Table 1.
Purity of IgY after different procedure of purification.
| Purification step | Total protein (mg/egg) | IgY (mg/egg) | Purity (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water soluble solution (WSF) | 595 ± 37a | 190 ± 26a | 32 ± 6 |
| Ultrafiltration | 231 ± 25a | 151 ± 21a | 65 ± 5 |
The value was derived from the concentration of the water soluble fraction (WSF), based on an average WSF of 150 ml per egg from all chicken eggs between 3 and 18 weeks, was mean as average ± SD.
