PROTEIN COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR ISOLATING A PROTEIN COMPOSITION FROM A MUSCLE SOURCE

摘要

A process is provided for isolating a protein component of animal muscle tissue by mixing a particulate form of the tissue with an acidic aqueous liquid having a pH below about 3.5 to produce a protein rich solution substantially free of myofibrils and sarcomere tissue structure. The protein rich aqueous solution can be treated to effect protei n precipitation, followed by protein recovery.
