A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A PROTEIN ENRICHED PRODUCT FROM A PROTEIN CONTAINING MATERIAL HAVING A WATER CONTENT OF AT LEAST 20% CONSISTING IN REDUCING THE WATER CONTENT OF THE PROTEIN CONTAINING MATERIAL TO BELOW 60% THEREAFTER INTRODUCING THE PROTEIN CONTAINING MATERIAL INTO A FLOW OF AN ORGANIC SOLVENT MISCIBLE WITH WATER AND HAVING A BOILING POINT BELOW THAT OF WATER MOVING IN COUNTER DIRECTION TO SAID MATERIAL, AGITATING SAID MATERIAL IN PROGRESSIVE STAGES WHILE IN CONTACT WITH SAID SOLVENT, MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SOLVENT AND MATERIAL WHILE TOGETHER DURING THE PROCESS AT A TEMPERATURE LOWER THAN THE BOILING POINT OF THE SOLVENT AND HIGHER THAN THE MELTING POINT OF THE FAT IN THE MATERIAL AND MAINTAINING A SUFFICIENT VOLUME OF SOLVENT IN CONTACT WITH THE MATERIAL TO COMPLETELY DISSOLVE THE WATER AND FAT IN SAID MATERIAL WITH THE LIQUOR CONTAINING THE SOLVENT AND MATERIAL SEPARATING INTO TWO PHASES, ONE CONTAINING SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE FAT AND THE OTHER CONTAINING SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE WATER.
