Abstract: Proteins are obtained from soy milk by concentrating the soy milk while increasing the dry matter content. A water-soluble organic solvent is added to the soy milk to form an organic-aqueous suspension in such a way that a shift in the solubility equilibrium occurs due to the addition of the organic solvent and a displacement extraction takes place. The volume of added organic solvent in step iii is selected such that the content of organic solvent of the organic-aqueous suspension is at least 15% by volume. The suspension is adjusted to a pH value of less than pH=7, forming at least one protein phase. The protein phase, with a residual oil content of less than 5 wt. %, based on the dry substance content of the protein phase, is separated from the suspension.

Abstract: A method for processing a flowable product using a centrifuge includes pretreating the flowable product so that particles in the flowable product are increasingly attracted by electrically charged components, feeding the flowable product into the disc stack, generating an electric charge on the discs of the disc stack, and separating the charged particles from the flowable product within the disc stack under the influence of electrostatic attractive forces and a centrifugal field.

Abstract: A method for acquiring at least one or a plurality of recyclable materials, in particular phytic acid, from a native material quantity containing phytic acid or phytate is provided. The method involves providing a native, reduced material quantity containing phytic acid and/or phytate made from seeds containing phytic acid. The reduced material quantity is pre-treated in order to obtain a flowable alkaline, preferably alcoholic-alkaline mash. A solid phase, which has phytic acid and/or at least one phytate, is separated from the mash. Phytic acid and/or at least one phytate is isolated from the solid phase.

Abstract: A method for obtaining proteins from native mixtures of materials is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes: A): providing a native mixture of materials from seeds having hard fragmentable hulls; B): comminuting the mixture of materials; C): dispersing the comminuted mixture of materials with water; D): adjusting a pH of the pulp of step C) to an alkaline range pH>9.5; E): adding a water-soluble organic solvent alcohol to the pulp; F): separating off a solids phase from the pulp, which has a predominant fraction of the hulls, to form a hull-free pulp; G): shifting the pH of the hull-free pulp from step F) to a pH range of pH=4.5 to pH=7.2; and H): separating the hull-free pulp of step G) into a plurality of phases, wherein one of the plurality of phases is a protein concentrate phase.
