Reverse micellar extraction of bovine serum albumin - A comparison between the effects of gemini surfactant and its corresponding monomeric surfactant

► Less gemini surfactant than monomeric surfactant is needed for transferring BSA into organic phase from aqueous phase. ► Loading capacity of gemini surfactant reverse micelles is much higher. ► BSA can be extracted from gemini surfactant reverse micelles from pH 4 to 9.
