Abstract
The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to methods and systems for purifying proteins and carbohydrate rich products from photosynthetic aquatic species and compositions thereof. For example, one embodiment of the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for purifying proteins the present disclosure relates, in some embodiments to methods and systems for extracting proteins, dry biocrude, and carbohydrate-rich meal from Lemna. In some embodiments, a method of treating a biomass comprising a microcrop (e.g., Lemna) to produce a product comprising soluble microcrop protein may comprise: (a) lysing a first portion of the biomass to form a first portion of lysed biomass; (b) separating the first portion of lysed biomass to generate a first portion of a juice fraction and a first portion of a solid fraction; (c) separating the first portion of the juice fraction to generate a first portion of a first juice and a first portion of a first cake, wherein the first juice comprises a soluble microcrop protein; and/or (d) filtering the first portion of the first juice to generate a first portion of the product comprising soluble microcrop protein and a reject stream.
