This invention relates to the field of yak milk
processing technology, and discloses a device and method for separating active substances from yak milk, comprising: a first separation unit, a first
processing unit, a pH adjustment unit, a second separation unit, and a third separation unit connected in sequence; the first separation unit is used for
centrifugation of yak milk to obtain skimmed yak milk; the first
processing unit is used for defoaming the skimmed yak milk; the second separation unit is used for
centrifugation of the pH-adjusted skimmed yak milk to obtain supernatant and
casein; the third separation unit is used for
chromatographic separation of the supernatant to obtain
lactoferrin and immunoglobulins. The defoaming treatment of the skimmed yak milk in the first processing unit effectively eliminates air bubbles in the
skimmed milk, preventing air bubbles from occupying space and hindering the full contact between the acid solution and the skimmed yak milk, preventing local pH unevenness, improving the
mixing effect of the skimmed yak milk and acid solution, increasing the
casein yield, and ensuring the subsequent separation effect.
