“…For this reason, the amino acids solubility in conventional organic solvents is lower, their physical extraction being practically impossible. The liquid-liquid extraction of amino acids becomes possible only by adding extractants into the organic phase, namely derivatives of phosphoric acid (Kelly et al, 1998;Liu et al, 1999;Cacaval et al, 2001;Juong & Wang, 2002;, high molecular weight amines (Rehm & Reed, 1993;Schugerl, 1994;Tan et al, 2007) or some types of crown-ethers (Deblay et al, 1990). The pertraction could be also used for amino acids separation, the proper carrier being chosen from the above listed extractants (organophosphoric acid, high molecular weight amines or crown-ethers).…”
