Abstract
The invention concerns a process for the treatment of a sweet whey material containing cGMP (caseinoGlycoMacroPeptide), said process comprising the following steps: —Decationising the sweet whey material so as to obtain sweet whey material having a pH value of 1 to 4.5; —Treating said sweet whey in a fluidized bed reactor comprising a specific volume of an anionic resin, at a temperature between 10 and 18° C., wherein said sweet whey contacts said resin for a sufficient amount of time so that the resin absorbs between 52% and 58% of the cGMP present in the sweet whey; and—Recovering a protein material. Advantageously, the protein material is suitable for hypoallergenic infant formulae.
