Purification of papain from Carica papaya latex: Aqueous two-phase extraction versus two-step salt precipitation

Purification of papain from wet Carica papaya latex by extraction in aqueous two-phase system was studied and compared with the traditional procedure involving a two-step salt precipitation. The papain obtained by the latter method was usually contaminated with other proteins, and its purity was dep...
