Exploring the use of ultrafiltration-diafiltration for the concentration and purification of mealworm proteins
This work aimed to study the performance of the UF-DF process, in terms of the permeation flux and membrane resistance, to produce a mealworm protein isolate.Moreover, a detailed characterization of the UF-DF retentates and permeates was performed.The results showed that the UF performances was reduced during the concentration phase, with a total f
