Extraction and utilization of egg white lysozyme

Abstract

In the era of advanced molecular technologies a great importance have the utilization of functional qualities of food ingredients. Lysozyme is one of the protein fractions of egg white that possess enzymatic and antibacterial qualities well pronounced. Lysozyme preparation, obtained experimentally was tested by turbidimetric method for estimating the antimicrobial qualities. Also, were studied physico-chemical and spectral characteristics of lysozyme preparation, emphasized the possibilities for their use in food preparation.
