  • Patent number: 6900290
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fractionating ?-lactalbumin from ?-lactoglobulin in whey or whey protein concentrate. The method includes the steps of contacting whey or whey protein concentrate with a complexing agent so that the complexing agent forms insoluble complexes with ?-lactoglobulin present in the whey or whey protein concentrate. The insoluble complexes are then separated from the whey or whey protein concentrate, thus yielding a precipitate that is predominately ?-lactoglobulin and is substantially devoid of ?-lactalbumin, and a supernatant that predominately ?-lactalbumin and is substantially devoid of ?-lactoglobulin.
