The condition of chymotrypsin (ChTRP)–Eudragit® (Eu) insoluble complex formation was studied with the aim of applying this information to the separation of chymotrypsin from a crude filtrate of bovine pancreas homogenate. The optimal pH of the complex precipitation was 4.60 for ChTRP–Eudragit® L100 and 5.40 for ChTRP–Eudragit® S100. The polyelectrolyte concentration necessary for the commercial enzyme precipitation was lower than 0.1% (w/v). The complex formation was inhibited by NaCl for both polyelectrolytes. The method was applied to recover the enzyme from bovine homogenate; ChTRP was precipitated by Eudragit® addition. The non-soluble complexes were separated by simple centrifugation and re-dissolved by a pH change to 8.20. The best conditions to recover ChTRP brought about a purification factor of around 4 and 90% yield.
