Membranes can be used to recover whey proteins?
With this study it was possible to recover 80% whey proteins using membrane of 10 kDa. These proteins showed good protein solubility, emulsion stability, and most were identified as β-lactoglobulin (18.3kDa) and α-lactalbumin (14.2kDa). Therefore, the use of membranes is an alternative to recover whey proteins in the industrial process. … Read More →
