The technical feasibility of the recovery of whey protein from water buffalo whey via spiralwound microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes was assessed in the pilot-plant scale. The process tested consisted of preliminary whey centrifugation to remove fat and minimise membrane reversible fouling. By combining a UF step with two subsequent diafiltration cycles, it was possible to obtain buffalo whey protein concentrates with a total protein content of 67.5% (w/w).

Abstract

The technical feasibility of the recovery of whey protein from water buffalo whey via spiralwound microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes was assessed in the pilot-plant scale. The process tested consisted of preliminary whey centrifugation to remove fat and minimise membrane reversible fouling. By combining a UF step with two subsequent diafiltration cycles, it was possible to obtain buffalo whey protein concentrates with a total protein content of 67.5% (w/w).
