Abstract
Dairy industry generates contamination due to whey dumping from the manufacture of coagulated products. Ultrafiltration technology has been extensively studied in acid whey; however, research on sweet whey ─which is obtained from the production of fresh white cheese (Campesino cheese)─ is scarce. The objective of this study was to concentrate sweet whey proteins by ultrafiltration and to evaluate the process conditions. A polyethersulfone membrane with a molecular weight cut-off of 10 kDa was used. The effect of volumetric concentration factor between 5 and 18, transmembrane pressure between 2.5 and 5 bar was evaluated on the permeate flow, protein retention coefficient, and retention yield using a response surface methodology. The process optimization was carried out in that same range. Protein and fat were concentrated and underwent ultrafiltration; however, a less stable system was obtained. A higher concentration of protein can result in more collisions between molecules, thus generating flocculation. Whey protein concentrates had 18.2% of total solids out of which protein represents 45%.
期刊介绍:
La Revista Facultad Nacional de Agronomía Medellín (RFNA), de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín, Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, es una publicación científica editada desde el año 1939, en formato impreso y digital y de acceso abierto desde la web —sin costo para autores y lectores—. Está orientada a investigadores que crean conocimiento disciplinar y multidisciplinar que articula la ciencia y la tecnología para hacer más productivo el campo a nivel empresarial y de economía campesina. La Revista tiene como objetivo divulgar resultados de investigación mediante artículos originales, inéditos y arbitrados (peer review) de carácter científico que respondan a preguntas específicas y que proporcionen sustento y pruebas a una hipótesis, en aspectos relacionados con las Ciencias Agronómicas, Producción animal, Ciencias Forestales, Ingeniería Agrícola, de Alimentos y otras afines que contribuyan a la solución de los limitantes del agro a nivel nacional, regional e internacional. La Revista recibe y publica, sin ningún costo, artículos en idioma inglés de investigación, revisión, reseñas y cartas al editor. Desde el 2017 la periodicidad de publicación es cuatrimestral, se publican tres números al año con circulación nacional e internacional, en los siguientes períodos: Enero - Abril Mayo - Agosto Septiembre - Diciembre This journal does not charge APCs or submission charges.
