Summary Pilot‐plant production of peanut protein from solvent‐extracted meal was investigated with respect to the effect of temperature of extract liquor during precipitation and the rate of addition of sulfur dioxide on the settling rate of the precipitated protein. As the rate of addition of sulfur dioxide was increased, and the temperature of the extract liquor was decreased the density and the settling rate of the protein curd increased. Spray washing of the extracted meal was more efficient than the previously reported dilution method of washing and resulted in a greater yield of protein.
