Process of obtaining a protein preparation

Abstract

A process of obtaining a protein preparation from biological tissues selected from the group comprising seeds eg. legume seeds, algae eg. macro or microalgae, bacteria eg. cyanobacteria, animal products, said process comprises the steps of: lysing said biological tissues to extract protein; and submitting at least a portion of said extracted material to an activated charcoal; whereby a portion is removed by or adsorbed onto said activated charcoal; and/or submitting a portion of extracted material to a solution containing EDTA eg. of 10 to 40 mM; and/or submitting a portion of extracted material to a solution containing NaCl eg. of 5 to 15% (w/v); and/or submitting a portion of extracted material to a bentonite concentration; and/or submitting a portion of extracted material to a solution containing phytate eg. of 7.5 to 30 mM; and/or submitting a portion of extracted material to a phosphate eg. of 25 to 100 mM; whereby one or more of the following proteins are isolated: legume seed proteins, RuBisCO, soluble protein from leafy vegetables either edible or non-edible, macro or micro algae protein, cyanobacteria protein, animal products protein.
