Isoelectric precipitation of proteins using carbon dioxide as a volatile acid

Method of preparing protein agglomerates, protein agglomerates, and a food product and a pharmaceutical composition in which they are comprised

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of protein agglomerates, by introducing CO2 in an aqueous protein-containing solution. According to the invention CO2 is gradually and while mixing supplied yielding spherical protein agglomerates, after which the pressure is reduced with a rate such that the spherical nature of the protein...
