Abstract: The present invention includes a process for producing a protein product from plants and yeasts. The process comprises the steps of: a) providing a thin stillage or a thin stillage concentrate; b) separating a protein concentrate from the provided thin stillage from a) by means of solid-liquid separation; c) diluting the protein concentrate from b) with an aqueous process liquid to a dry substance content of at most 15 wt. %, tempering the diluted protein concentrate to a temperature of at least 60° C.

Abstract: A process for producing a protein product from plants and yeasts comprises providing a thin stillage or a thin stillage concentrate; separating a protein concentrate from the thin stillage; diluting the protein concentrate to a dry substance content of at most 15 wt.%, tempering the diluted protein concentrate to at least 60° C., and adjusting the pH of the diluted and tempered protein concentrate to alkaline; cooling the processed protein concentrate and subsequently separating a liquid phase; adjusting the pH of the separated liquid phase to an acidic pH, and then separating a solid phase; and dispersing the solid phase in a solvent and subsequently separating a product phase, wherein the product phase comprises the protein product from plants and yeasts.

Abstract: 1) A method for obtaining a concentrated protein-rich phase from residues of bioethanol production. 2.1) Previously, the separation of a protein-rich phase from whole stillage from bioethanol production has been achieved either by the addition of chemicals or by process steps that are complex in terms of equipment and/or energy. 2.2) Whole stillage from bioethanol production is fed to a solid-liquid separation, and the liquid phase (thin stillage) resulting from this is partially returned to the mashing process. This recirculation increases the raw protein content in the process. Part of the thin stillage is diluted and fed to a simple separation process without the addition of chemicals and temperature treatment, with a protein-rich phase being obtained. 2.3) A protein-rich phase is obtained from residues of bioethanol production.
