Abstract

Disclosed is a process which achieves effective separation of components from red blood cells by aggregating cell membranes with an addition of a pH lowering agent, whereupon the solution is made subject to a separation step where a water soluble fraction is separated from cell membranes, and whereupon the cell membranes are extracted, and where lipids may be selectively separated and recovered by lowering the temperature of the extract.
