Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for recovering proteins from lactoserum. This process comprises subjecting a lactoserum to a heat treatment to denature the proteins present in it and then separating the denatured proteins from the other non-fat constituents of the lactoserum by ultrafiltration. Alternatively, the ultrafiltered lactoserum, i.e. the retentate, is subjected to a complementary heat treatment for denaturing the proteins. The proteins thus recovered may be used in dietetic or infant nutrition and in cheese making.
