Dephytinization of plant based products in mixtures with high moisture animal, plant or microbial by products

Abstract

Dry plant base products for example, fat extracted meals as a result of processing soybean, canola (rapeseed), sunflower, cottonseed, peanut and other seeds, whole seeds such as peas, beans, and cereal grains, plant based by-products such as rice bran, wheat bran, corn gluten meal, and all other plant based products used in diet formulation, is combined with high moisture animal, plant or microbial by-products, for example animal by-products such as macerated portions or whole carcasses from animals such as fish, poultry, swine or cattle and by-products of the dairy industry such as whey; plant by-products such as corn gluten meal and corn gluten feed; and microbial by-products such as distillers thins from the brewing and distilling industries. The mixture is treated with phytase to dephytinize the plant based products. Optionally, a chelating agent can be added to improve the efficiency of the reaction.
