A protein product recovered from a fermentation process including a protein content of 45.0% or more calculated by weight of dry matter, a glycerol content of 1.0% or less calculated by weight of dry matter, and a mineral nutrient content of 6.0% or less calculated by weight of dry matter. A method for recovering a protein product by heating fermentation stillage to 200 degrees F - 350 degrees F, altering the physicochemical properties of the stillage to enable facile separation of the stillage, and separating a phase enriched in protein. Protein products, protein paste, high protein meal, and proteinaceous agglomerates recovered and formed. |
