Abstract:
Fractionation of the mixture of proteins found in milk and whey to form pure, individual dairy protein fractions might allow individuals with special nutritional needs to tailor their diet to improve health. Ion exchange process chromatography was examined for this purpose using selective elution to release separately the proteins bound from whey and produce several protein fractions. Alternatively, bound proteins were released all at once to make a whey protein isolate. Prototype beverages containing these proteins were examined for clarity before and after thermal processing. Beverages containing whey protein isolate were clear at pH 2-7 before heating, but only beverages at pH
