Abstract
Disclosed herein is a process for isolating phospholipids from milk by-products, such as acid whey, the process comprising: a) exposing milk by-products to filtration, thereby enriching for phospholipids; and b) solubilizing and removing whey proteins and caseins; thereby isolating phospholipids from the milk by-product. Also disclosed are products produced by this method.
