Abstract

A Coffea canephora-D-galactosidase isozyme is purified by extracting a supernatant from Coffea beans containing the isozyme, extracting tannin from the supernatant, and isolating the isozyme. Preferrably, the supernatant is extracted by exposing the supernatant to insoluble polyvinylpolypyrrolidone in an amount sufficient to remove the tannin from the supernatant by forming hydrogen bonds with the tannin.
