Abstract
A process for recovering .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester from a solution containing various methyl ester or demethylated derivatives of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and chloride ions is disclosed. This process uses a reverse osmosis membrane having a specific chloride inhibition rate to desalt and concentrate a solution containing a specified ratio of .delta.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester to its derivatives until a specific weight ratio of organic chloride ion to the sum of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and its derivatives is obtained. This desalted and concentrated solution is then contacted with an aqueous solvent containing methanol and hydrochloride acid to recover high yields of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride.
