  • PROTEIN RECOVERY FROM PROTEINACEOUS MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20240306667
    Abstract: Provided is a method of protein recovery from a plant by-product. The method comprises isoelectric solubilisation of the plant by-product with an alkali solution to provide a first solubilised protein fraction, separating the first solubilised protein fraction from unsolubilised plant matter; and flocculating the first solubilised protein fraction with an amount of a flocculating agent to provide a protein product.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 9, 2022
    Publication date: September 19, 2024
    Applicant: TEAGASC - THE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
    Inventors: Carlos ALVAREZ GARCIA, Brijesh TIWARI, Dilip RAI, Ahmed KABIR, Shay HANNON
  • Isoelectric solubilisation of animal matter
    Patent number: 11324232
    Abstract: A method of sequential isoelectric solubilisation of animal by-product comprising the steps of isoelectric solubilisation of the animal by-product in one of an acid or alkali solution to provide a first solubilised protein fraction, separating the first solubilised protein fraction from unsolubilised animal by-product, isoelectric solubilisation of the unsolubilised animal by-product to provide a second solubilised protein fraction, and separation of the second solubilised protein fraction from unsolubilised animal by-product. The protein from the first and/or second solubilised protein fractions is recovered by drying or precipitation. In one embodiment, the acid and alkali soluble protein fractions are proportionally combined to neutralise the composite fraction and precipitate protein.
