Abstract
A protein-rich composition can be provided from egg albumen via a process that involves diafiltering with purified water an egg albumen concentrate. Collected retentate from the diafiltration step constitutes a protein-rich composition which, on a dry basis, can include less than 1% (w/w) lipids. The composition can be spray dried to a protein isolate solid which is substantially free of sugars.
Claims20
A method for providing a protein-enriched composition from egg albumen, the method comprising:
- a) providing an egg albumen concentrate by removing at least 25% (v/v) of water from the egg albumen;
- b) diafiltering the egg albumen concentrate;
- and
- c) providing a protein-enriched composition by collecting a retentate from step (b),
- wherein the egg albumen concentrate of steps (a) and (b) and the protein-enriched composition of step (c) are not pH-adjusted prior to subsequent processing.
