Abstract
A method of harvesting natural milk proteins by treating a fraction of the milk with a precipitant. The treatment separates the mixture into concentrated natural casein and a fraction that contains the precipitant. The object is to use less polysaccharide. An anionic polysaccharide solution is used as a precipitant. The mixture is separated in a centrifuge into a polysaccharide fraction and a milk fraction. The polysaccharide fraction is exploited to separate the milk fraction into concentrated casein and another polysaccharide fraction.
