Summary Batch studies on froth flotation as a means of protein extraction from a milled mussel matrix show that the technique is feasible. High efficiency of separation (>90%) of the mussel flesh and shell, along with high protein recoveries (>90%) are reported, using a combination of a frothing agent, Lissapol, and a flocculent, Difco. Heat pre‐treatment of the milled mussel matrix is shown to have little effect on the system.
