The invention discloses a method for enriching
whey protein main monomers from
cow milk. According to the method,
whey protein subjected to membrane separation is taken as a
raw material, interaction between main monomers of the
whey protein and other milk proteins is weakened by adopting a pH conversion technology and an
ultrasonic technology, mineral substances,
lactose,
bovine serum albumin and residual
casein are removed through
ion exchange
chromatography, the main monomers of the whey
protein are enriched, and the high-purity whey
protein is obtained. And
drying the alpha-
lactalbumin and the beta-lactoglobulin to obtain a
milk protein product rich in two main monomers of the whey
protein, and the total content of the two monomers is up to 85% or above. According to the technology,
cow milk serves as a
raw material, efficient enrichment of two main monomers of whey protein can be achieved only through membrane separation, pH conversion, ultrasonic assistance and
ion exchange
chromatography, only pH needs to be adjusted in the
separation process, other chemical reagents are not added, and the process is
environmentally friendly, simple, easy to implement and suitable for large-scale
processing; the prepared
milk protein base material rich in the whey protein main
monomer can be used as a main material and a base material of infant food, and is high in nutritional value and wide in application prospect.
