PAA-Na and S-PAA-Na can swell in water and collapse suddenly at a given pH
with the water released. By using them as extractants
a new process for protein concentration has been developed. The properties of acid-sensitive gel
the influences of ions
solute concentration and gel size on the performance of gel-extraction were studied experi-mentally.Optimization of the acid-sensitive gel-extraction process with complex method has been developed on the basis of regression oi experimental data.
