Complex technologies using enzymatic protein hydrolysate

Abstract

The present invention comprises various uses of enzymatic protein hydrolysate (“EPH,”). The EPH production process involves the profound enzymatic protein hydrolysis of marine animal biomass, whereby cold-water fish wastes are reacted with viscera containing aggressive enzymes that are effective in even mild (slightly alkaline) medium of water. The EPH may be dried to a powder state that is made of approximately 70%-90% free amino acids, 10%-20% highly molecular peptides and 3%-5% vitamins, minerals and oils. The biological value of the EPH stems from the special mix of nutrients and the method by which they are obtained. EPH is particularly suitable as an enhancer for the acceleration of known biological and industrial processes, and most particularly, processes depending upon bacterial or cellular action. The low cost of this highly nutritious product makes it possible to utilize mixtures of amino acids and other nutrients in bio-industrial processes to make them cost-competitive with competing processes.
