  1. Hydrophobic property is determined using nonpolar solvent; presence of disulfide bridge is determined using β-mercaptoethanol​/ dithiothreitol (DTT)
  2. BLIS bacteriocin-like inhibitory substance, MW molecular mass, Te temperature, Ti time, IEP isoelectric point
  3. aRange stability at that particular condition
