In the process of proteins separation, it is important to reduce the consumption of salts, acids and bases for cleaner environment. To reduce the huge waste stream of salts, a high pressure carbon dioxide has been applied to precipitate two types of food proteins: soy protein and milk protein casein. The method is suitable for effective precipitation of both proteins and prevents local pH overshoot, which usually occurs in case of using mineral acids for the precipitation processes. It was possible to achieve 68.3 wt% of soy protein precipitate using 30 bars of pressurized carbon dioxide, at...
