Abstract
A molasses fermentation residue is converted into a coagulation product to use in preparing animal feed or fertilizer by concentrating a molasses fermentation residue to a solids level of at least 60 percent, heating the residue to about its boiling point and cooling, adding a soluble phosphate to the cooled residue and coagulating the residue-phosphate mixture by heating at about 105.degree. to 120.degree.C.
Claims7
A process for converting a molasses fermentation residue into a coagulation product comprising:
- a. concentrating said molasses fermentation residue to a solids level of from about 60 to about 80 weight percent thereof;
- b. heating the concentrated residue to about its boiling point to induce thickening thereof;
- c. cooling the concentrated residue to about 80.degree. C.;
- d. admixing up to about 15 percent by weight, based upon the concentrated residue, of a soluble phosphate to form a resultant mixture;
- e. heating said resultant mixture to a temperature of from about 105.degree. to 120.degree. C until coagulation thereof is obtained;
- and,
- f. recovering the coagulation product.
