Describes a new process (Poly‐Protein) for obtaining leaf protein concentrates from alfalfa juice by means of polyelectrolytes. Working conditions and the chemical composition of the products are reported. In particular 50L of juice, obtained by pressing 100 kg of fresh alfalfa, gave 1.6 kg of dry green LPC. The product so obtained has a high protein content and is particularly valuable for its several prospective uses in the feed industry.
