Ultrafiltration of water buffalo whey: peformance and modeling of a tubular ceramic module

Produzione di concentrati proteici da siero di latte bufalino/Water buffalo whey protein concentrate production

The technical feasibility of the recovery of whey protein from water buffalo whey via spiralwound microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes was assessed in the pilot-plant scale. The process tested consisted of preliminary whey centrifugation to remove fat and minimise membrane reversible fouling. By combining a UF step with two subsequent diafiltration cycles, it was possible to obtain buffalo whey protein concentrates with a total protein content of 67.5% (w/w).
