Claims
- 1. A process for producing proteinic filaments of high nutritive value, which comprises preparing an alkaline solution having a pH value above 11 and containing a mixture of proteins consisting essentially of (1) proteins of vegetable origin and (2) proteins of whey, wherein the proteins of whey are present in amounts up to 50% by weight, and passing the solution through spinnerets into an acid coagulation bath, having a pH value below 4, to form proteinic filaments therein.
- 2. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the proteins of whey are present in amounts from 20 to 40% by weight.
- 3. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the whey proteins are proteins obtained by coagulation of whey.
- 4. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the whey proteins are proteins obtained from whey by ultrafiltration or gel filtration of the whey.
- 5. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vegetable proteins are soya proteins.
- 6. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the alkaline solution has a protein concentration of from 5 to 20% by weight.
- 7. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the alkaline solution is a solution containing sodium or potassium hydroxide.
- 8. A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the acid coagulation bath is a bath containing hydrochloric acid or acetic acid and at least one acid coagulation bath salt.
