Plant-Based Whey Protein and Methods for Producing Plant-Based Whey Protein from By-Products and Waste-Streams

摘要

Methods for preparation of plant-based whey protein concentrates are provided. Also provided are the plant-based whey protein concentrates made using the methods. The methods utilize an enzymatic reaction to reduce the molecular weight of soluble carbohydrates in a plant-based whey and a single nanofiltration/ultrafiltration and/or diafiltration step to separate soluble non-protein components from the proteins.
