Abstract
Disclosed herein is a novel process for the extraction of protein compounds from fresh, non-woody vegetation or plant material such as algae, nuts, leaves and yeasts, wherein the plant material is moisturized, comminuted, and expressed to obtain a plant juice which is then acidulated to precipitate a protein complex. The complex is then de-watered and contacted with non-polar and polar organic solvents.
