The protein chiefly responsible for such problems, beta-lactoglobulin, can now be removed cheaply in Woychik's continuous, 16-hour process, which uses a synthetic molecular membrane to filter proteins. This process also concentrates beta-casein, a beneficial protein found in both cow's milk and human milk, thus producing an excellent protein base for infants.
