co.in, 2015) Nagaraja, V.H.; Iyyaswami, R.A suitable Aqueous Two Phase System (ATPS) has been identified for the partitioning of crude fish proteins from fish processing industrial effluent. A detailed study has been performed to analyze the influence of various parameters on protein partitioning such as molecular weight of PEG, effect of different salts (MgSO4, K2HPO4, Na3C6H5O7, Na2SO4, (NH4) 2PO4, K3C6H5O7) and their concentrations, pH, temperature, Tie Line Length (TLL), effluent loading and volume ratio. PEG 2000 - sodium sulphate ATPS was found to be a most favourable system among the selected ATPS for higher partition coefficient of proteins. The binodal curve and equilibrium characteristics of PEG 2000 - sodium sulphate were established and fitted to empirical equations. The equilibrium compositions (tie line) were correlated using Othmer–Tobias and Bancroft equations. © 2014, Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India).Item Aqueous two phase based selective extraction of mannose/glucose specific lectin from Indian cultivar of Pisum sativum seed(Elsevier B.V., 2019) Rashmi, B.S.; Iyyaswami, R.Pisum sativum lectin (Psl) being a high-value protein has marked its application in the biomedical and therapeutic field. Aqueous two phase extraction (ATPE) was implemented as a selective partitioning technique for the partial purification of Psl from its seeds. PEG/citrate based biodegradable aqueous two phase system (ATPS) was screened and the factors such as the type and concentration of citrate salts, molar mass and concentration of polyethylene glycol (PEG), tie line length (TLL) and additive (NaCl) concentration, pH, crude load and volume ratio were studied for the selective partition of Psl. The Psl was successfully extracted to the top phase in the ATPS formed with 18% PEG 6000/16% sodium citrate at 41.01% TLL, 2% NaCl and pH of 7.5. A volume ratio of 0.76 and a crude load of 20% showed maximum activity yield of 122.12% with the purification factor of 16.26. The subunits of Psl namely ? and ? were identified with a molecular weight of 6 and 18 kDa respectively during the purity analysis using SDS PAGE and HPLC. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.Item Selective extraction of lactoferrin from acidic whey using CTAB/n-heptanol reverse micellar system(Springer, 2019) Pawar, S.S.; Iyyaswami, R.; Belur, P.D.A reverse micellar system comprising CTAB/nheptanol, developed for extracting lactoferrin (LF) from a synthetic solution of LF, was investigated for the selective extraction of LF from synthetic whey protein solution, which was prepared by mixing the pure whey proteins. The process conditions obtained during the process was further extended to extract the LF from real acidic whey. The selective extraction of LF was improved by studying the effect of NaCl concentration (additive) and aqueous phase pH on the partitioning of LF into the micellar phase. The highest extraction of LF (98.7%) from acidic whey to micellar phase was achieved at the aqueous phase pH of 10.3 and NaCl concentration of 1.1 M. The LF was back extracted to the aqueous stripping phase with 94% extraction efficiency and 100% purity. The recycling capacity of the organic phase after the back extraction of LF was analyzed to make the process more economical. © Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India) 2019.Item Evaluation of Protein-polysaccharide complexes for microencapsulation of anthocyanins from Garcinia indica(Springer, 2025) Chandrakant Shanbhag, C.; N.g, K.; Iyyaswami, R.; D Belur, P.Microencapsulation of Anthocyanins (ACNs) extracted from dried rinds of Garcinia indica (GI) was performed using different polysaccharides (carboxy methyl cellulose, xanthan gum, inulin, chitosan, and gum arabic) in combination with two different proteins (whey protein isolate and sodium caseinate). The whey protein isolate (WPI)-xanthan gum (XG) complex was found to most efficiently encapsulate ACNs; Encapsulation Efficiency (EE) of 94.33% ±1.07 was achieved at 1% (w/v) of WPI, 1.50% (w/v) XG, 0.02 mg/mL ACNs, and pH 3. A comparative study on EE of ACNs from different sources, including standard ACN, GI crude ACNs, and Three-Liquid-Phase Extraction System (TLPES) purified ACNs, before (in the solution) and after freeze-drying (powder), indicated that the encapsulation is stable even after the freeze-drying of the WPI-ACNs-XG microencapsulates. Physicochemical characterization of freeze-dried ACNs microencapsulates done using antioxidant activity assay, particle size analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermo gravimetric analysis supported the higher compatibility of the WPI-XG complex to encapsulate ACNs. ACNs obtained from TLPES purification were the most suitable for encapsulation as compared to standard ACN and GI crude ACNs due to their higher antioxidant potential (71.10% ± 1.32) and smooth particle surface morphology that shield the ACNs from adverse surroundings. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2025.
