Abstract

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to systems for purifying proteins and carbohydrate rich products from photosynthetic aquatic species and compositions thereof. In some embodiments, a system for recovering a highly soluble protein product from a biomass comprising a microcrop (e.g.,) may comprise (a) a lysing unit to lyse a first portion of the biomass to form a first portion of lysed biomass, (b) a first separating unit to separate the first portion of lysed biomass to generate a first portion of a juice fraction and a first portion of a solid fraction, (c) a second separating unit to separate the first portion of the juice fraction to generate a first portion of a first juice and a first portion of a first cake, (d) a first filtration unit to filter the first portion of the first juice to generate a first portion of a soluble protein and a first reject stream, (e) a second filtration unit to filter the first portion of the soluble protein to generate a first portion of a second soluble protein and a second reject stream, (f) a dewatering unit to concentrate the first portion of the second soluble protein to generate a first portion of a concentrated soluble protein, and (g) a drying unit to dry the first portion of the concentrated soluble protein to generate a first portion of a dry protein concentrate.
