Protein Separation
20230049682 · 2023-02-16 ·

The invention provides a method of extracting protein from a protein source material such as egg white material. The method comprises contacting a crosslinked alginate-based carrier with the protein source material and allowing the protein to bind to the carrier, so as to form a protein-loaded carrier product. The method then comprises separating the protein-loaded carrier product from the remaining protein source material.
