Abstract
The present invention describes processes for obtaining a fish product with improved binding capabilities. Gelatine is liberated from collagen in connective tissues, skin and bones that is naturally present in the fish raw material as the product is produced from. Further, the present application describes processes for improving the digestibility of bone bounded minerals in feeds. The result is improved biological digestibility of calcium and phosphorus.
Claims30
A process for improving the binding capability of a fish material, characterized in that a collagen containing fish material is subjected to a gelatine liberation step in order to improve the inherent binding capability of said fish material.
A process in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said gelatine liberation step is included in the conventional processing of a fish material to a fish meal product.
A process in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said gelatine liberation step is included in the conventional processing of a fish material to a fish feed product.
A process in accordance with one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said gelatine liberation step is included in the conventional processing of a fish material to a fish product for human consumption such as for instance fish forcemeat, fish balls or fish cakes.
A process for improving the biological digestibility of a feed product made of a raw material comprising as a minor or substantial fraction of bone tissues, characterized in that the raw material is subjected to a process of for gelatine liberation wherein the proteins in the bone tissue are made digestible.
A process for improving the biological digestibility of a feed product made of a raw material comprising as a minor or substantial fraction of bone tissues, characterized in that the raw material is subjected to a process of acid or alkaline treatment wherein minerals in the bone tissue are made soluble.
A process for increasing the binding capability and the biological digestibility of a product, characterized in that a collagen and bone tissue containing raw material is subjected to both a gelatine liberation step in order to improve the inherent binding capability and a process of acid or alkaline treatment wherein minerals in the bone tissue are made soluble.
A product with improved binding capability and biological digestibility, characterized in that the product is manufactured of a collagen and bone tissue containing raw material which is subjected to both a gelatine liberation step in order to improve the inherent binding capability and a process of acid or alkaline treatment wherein minerals in the bone tissue are made soluble.
