Partitioning of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin in whey protein concentrate/hydroxypropylmethylcellulose aqueous two-phase systems

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) was fractionated by using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) at pH 6.5. Incompatible mixtures with different proportions of HPMC and WPC were prepared. After phase separation, the protein concentration in both phases was determined by the Kjeldahl method and the propo...
