*P-values were obtained from the t-test by comparing AE, CP, SA, PF and RY of the two methods, respectively
AE: enzyme activity
CP: protein content
SA: specific activity (AE / CP)
KP: partition coefficient (CP of top phase / CP of bottom phase)
PF: purification factor (SA of purified enzyme / SA of crude enzyme)
RY: recovery yield (AE of purified enzyme / AE of crude enzyme)
