Phase separation occurs at certain specific concentrations that have similar densities and low interfacial tensions. The present study involves synthesis and application of a novel derivatized guar in aqueous two-phase system. The derivation of guar gum was performed by grafting of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone by a redox reaction in aqueous medium ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) and potassium Peroxydisulfate(K2S2O8). The ratio of grafting efficiency (%GE) and ratio of grafting (%G) was 56% and 70.1% respectively. The grafted copolymers were characterized for percent yield and FTIR absorbance. A new aqueous two-phase extraction protocol was established using a mixture of derivatized guar and dextran. A phase diagram was constructed based on the phase separation exhibited by the system at 25 degrees C. The partition coefficient was determined for standard bovine serum albumin (BSA), lactate oxidase (LO) and phytase. The partitioning coefficients were 0.479, 1.981, and 2.586 respectively in the Dextran (2 mill ion)/V-GG/H2O system. The influence of an ionic salt sodium chloride (NaCl) was investigated on the partitioning of BSA. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
