Abstract
A soluble polycationic agent (Disperfloc C-500) was used for whey clar ification. Turbidity was decreased by more than 90% with the addition of only 0.8 g/l of the agent, at pHs ranging from 7.3 and 7.6 and with a temperature step of 5 min at 50 degrees C. The calcium and phosphat e content of whey was decreased by more than 50% while 98% of the tota l protein content still remained soluble.
