REMOVED: Comparison of Ceramic, Polymeric and Stainless Steel Microfiltration Membranes for the Fractionation of Whey and Casein Proteins from Skim Milk

Investigation of whey protein concentration by ultrafiltration elements designed for water treatment

“…Extracting proteins from whey by membrane filtration has been investigated in previous studies using different types of membranes, such as ceramic microfilters combined with polyetersulfone UFM [8][9][10] and tangential flow filtration modules [11,12]. The fractionation of whey into lactose enriched and proteinenriched streams using UFM of regenerated cellulose materials has also been investigated [13].…”

“…By drying of WPC is obtained whey powder, which is an excellent additive in food products [25]. Also, whey protein can be disassociated to building components that are used for sophisticated applications [10]. UF permeate is practically used to obtain the crystalline lactose [26], or enzymatic digestion of lactose to monosaccharides gets a sweet solution to substitute the water and sucrose and is a great base for manufacturing the entire range of soft drinks rich in natural minerals derived from milk [27].…”
