A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN ANIMAL PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE, ANIMAL PROTEIN HYDROLYSATES AND ITS USES

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing an animal protein hydrolysates using following steps: (a) subjecting raw material to the pasteurization process, by means of a thread system with controlled temperature and speeds; (b) performing an enzymatic digestion with proportions of 1.5:3,000 to 3.0:3,000 (enzyme:raw material); (c) filtering the resulting mixture of enzymatic digestion; (d) correcting pH of broth with the addition of acid and incorporation of an antifoaming agent; (e) performing an initial centrifugation to separate the liquid and solid phases, followed by flotation with aeration and/or a second centrifugation after the disposal of the solid phase; (f) concentrating broth upon controlled temperature, vacuum and °Brix; (g) performing acid hydrolysis with addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and the neutralization with potassium hydroxide (KOH); (h) cooling protein hydrolysate, optionally with the correction of °Brix with the potassium hydroxide (KCl) that was internally generated by the process itself; and (i) processing mixture and dry the protein hydrolysate. Also, the current patent application concerns the animal protein hydrolysate (HPA) obtained through the process of the present invention, and its uses and/or applications in food industry, such as condiments, seasonings and/or powder meat flavors, particularly in the manufacturing of meat products.
