Abstract
RAMIREZ, J. S.; SOLIS, C. A. and VELEZ, C. A.. Membrane technology: Obtaining Whey Protein. Entre Ciencia e Ingenieria [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.24, pp.52-59. ISSN 1909-8367. https://doi.org/10.31908/19098367.3815.
The whey proteins have acquired great importance due to their nutritional and technological functionality. In the present review, we studied the use of Ultrafiltration (UF) applied to the separation of proteins and peptides from whey. It was found that the UF is one of the best alternatives. However, to achieve better results it is necessary to: accompany other membrane technologies (microfiltration, nanofiltration, electrodialysis, diafiltration), select the type of UF membrane to be used, and adjust the conditions of transmembrane pressure, pH and temperature.
