Practical Limitations of the Dilute Acid Hydrolysis Method for Solubilizing Meat and Bone Meal Protein

摘要: A previous study reported conditions that hydrolyze meat and bone meal (MBM) protein in a site-specific manner, transforming insoluble MBM into large, soluble fragments with good flocculant functionality. It is not clear, however, this phenomenon can be adapted for industrial-scale processing of at reasonable expense. The present examines whether the desirable characteristics reaction product are retained when hydrolysis conducted using much higher concentration, relatively large solid particles, presence fat bone. results showed mineral depressed conversion rate progressively as concentration increased. An increase acid reversed depression, rates were achieved up to 200 g substrate per liter. Particle size no consistent effect on rate. was shown retain its site specificity under all tested. Higher MB...
