A method for separating 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid (HMTBA) from a 2-hydroxy-4-methylthioburyronitrile (HMTBN) acid hydrolysate mixture, comprising the following steps: neutralizating the mixture with aqueous ammonia; settling the neutralized mixture; separating the organic phase comprising HMTBA, water and salts and the aqueous phase comprising HMTBA, water and salts; releasing the salts from the organic phase with an amount of an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ketones, aldehydes, ethers, esters, carbonates and alcohols ; and/or exhaustively extracting the HMTBA from the aqueous phase with an amount of an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ketones, aldehydes, ethers, esters, carbonates and alcohols.
