INTERACTION OF CHITOSAN WITH WHEY PROTEINS

Abstract
Investigation is focused on the ability of chitosan to bind β-lactoglobulin and optimization of technological parameters of selective extraction of whey proteins. The character and intensity of chitosan-protein interaction are determined by molecular weight and concentration of chitosan, pH and ionic strength of solution. The obtained experimental results show that chitosan can be effectively used for isolation of β-lactoglobulin from whey protein concentrate.
Keywords
Whey proteins, β-lactoglobulin, chitosan
