Abstract
According to the process of the present invention for preparing a pasty proteinous material or a proteinous food, crustaceans are boiled and milled under sufficient conditions for inactivating enzymes contained therein and then proteolytic enzyme(s) and/or micro-organism(s) are allowed to act thereon. Thus various protein sources including crustacean meat remaining in the trunks and carapaces, which have been disposed hitherto, can be efficiently utilized.
Claims10
A process for preparing a pasty proteinous material or a proteinous food from crustacean materials comprising residual meat, bones and carapaces which comprises:
- inactivating enzymes contained in said crustaceans by heating to sufficient temperature(s) for inactivating the enzymes and milling said crustaceans materials to such an extent as to reduce the particle size of said crustacean materials to 200 microns or less;
- and thereafter
- reacting said crustacean materials with proteolytic enzyme(s) or proteolytic microorganism(s) for both until there is produced a 5 to 50% content of water-soluble proteins, based on the total proteins, in the pasty proteinous material or proteinous food and a 40 to 90% content of peptides of molecular weight of 40,000 to 70,000, based on the total peptides except water-soluble peptides and amino acids, in the pasty proteinous material or proteinous food.
A process for preparing a pasty proteinous material or a proteinous food from crustacean materials comprising residual meat, bones and carapaces which comprises:
- inactivating enzyme contained in said crustacean materials by adding thereto, sufficient hydrogen peroxide for inactivating the enzymes, thereafter heating to a temperature that is lower than the temperature required for the inactivating enzymes and is lower than the temperature for gelatin of the proteins contained in said crustacean materials, and milling said crustacean materials to such an extent as to reduce the particle size of said crustacean materials to 200 microns or below;
- and
- thereafter reacting said crustacean materials with a proteolytic enzyme or proteolytic micoorganism or both until there is produced a 5 to 50% content of water-soluble proteins, based on the total proteins, in the pasty proteinous material or proteinous food, and a 40 to 90% content of peptides of molecular weight of 40,000 to 70,000 based on the total peptides except water-soluble peptides and amino acids, in the pasty proteinous material or proteinous food.
