J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2024; 1234:124027. [PMID: 38320436 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2024.124027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the purification of bromelain obtained from pineapple fruit using a new adsorbent for immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), with chlorophyll obtained from plant leaves as a chelating agent. The purification of bromelain was evaluated in batches from the crude extract of pineapple pulp (EXT), and the extract precipitated with 50 % ammonium sulfate (EXT.PR), the imidazole buffer (200 mM, pH 7.2) being analyzed and sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.0 + 1.0 NaCl as elution solutions. All methods tested could separate forms of bromelain with molecular weights between ±21 to 25 kDa. Although the technique using EXT.PR stood out in terms of purity, presenting a purification factor of around 3.09 ± 0.31 for elution with imidazole and 4.23 ± 0.12 for acetate buffer solution. In contrast, the EXT methods obtained values between 2.44 ± 0.23 and 3.21 ± 0.74 for elution with imidazole and acetate buffer, respectively, for purification from EXT.PR has lower yield values (around 5 %) than EXT (around 15 %). The number of steps tends to reduce yield and increase process costs, so the purification process in a monolithic bed coupled to the chromatographic system using the crude extract was evaluated. The final product obtained had a purification factor of 6, with a specific enzymatic activity of 59.61 ± 0.00 U·mg-1 and a yield of around 39 %, with only one band observed in the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis, indicating that the matrix produced can separate specific proteins from the total fraction in the raw material. The IMAC matrix immobilized with chlorophyll proved promising and viable for application in protease purification processes.

Abstract
Quantification of neomycin residues in food samples demands an efficient purification platform. Herein, hierarchical macroporous agarose monoliths with multiple boronate affinity sites were established for selective separation of neomycin. The silica core was synthesized by "one-step" Stöber procedures followed by modification with amino group and incorporation of polyethyleneimine. A versatile macroporous agarose monolith was prepared by emulsification strategies and functionalized with epoxy groups. After introducing polyethyleneimine-integrated silica nanoparticles onto the agarose monolith, fluorophenylboronic acids were immobilized. The physical and chemical characteristics of the composite monolith were analyzed systematically. After optimization, neomycin showed high binding ability of 23.69 mg/g, and the binding capacity can be manipulated by changing the pH and adding monosaccharides. The composite monolith was subsequently utilized to purify neomycin from the spiked model aquatic products followed by high-performance liquid chromatography analysis, which revealed a remarkable neomycin purification effect, indicating the great potential in the separation of neomycin from complicated aquatic products.
