Abstract
The invention relates to a process of producing MAP-products from mussel feet. The process is characterised by extracting the mussel feet in a weakly acid aqueous solution containing, for instance, 1-10 percent by weight of a weak acid and 0.5-3 percent by weight of perchloric acid, whereafter the proteins in the aqueous solution are precipitated by adding inorganic or organic salts and separated from the system, subsequent to having extracted the solid substances.
