DE2548641C3 - Process for the production of high protein feed from raw materials containing starch - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a method for the production of high protein feed from starch and protein-containing raw materials.

Protein-containing animal feed is now in short supply worldwide.

Many attempts and methods are available to convert such proteins in the form of yeasts on different To produce raw materials such as paraffins, methanol, ethanol etc.

All of these processes have the disadvantage that they are still too expensive today, and that such yeasts and Bacterial proteins are not - or not yet - approved for use as animal feed.

The other raw products such as sugar, molasses, glucose etc. are too expensive as raw materials, although they are included the yeast fermentation results in products which are known and as feed resp. Food approved are.

It has now been found that raw products such as wheat. Barley, rye, potatoes, which are rich in Carbohydrates are and at the same time contain 5 to 15% native protein substance, in a simple and cheap way can be transformed into yeasts, while at the same time preserving the native protein substance, which the End product gives a very high protein value.

The object of the invention is to provide a method for inexpensive manufacture Protein-containing feed made from starch and protein-containing raw materials.

The solution to this problem is characterized in claim]. Advantageous refinements result from the subclaims.

The grinding takes place dry, i. a. but preferably riaß made, with a separation the exposed fibers in the raw material can take place before or after hydrolysis. The hydrolysis takes place either with an acid or amylase, or with a mixture of both.

ίο

The concentration of the raw fermentation mixture can be adjusted either by direct evaporation, resp. Drying takes place or by separation by means of ultrafiltration to prevent water evaporation to save.

The invention is explained in more detail with advantageous details using two examples using a drawing, in which the F i g. 1 and 2 each show a flow diagram of a plant for carrying out the process according to the invention demonstrate.

According to FIG. 1 will be cereals, for example Barley or wheat, which contain approx. 65 to 70% carbohydrates and 8 to 15% native protein, in one Grind mill 1 or put it directly into the pre-we'che 2 and add water under certain circumstances pre-grinding can be dispensed with.

After the pre-soaking has ended, the cereals are finely ground in a wet mill 3 and passed through a sieve 4 any coarse particles removed. promoted and mixed with acid from a storage container 5 or amylase from a storage container 7 In The hydrolysis is carried out in the stirred kettles 6 and 6 '. The reaction takes place in one Boiler while the other is being filled or emptied. The hydrolysis product, which is predominantly sugar contains, a second sieve 8 is used to remove any fiber components and undissolved substances out and then placed directly in a fermenter vessel 9. The fermenter 9 is one of a kind Motor 11 driven agitator 10 equipped. In the fermenter 9, the sugar is under strong ventilation from an air source, not shown, ventilated via a pipe 12. The fermenter 9 is with all required, not shown control and regulating devices provided. One by means of an electric motor

14 driven mechanical foam separator 13 is located in the upper part of the fermenter 9 the fermenter 9 is a mixture of yeast and native protein (or slightly degraded protein) adjusted to the desired pH, concentrated in a multi-stage evaporator 16 and in one Drum dryer 17 is dried and filled into sacks 18, for example.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 2 barley is pre-ground in a raw mill 1 and extracted with water a container, not shown, via a line 19 continuously into a mixing container 20 with a Mixing device 21 promoted. In the wet mill 3 is homogenized and the homogenate in the hydrolysis tank 6 and conveyed with acid or enzymes from a container (not shown) via a line 22 offset. After the hydrolysis has ended, the hydrolyzate is fed directly into the by means of a metering pump 24 Fermenter 9 is pumped and tapped under strong ventilation. The pH value is adjusted in the fermenter with ammonia from a storage container 25 via a line 26. The yeast obtained is via a line

15 fed to the evaporator 16. The pH can be adjusted again in a buffer vessel 27.

The further work-up takes place as in the example according to Fig. 1,

Depending on the content, 100 kg of raw material are converted into Fiber components 65 to 80 kg protein concentrate with 55 to 68% protein content obtained.

For this purpose 2 sheets of drawings
