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

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. A protein rich aqueous solution is separated from solids and lipids, including membrane lipids. The pro tein rich aqueous solution can be treated to effect protein precipitation, followed b y protein recovery.
