Abstract
Shown here is a process for preparing a concentrated liquid composition (such as a broth) from poultry or other meat sources without the use of any enzymes. The resultant composition may have high content of solids but are pumpable or pourable and have relatively long shelf life at room temperature. Also shown are methods of extracting proteins from raw poultry or other meat sources at relatively low temperatures. Methods of making a high protein curd is also disclosed.
Claims18
A process for preparing an extract from poultry or other animal parts, comprising:
- (a) mixing one or more poultry or other animal parts with water,
- (b) incubating the mixture of (a) at a temperature between −20° C. and 70° C. for at least 10 minutes to generate a suspension,
- (c) separating said suspension into a liquid fraction and a solid fraction, and
- (d) collecting said liquid fraction from step (c) to obtain said extract,
- wherein no extraneous enzyme is added in the process, and wherein said extract comprises less than 2% (w/w) hydroxyproline as a percentage of total amino acids in said extract.
A process for making a composition, comprising:
- (a) incubating a raw liquid material at a temperature between about 50° C. and 160° C. for a period of at least 10 minutes to generate a suspension containing liquid and solid components,
- (b) separating the liquid component of said suspension from the solid component of said suspension, and
- (c) collecting the liquid component from step (b) to obtain said composition, wherein said composition comprises less than 2% (w/w) hydroxyproline as a percentage of total amino acids in said composition,
- wherein said raw liquid material is at least one member selected from the group consisting of poultry sarcoplasm, blood from poultry, blood from an animal other than poultry, sarcoplasm from an animal other than poultry, and combination thereof, wherein no extraneous enzyme is added in the process, and wherein said separation in step (b) is through filtration using a 100-300 mesh sieve.
A process for making a composition, comprising:
- (a) incubating a raw liquid material at a temperature between about 50° C. and 160° C. for a period of at least 10 minutes to generate a suspension containing liquid and solid components,

- (c) collecting the solid component from step (b) to obtain said composition, wherein said composition comprises less than 2% (w/w) hydroxyproline as a percentage of total amino acids in said composition,
- wherein said raw liquid material is at least one member selected from the group consisting of poultry sarcoplasm, blood from poultry, blood from an animal other than poultry, sarcoplasm from an animal other than poultry, and combination thereof, wherein no extraneous enzyme is added in the process, and wherein said separation in step (b) is through filtration using a 100-300 mesh sieve.
