Summary
Several low-cost maltodextrins form two liquid phases with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in aqueous solution. We have measured physical properties for three PEG-maltodextrin two-phase systems and demonstrated their bioseparation capabilities by extracting alcohol dehydrogenase from yeast extracts with a PEG bound textile dye.
