Claims
- 1. A method of preparing liquid animal plasma or serum into two products comprising mixing liquid animal plasma or serum with sodium hexametaphosphate at less than 1% solids against liquid animal plasma or serum weight, adjusting pH to a range 3.5 to 4.9 with preferred range from 4.1 to 4.5, and then setting the mixture to separate the liquid and precipitate products.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the liquid product is processed by ultrafiltration or evaporation process to increase the solids level before a drying process.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the liquid product is further processed.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the liquid product is used as a health or nutritional ingredient.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein whey protein or egg protein is mixed and processed with the liquid product or plasma.
- 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the precipitate product is used as a protein, binding or gelling ingredient.
- 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the products are in wet or dry form.
- 8. A method of preparing liquid animal plasma or serum into two products comprising mixing liquid animal plasma or serum with sodium hexametaphosphate at less than 1% solids against liquid plasma or serum weight, adjusting pH to a range 3.5 to 4.9 with preferred range from 4.1 to 4.5, and then centrifuging the mixture to separate the liquid and precipitate products.
- 9. The method of claim 8 wherein the liquid product is processed by ultrafiltration or evaporation process to increase the solids level before a drying process.
- 10. The method of claim 8 wherein the liquid product is further processed.
- 11. The method of claim 8 wherein the liquid product is used as a health or nutritional ingredient.
- 12. The method of claim 8 wherein whey protein or egg protein is processed with the liquid or plasma together.
- 13. The method of claim 8 wherein the precipitate product is used as a protein, binding or gelling ingredient.
- 14. The method of claim 8 wherein the products are in wet or dry form.
- 15. A method of changing liquid animal plasma or serum from a light reddish color into a creamy color comprising mixing liquid animal plasma or serum with sodium hexametaphosphate at less than 2% solids against liquid plasma or serum weight, adjusting pH to a range 2.5 to 4.9 with prefer range from 3.8 to 4.5, and then forming the liquid product with the creamy color.
- 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the plasma or serum is concentrated to increase the solids level.
- 17. The method of claim 15 wherein whey protein, egg protein, hydrogen peroxide, or oil used in the process.
- 18. The method of claim 15 wherein a homogenizer is used to form uniform liquid before a spray drying process.
- 19. The method of claim 15 wherein the product is in wet or dry form.
