The present invention relates to a new method of producing edible alpha-lactalbumin-enriched protein compositions based on removal of beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) from a whey protein containing feed by selective crystallisation of non-aggregated BLG. The invention furthermore relates to new edible alpha-lactalbumin-enriched protein compositions, uses of these compositions and food products comprising these compositions. La présente invention concerne un nouveau procédé de production de compositions de protéines enrichies en alpha-lactalbumine comestibles basé sur l'élimination de la bêta-lactoglobuline (BLG) présente dans un aliment contenant des protéines de lactosérum par cristallisation sélective de BLG non agrégée. L'invention concerne en outre de nouvelles compositions comestibles de protéines enrichies en alpha-lactoglobuline, des utilisations de ces compositions et des produits alimentaires comprenant ces compositions.
