PREPARATION OF RICE PROTEIN AND SACCHARIFIED SOLUTION FROM 'SAKE' LIQUOR LEES

摘要

PURPOSE:To use ''sake'' lees as a nutrient source effectively, by making a liquefying enzyme act on finely divided ''sake'' lees, heating the lees so that protein is coagulated and separated, followed by making a saccharifying enzyme act on the residual solution to give a saccharified solution. CONSTITUTION:''Sake'' lees in the silo 2 are separated by the sieve 4, finely divided ''sake'' lees are directly sent to the blender 5, and coarsely divided ''sake'' lees are dipped 6, powdered 7, and sent to the blender 5. The ''sake'' lees are blended with warm water, made muddy by the grinders 8-10, and a liquifying enzyme is added to the ''sake'' lees by the liquefying device 11. The prepared liquefied solution is heated by the protein coagulating device 12, protein is coagulated and precipitated, and separated by the sieve 13. The protein is dehydrated 14, washed 15, dehydrated 17, and frozen 18 or dried 20. A saccharifying enzyme is added to the solution by the saccharifying devices 23 and 24 so that it is saccharified, dregs are removed by the sieve 25, and the solution is concentrated 26 to give a raw material for candies with a starch base.
