During protein extraction, different parameters have an impact on the final protein yield. To optimize those, working at a small scale is much more ecologic as it saves a lot of material, and is much less energy consuming compared to a larger industrial scale process. However, the upscaling process is not necessarily straight forward and demands time consuming adjustments. This picture represents the different steps of protein extraction that have to be adapted from small to large scale. It goes from the raw material to the coagulated protein passing through soaking, grinding and physical separation.
