Production of Protein Concentrates from Macauba ( and ) Kernels by Sieve Fractionation.

Macauba palm fruits ( and ) are emerging as sources of high-quality oils from their pulp and kernels. The protein-rich macauba kernel meal (MKM) left after oil extraction remains undervalued, mainly due to the lack of suitable deoiling parameters and integrated protein recovery methods. Therefore, the present study aimed to produce protein concentrates from MKM using sieve fractionation.
