# Plant protein purification perfected - A*STAR Research

> A*STAR researchers developed a method to remove gossypol, a toxic compound, from cottonseed meal, producing a pure protein product that meets food safety standards. The process uses alkaline solubilisation and acidic precipitation. The work targets human food uses rather than livestock feed.
