Abstract
A process is provided for obtaining proteins from native substance mixtures, wherein a native substance mixture is first finely disintegrated and optionally processed to form a flowable slurry (I) by adding liquid. The process includes the following steps: (i) setting the pH value of the slurry (I) in an alkaline range; (ii) adding at least one water-soluble organic solvent after setting the pH value of the slurry according to step (i); and (iii) separating a protein phase (VI) from the slurry after step (ii)

1-19. (canceled)
A process for recovering proteins from natural product mixtures, in which a natural product mixture is firstly finely comminuted and optionally processed by addition of a liquid to form a flowable slurry, the process comprising the steps of:
- (i) setting of a pH of the slurry in the alkaline range;
- (ii) adding at least one water-soluble organic solvent after setting the pH of the slurry;
- and
- (iii) separating a protein phase from the slurry after adding the water-soluble solvent.
The process as claimed in 20, wherein a solid phase is separated off from the slurry before the protein phase is separated off.
