The invention provides a method for separating
protein from yellow
slurry of bean curd by using a flocculating agent, comprising the following steps:
chitosan and one or more than two of the following mixtures (is) are added into the yellow
slurry of bean curd as compound flocculating agent: polymerized
aluminium trichloride, polymerized
iron sulfate and
sodium alginate; the total volume of the flocculating agent is 0.1-3mg / mL; the flocculating agent is first stirred and dispersed, then stirred and mixed mechanically for 5-10 min at 20 DEG C, placed still for 10-24h at the temperature between 0-4 DEG C, centrifugated and precipitated, finally, the
protein is gained. In the invention, the combination of the
chitosan and other flocculating agents is used as the compound flocculating agent, especially the natural giant molecule amphiprotic flocculating agent-
chitosan composition is used, and compared with the traditional synthesized high molecule flocculating agent, the chitosan composition is more environmental friendly, the
protein recycling rate is high, bigger molecule
copolymer can be formed, the flocculating effect is good, the using amount is small, the cost is low, and the recycled protein product has good quality; in addition, the flocculating agent can be used in
acid protein drinks or used as protein
extender in the industries of baking, meet product, etc.
