PROTEIN-VERKAPSELTE TEILCHEN AUS EINER POLYSACCHARID-ENTHALTENDER DISPERSION

摘要

A process for encapsulating solid particles within a protein which comprises contacting a protein dispersion containing the solid particles with a polysaccharide in an aqueous medium at a pH above the isoelectric point of the protein to produce a mixture forming two phases, one of which is a concentrated heavier, lower phase comprising the solid particles encapsulated within the protein and the other of which is a diluted, lighter upper phase relatively rich in polysaccharide, and separating the concentrated, heavier lower phase to produce the solid particles encapsulated within the protein.
