Membrane separation technology enables room‑temperature concentration and desalination for whey protein liquid. After ultrafiltration treatment, feed solution is separated into milky‑white protein‑rich retentate (concentrate) and clear permeate (filtrate). Compared with conventional thermal evaporation, this process avoids protein denaturation, reduces energy consumption and wastewater output. It is also suitable for soybean peptide and other plant protein purification. Pilot lab testing is offered to confirm processing performance for industrial scale‑up.
