Abstract
Systems and methods for manufacturing maltodextrin and protein nutritional products from rice are disclosed. Some embodiments include: milling hydrated rice, digesting with an α-amylase enzyme to form a mixture of maltodextrin and protein, and separating the protein and maltodextrin from one another.
Claims9
A method of manufacturing rice syrup and a hydrolyzed protein from rice, the method comprising:
- treating the rice with water to prepare a hydrated rice;
- milling the hydrated rice to form a milled rice slurry;
- agitating the slurry with an α-amylase enzyme until a mixture of dissolved maltodextrin and suspended protein is formed;
- homogenizing the maltodextrin and suspended protein to form a homogenous mixture;
- separating the protein and maltodextrin into an isolated protein fraction and an isolated maltodextrin fraction;
- treating the isolated maltodextrin fraction with glucoamylase to provide a rice syrup wherein the rice syrup has a dextrose equivalent ranging from 43 to 98;
- and
- treating the isolated protein fraction with a hydrolyzing agent to provide a hydrolyzed protein.
